Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. God's commandments hang together; they are knit and woven together like a fine web, wherein you cannot loosen a single stitch without danger of unravelling the whole. If a man lives in the breach of any one of God's commandments, if he allows himself to indulge in any one sin, none can tell where he will stop. There is no letting any one devil into our souls without the risk of his going and fetching "seven other devils wickeder than himself"; and the purer the house may hitherto have been, the more eager will they be to come and lodge in it. (A. W. Hare.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. |
