Acts 1:16-20 Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled… The gambling spirit, which is at all times a stupendous evil, ever and anon sweeps over the country like an epidemic, prostrating uncounted thousands. There has never been a worse attack than that from which all the villages, towns, and cities are now suffering. 1. This sin works ruin, first, by providing an unhealthful stimulant. 2. Again, this sin works ruin by killing industry. 3. Furthermore, this sin is the source of dishonesty. 4. Notice also the effect of this crime upon domestic happiness. (T. de Witt Talmage.) Parallel Verses KJV: Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. |
