Side 237 - Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth : therefore let thy words be few.
Side 53 - For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Side 101 - Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
