Unperfect - Though we meet with this word but once in the whole Bible, namely,
Psalms 139:16, yet, as in the two translations we have of the Psalms, the word in the one is rendered imperfect, which in the other is rendered unperfect, and as the difference is very striking when properly considered, I think it an object of no small moment in a work of this kind, to

Guard this pure gospel of faith and love in Christ. Timothy is to be on his
Guard against Alexander the coppersmith
Prayer - ...
At this point we must
Guard against equating Christian belief in the efficacy of prayer and magic. We must
Guard against the reductionistic motto "To work is to pray. Such prayer

Philippians, Epistle to - ‘Prætorium’ might, indeed, mean Herod’s palace, which was used as the headquarters of the Roman governor in Cæsarea, but the words ‘in the whole Prætorium’ seem to point to the bodyguard of the Emperor, though Mommsen supposes that the conditions are best realized if the words imply that St. Paul was handed over to the judicial prefects of the Prætorian
Guard, who presided over the supreme Imperial court in Rome. No sufficient proof has been adduced that the word was used for the Emperor’s palace in Rome, or for the barracks of the
Guard. His imprisonment has, contrary to expectation, led to the spread of the gospel, partly by his being chained to the Prætorian
Guards, partly through a new courage among his friends, and partly through envious rivalry
Sermon - As to this, we may observe, that, although it is acknowledged that a minister should flame most towards the end, perhaps it would be well to
Guard against a too low and feeble manner in the exordium

Guard; but they left him when it appeared that he was dead
Blood - For this prohibition no moral reason seems capable of being offered; nor does it clearly appear that blood is an unwholesome aliment, which some think was the physical reason of its being inhibited; and if, in fact, blood is deleterious as food, there seems no greater reason why this should be pointed out by special revelation to man, to
Guard him against injury, than many other unwholesome ailments

Guarding care of the Father. Jesus recognized that He had to accept the ordinary conditions of human life, and

Guarding providence
Temple - It only remains to add, that it appears, from several passages of Scripture, that the Jews had a body of soldiers who
Guarded the temple, to prevent any disturbances during the ministration of such an immense number of priests and Levites. To this
Guard Pilate referred, when he said to the chief priests and Pharisees who waited upon him to desire he would make the sepulchre secure, "Ye have a watch, go your way, and make it as secure as ye can,"

Guards one person had the supreme command, who in several places is called the captain of the temple, or officer of the temple

Isaiah 11:6-9;
Romans 8:17-24;
Ezekiel 34:25;
Hosea 2:18); the symbolical prophecy of the recovery of the tree of life; for they

Guard these truly, or add to, alter, or take away
Gnosticism - While we may see in the NT certain germs which afterwards came to maturity in Gnosticism, we must be on our
Guard lest we read too much into NT phraseology, and there by draw wrong conclusions. The stress laid upon epignosis in later books of the NT, Pauline and Petrine, and the marked prominence given to the cognate terms in 1 John, clearly indicate the importance placed on the idea by Apostolic writers as a safeguard of the Christian life. The spiritual man (
1 Corinthians 2:15 ;
1 Corinthians 3:1 ), or the perfect or ripe man (
1 Corinthians 2:8 ), is the man who knows ; and this knowledge which is at once intellectual, moral and spiritual, is one of the greatest safeguards against every form of error, and one of the choicest secrets of the enjoyment of the revelation of God in Christ

Imitation - Can this wonderful many-sided example be exchanged for a dry scholastic formula like ‘fidelity to a vocation’? We have to be on our
Guard lest Protestantism, with its rediscovery of the gospel of God’s love, and with its repudiation of false (monastic) conceptions of the higher life, should blur at some points that moral claim which is, in truth, high as heaven—high as Christ Himself

Guarded the institution; to love and cherish each other; and to remain faithful to each other until death. It may, indeed, be within the scope of mere moralists to show that fidelity, and affection, and all the courtesies necessary to maintain affection, are rationally obligatory upon those who are connected by the nuptial bond; but in Christianity nuptial fidelity is
Guarded by the express law, "Thou shalt not commit adultery;" and by our Lord's exposition of the spirit of that law which forbids the indulgence of loose thoughts and desires, and places the purity of the heart under the
Guardianship of that hallowed fear which his authority tends to inspire

Arius the Heresiarch - That would have been Sabellianism pure and simple, a danger against which it was necessary to
Guard
Jerusalem - Whether his be the ‘land of Moriah ’ of
Genesis 22:2 is doubtful: it has been suggested that the name is here a copyist’s error for ‘land of Midian,’ which would be a more natural place for Jahweh worship in the days of Abraham than would the high place of the
Guardian numen of Jerusalem. Such were the gate Sur and the Gate of the

Law - Is it not then highly remarkable, that it is under this character the Divinity is described on his first manifestation to the Jewish lawgiver? The Deity at first reveals himself unto him as the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; and therefore the peculiar national and
Guardian God of the Jewish race. For the addition of the last, "Thou shalt not covet," proves clearly that in all, the dispositions of the heart, as much as the immediate outward act, is the object of the divine Legislator; and thus it forms a comment on the meaning, as well as a
Guard for the observance, of all the preceding commands
Christianity - Within the range of prophetic vision all time is included, to the final consummation of all things: and the greatest as well as the smallest events are seen with equal distinctness, from the subversion of mighty empires and gigantic cities, to the parting of the raiment of our Lord, and the casting of the lot for his robe by the Roman
Guard stationed at his cross. And now, without adding any more to this argument, we may ask, How could the Christian religion have thus prevailed had it not been introduced by the power of God and of truth? And it has been supported in the world by the same power through a course of many ages, amidst the treachery of its friends, the opposition of its enemies, the dangers of prosperous periods, and the persecutions and violence of adverse circumstances; all which must have destroyed it, if it had not been founded in truth, and
