Think that it was the spot on which the shepherds received the angels’ message
Vanity - ...
Think not when woman's transient breath is fled, that all her vanities at once are dead succeeding vanities she still regards
Language - It is much more natural to
Think that God taught our first parents only such language as suited their present occasion, leaving them, as he did in other things, to enlarge and improve it, as their future necessities should require. What was the first language taught man, is matter of dispute among the learned, but most,
Think it was the Hebrew
Thorn - Some
Think it was sore eyes and defective vision. Others

Think, and desire
Lebo-Hamath - Many modern interpreters
Think Lebo-hamath was an independent city in the city-state dominated by Hamath in Syria
Mercy: Its Effect on the Soul - What
Think you, will he not entreat the gracious monarch to extend his clemency to his fellow rebels? Will not the tears stand in his eyes as he admires the difference which his sovereign's free mercy has made? Will he not be moved with emotions impossible to describe, of mingled joy and grief; pity and gratitude, wonder and compassion? Christian, see your likeness here drawn to the life, you must surely feel ready to fall down on your knees, and cry,' Lord, why dost thou reveal thy mercy to me and not to these? Save them also, O Lord, for thy name's sake

Dial - Some have imagined it a hemispherical cavity in a horizontal square stone, provided with a gnomon or index In the middle, the shadow of which fell on different lines cut in the hollow surface; some

Haran - Some
Think that it was built by Terah, or by Haran, his eldest son
Richard Challoner - He wrote many religious books, among them the well-known meditations "Think Well On't," the "Garden of the Soul," a favorite book of devotion, "Meditations for Every Day in the Year," and "Memoirs of Missionary Priests
Coney - Some eminent interpreters
Think the SHAPHAN means the Jerboa
Worse -
Think not the worse of him for his enterprise
Casuistry - ...
On the other hand, I
Think it may be observed, that, though these remarks may apply to some, they cannot apply to all books of casuistry. It must be acknowledged that nice distinctions, metaphysical reasonings, and abstruse terms, cannot be of much service to the generality, because there are so few who can enter into them; yet, when we consider how much light is thrown upon a subject by the force of good reasoning, by viewing a case in all its bearings, by properly considering all the objections that may be made to it, and by examining it in every point of view; if we consider also how little some men are accustomed to
Think, and yet at the same time possess that tenderness of conscience which makes them fearful of doing wrong; we must conclude that such works as these, when properly executed, may certainly be of considerable advantage
Reed - (
Matthew 27:29) How little, did they
Think that both the crown of thorns and the reed, were emblems of the Lord Jesus's character as the Messiah. " (
Genesis 3:18) And little did they
Think that when they had crowned him with thorns, and put the reed in his right hand, JEHOVAH had that day set him for his king upon his holy hill of Zion
Baal Zebub - Some commentators
Think that he was called Baal Samin, or the lord of heaven; but that the Jews, from contempt, gave him the name of Baal-zebub. " Those commentators who
Think that the idol of Ekron himself is intended, have indulged in an improbable fancy
Consent - , "to
Think well with" (sun, "with," eu, "well," dokeo, "to
Think"), to take pleasure with others in anything, to approve of, to assent, is used in
Luke 11:48 , of "consenting" to the evil deeds of predecessors (AV, "allow"); in
Romans 1:32 , of "consenting" in doing evil; in
Acts 8:1 ; 22:20 , of "consenting" to the death of another

Milk - It means "butter," but also more frequently "cream," or perhaps, as some
Think, "curdled milk," such as that which Abraham set before the angels (
Genesis 18:8 ), and which Jael gave to Sisera (
Judges 5:25 )
Apple Tree - They
Think the common apple tree was only recently introduced to Palestine, and that the wild variety hardly matches the description given to the tree and its fruit in the Bible
Shew-Bread, - Then they were replaced by twelve new ones, the incense was burned, and they were eaten by the priests in the holy place, out of which they might not be removed, The title "bread of the face" seems to indicate that bread through which God is seen, that is, with the participation of which the seeing of God is bound up, or through the participation of which man attains the sight of God whence it follows that we have not to
Think of bread merely as such as the means of nourishing the bodily life, but as spiritual food as a means of appropriating and retaining that life which consists In seeing the face of God
Parlour - The "inner parlours" in
1 Chronicles 28:11 were the small rooms or chambers which Solomon built all round two sides and one end of the temple (

Salvation: Theme For Thought - He said, 'Here is the black leaf that is my sin, and the wrath of God which my sin deserves; I look, and look, and
Think it is not black enough to represent my guilt, though it is as black as black can be
Conclave - The conclave is not fixed to any one determinate place, for the constitutions of the church allow the cardinals to make choice of such a place for the conclave as they
Think most convenient: yet it is generally held in the Vatican
Knife - Some Bible students
Think the pruning hooks of
Isaiah 18:5 were curved knives
Narrow (And Forms) - The world
Thinks that GOD's people are fanatics because they do not follow the ways of the world in sin of many kinds. Because the believer does not spend his time, talents and funds in the ways of the world, they
Think that the Christian is restricted and hindered
Fly - Some
Think this passage may refer to the airplane)
Sheminith - If therefore we suppose (and which I venture to
Think may be done without violence) that the blessed things contained in them refer to Christ, may we not suppose also that the Psalm itself is therefore dedicated to him? If the reader wishes to see yet farther the foundation of such probable conclusions, I refer him to Parkhurst's Lexicon, page 696, or Fenwick on Titles of the Psalms, page 18

Think how dear, and endeared in every way, and by every means, is the Lord Jesus Christ when brought home to the heart, and formed "in the heart the hope of glory

Think the art originated and where existing specimens are unusually fine

Detraction - Nothing can be more incongruous with the spirit of the Gospel, the example of Christ, the command of God, and the love of mankind, than a spirit of detraction; and yet there are many who never seem happy but when they are employed in this work: they feed and live upon the supposed infirmities of others; they allow excellence to none; they depreciate every thing that is praise-worthy; and, possessed of no good themselves, they
Think all others are like them
Sorrow: For Sin Absorbing - When that famous statesman Mirabeau died, all France bewailed his loss, and men for some hours could
Think or speak of little else
Kue - Many
Think, further, that the Hebrew word translated as “Egypt” (Mizraim) should be translated as “Musri,” a country in Asia Minor near Cilicia
Invocation - The Protestants censure and reject this opinion, as contrary to Scripture; deny the truth of the fact; and
Think it highly unreasonable to suppose that a limited, finite being, should be in a manner omnipresent, and, at one and the same time, hear and attend to the prayers that are offered up to him in England, China, and Peru; and from hence infer, that, if the saints cannot hear their request, it is inconsistent with common sense to address any kind of prayer to them
Tongues, Gift of - ...
The expression 'unknown tongue' is unhappy, because it has led some to
Think that the gift of tongues consisted of a sort of unintelligible gibberish
Aquila And Priscilla - Some scholars
Think the church at Ephesus received a copy of the last chapter of Romans
Behold - This word is so often used in the word of God, that I do not
Think it unimportant to have a place in our Concordance

Dial - The generality of expositors
Think that it was a staircase so disposed, that the sun showed the hours upon it by the shadow
Laodicea - It was addressed by Paul in his letter to Colosse, and in another now lost,
Colossians 2:1 4:13-16 , though some
Think the "Epistle to the Ephesians" is the one alluded to
Shekel - ...
Between the sacred shekel,
Exodus 30:13 , and the shekel after the "king's weight,"
2 Samuel 14:26 , there would seem to have been a difference; but this and many
Think the phrase "shekel of the sanctuary" simply means a full and just shekel, according to the temple standards
Adino - Some
Think that Jashobeam and Joshebbassebet are the same name — one being varied by the copyist
Gil'e-ad - (
Judges 7:3 ) We are inclined, however, to
Think that the true reading in this place should be GILBOA
Allow - ...
3: συνευδοκέω (Strong's #4909 — Verb — suneudokeo — soon-yoo-dok-eh'-o ) "to consent or fully approve" (sun, "with," eu, "well," dokeo, "to

Luke 11:48 ; "was consenting" in

Easter Day - Some
Think that itis derived from a Saxon term meaning "rising"; others

Report - It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews

The word may mean “think. Those who fear the Lord may also “think” upon His name (
Apollonius of Tyana - )
Thinks that part may be genuine; but Kayser and Zeller reject them summarily, and most writers on Apollonius barely mention them. We do not
Think that this opinion can be held by any one who attentively compares the letters with the biography; and we
Think it probable that the letters, whether genuine or not, were composed before the work of Philostratus, and hence form our earliest and best authority respecting Apollonius. Baur took an intermediate view in his Apollonius von Tyana und Christus, Tübingen, 1832), which in its main outline will we
Think commend itself as by far the most probable account. This cannot, we
Think, be doubted by any one who reflects on the whole tone of the book. But was any character like this, or approaching to this, drawn by any heathen writer before Christ? We
Think not
Ibleam - Many Bible students
Think Ibleam was the original reading for the Levite city in
Joshua 21:25 , where the Hebrew text now reads “Gath-rimmon,” also read in
Joshua 21:24
Ashtoreth, Plural Ash'Taroth - This last name is commonly rendered in the English version "grove;" but eminent Hebrew scholars
Think this meaning is unsupported either by the etymology or the context
Serpent, Brazen - Some
Think it represented the Celestial Dragon, others the spirit of an ancestor, others a chthonic deity: Robertson Smith believed that it was the totem of David’s house
Red Sea - Some
Think it is derived from the red colour of the mountains on the western shore; others from the red coral found in the sea, or the red appearance sometimes given to the water by certain zoophytes floating in it
Sincerity - This word, however, like many others, is abused, and often becomes a subterfuge for the ungodly and the indolent, who
Think that their practice is nothing; but that sincerity, or a good heart, as they call it, is all in all
Count - ) To esteem; to account; to reckon; to
Think, judge, or consider
Kish - Some
Think he was the grandson of Abiel and son of Ner
Threshold -
1 Samuel 5:4 (c) We may learn from this interesting incident that those who approach an idol or the temple of the idol should see that the idol could neither
Think (for his head was off), nor work (for his hands were off)
Lectures, Religious - Beside lectures on the sabbath day, many
Think proper to preach on week days; sometimes at five in the morning, before people go to work, and at seven in the evening, after they have done
Key - I should not
Think it necessary to notice this, the thing is so familiar, were it not that the Lord Jesus hath condescended to use the figure with reference to his grace and power
Accad - Some believe this to have been the ancient Accad; but others
Think it must have been farther south
Rahab - Others
Think she was only a hostess or innkeeper, and that this is the true signification of the original word
Cush - Others
Think it is Saul
Let - ) To consider; to
Think; to esteem
Bethsaida - Others
Think it unlikely that two cities in such close neighborhood should have borne the same name
Pretorium - Some
Think that by this he means the palace of the emperor Nero; and others, that he intends the place where the roman Praetor sat to administer justice, that is, his tribunal
Same - Do but
Think how well the same he spends, who spends his blood his country to relieve
Deacon - Special directions as to the qualifications for and the duties of deacons will be found in Acts 6 and (
1 Timothy 3:8-12 ) From the analogy of the synagogue, and from the scanty notices in the New Testament, we may
Think of the deacons or "young men" at Jerusalem as preparing the rooms for meetings, distributing alms, maintaining order at the meetings, baptizing new converts, distributing the elements at the Lord's Supper
Paul, Conversion of Saint - We find him described by two names, Saul and Paul, thefirst being Hebrew, relating to his Jewish origin and the otherLatin, assumed by him, as some
Think, at his conversion, as an actof humility, styling himself less than the least of all saints
Ananias - The expression may mean (a) that Paul had at the moment overlooked the honour due to the high priest; or (b), as others
Think, that Paul spoke ironically, as if he had said, "The high priest breaking the law! God's high priest a tyrant and a lawbreaker! I see a man in white robes, and have heard his voice, but surely it cannot, it ought not to be, the voice of the high priest. ) (c) Others
Think that from defect of sight Paul could not observe that the speaker was the high priest
Merits - Even the captain did not seem very grateful; so our hero ventured, in a roundabout style to hint, that such valuable services as his, having saved the vessel, ought to be rewarded at least with some few words of acknowledgment; when he was shocked to hear the captain say, 'What, sir, do you
Think you saved the vessel? Why, I gave you that rope to hold to keep you engaged, that you might not be in such a feverish state of alarm. They
Think they can certainly save themselves, and there they stand holding the rope with their clenched teeth and their feet tightly fixed, while they are really doing no more than our officious friend, who was thus befooled
Eve - Thus she welcomed Cain, as some
Think, as if he had been the Promised One the "See d of the woman
Badger - Others
Think it is the stag goat, of the antelope kind, called thacasse , related perhaps to tachash , to be seen on Egyptian monuments
Feel, Feeling, Felt - ...
2: φρονέω (Strong's #5426 — Verb — phroneo — fron-eh'-o ) "to
Think, to be minded," is translated "I felt" in the RV of
1 Corinthians 13:11 (for AV, "I understood")
Tarshish - Some
Think there was a Tarshish in the East, on the Indian coast, seeing that "ships of Tarshish" sailed from Eziongeber, on the Red Sea (
1 Kings 9:26 ; 22:48 ;
2 Chronicles 9:21 )
Nahum, Book of - Others, however,
Think that his prophecies are to be referred to the latter half of the reign of Hezekiah (about B
Fiery - (a) Some
Think that this is a definite reference to the operation of motor vehicles by electricity
Seer - " (
1 Samuel 9:9) I
Think it is very remarkable, however, that there is this striking difference between the two names, in that we find the word seer made use of as being the king's seer, but when the name of prophet is used, it is said "the prophet of the Lord
Excuse -
Think you that we excuse ourselves to you? 2 cor 12 ...

Evangelists - In which sense these interpreters
Think it is that St
Chemosh - Jerom and most interpreters consider Chemosh and Peor as the same deity; but some
Think that Baal-Peor was Tammuz, or Adonis
Lamentations of Jeremiah - One would
Think, as it has often been said, that every letter was written with a tear, and every word was the sob of a broken heart
River - Such conduits were easily turned by moulding the soil with the foot; and some
Think this is the idea in
Deuteronomy 11:10 ; "where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs
Philologus - The locality to which we shall suppose these churches belonged will depend upon whether we
Think the destination of these salutations was Rome or Ephesus
Count - ...
3: λογίζομαι (Strong's #3049 — Verb — logizomai — log-id'-zom-ahee ) "to reckon," is rendered "count" in
2 Corinthians 10:2 , RV (AV, "think"); "counted" in the AV of
Romans 2:26 ; 4:3,5 ; 9:8 (RV, "reckoned")
Ift - All Bible students do not agree with this, but rather
Think that it refers to the Holy Spirit. Some
Think it may refer to "eternal life
Child - On his account I
Think it important, and the reader will, I hope, forgive me. " I know not whether the reader enters with me into an apprehension of the very great loveliness, as well as importance, of the expression, in respect to the holy child Jesus; but I cannot but
Think, that the church, in this prayer, laid the whole stress, for their prayers being answered, upon the person of Jesus, in the holiness of that nature; which nature the church considered as its own
Hebron - Some
Think it was founded by Arba, one of the oldest giants in Palestine; for which reason it was called Kirjath-arba, or Arba's city,
Joshua 14:15 ; which name was afterward changed to that of Hebron,
Joshua 15:13 . When it was first called Hebron, is uncertain; some
Think, not till it was conquered by Caleb, and that he called it so from his son of that name
Worthy, Worthily - ...
B — 1: ἀξιόω (Strong's #515 — Verb — axioo — ax-ee-o'-o ) "to
Think or count worthy," is used (1) of the estimation formed by God (a) favorably,
2 Thessalonians 1:11 , "may count (you) worthy (of your calling)," suggestive of grace (it does not say "may make you worthy");
Hebrews 3:3 , "of more glory," of Christ in comparison with Moses; (b) unfavorably,
Hebrews 10:29 , "of how much sorer punishment;" (2) by a centurion (negatively) concerning himself,
Luke 7:7 ; (3) by a church, regarding its elders,
1 Timothy 5:17 , where "honor" stands probably for "honorarium," i. 1 (
Acts 28:22 ),
Think (
Acts 15:38 )
Thorn - We should hardly
Think Gideon went far to seek these plants. I find nothing in the New Testament concerning this crown which Pilate's soldiers put on the head of Jesus, to incline one to
Think that it was of thorns, and intended, as is usually supposed, to put him to pain. '
The total silence of Polycarp, Barnabas, Clemens Romanus, and all the other Christian writers whose works are now extant, and who wrote before Tertullian, in particular, will give some weight to incline one to
Think that this crown was not platted with thorns
Baptism of Fire - So some
Think of the fiery tongues at Pentecost as the fulfillment of his prediction
Omri (1) - The length of this king’s reign is given as twelve years, but some
Think it to have been more
Kenites - ” Some scholars
Think the traveling blacksmiths of the Middle Ages resembled the Kenites
Sabean - Some scholars
Think this is too far south and seek biblical Sheba in northern Arabia near Medina on the wadi esh-Shaba
Conceit - ...
CONCEIT, To conceive to imagine to
Think to fancy
City - Which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God, (
Hebrews 11:10) I
Think it not improper to notice this, in a work of this kind, inasmuch as we meet with the expression frequently in Scripture, both in allusion to the church of God upon earth, and the church triumphant in heaven
Zerubbabel - Some
Think that Zerubbabel had also the name of Sheshbazzar, and that he has this name in
Ezra 1:8
Jehoshaphat - Others
Think the office maintained public records, while others speak of a foreign minister
Pre-Existence of Souls - That it had Jewish adherents is clear from ( a )
Wis 8:19-20 , written by some Jewish
Thinker influenced (as, e. Some
Think that the question rose from Jewish ideas as to pre-natal consciousness
Weak - To
Think every thing disputable, si a proof of a weak mind and captious temper
Self-Defence - "Notwithstanding, " says Grove, "the great names which may appear on the side of any of these opinions, I cannot but
Think self-defence, though it proceeds to the killing of another to save one's self, is in common cases not barely permitted, but enjoined by nature; and that a man would be wanting to the Author of his being, to society, and to himself, to abandon that life with which he is put in trust. And if it be said that I dispatch him with his sins upon him into the other world, which he might have lived long enough to repent of, if legally condemned: as he must answer for that, who brought me under a necessity of using this method for my own preservation; so I myself may not be prepared, or may not
Think myself so, or so well assured of it as to venture into the presence of my great Judge; and no charity obliges me to prefer the safety of another's soul to my own
Self-Love - When we
Think too well of our righteousness, and over-value our good actions, and are pure in our own eyes. There is an everlasting obligation on men to love God for what he is, however incapable of doine it; but, at the same time, our love to him is our interest; nor can we, in the present state, I
Think, while possessed of such bodies and such minds, love God without including a sense of his relative goodness
Gilgal - Joshua set up Gilgal as the border between Judah and Benjamin (
Joshua 15:7 ; compare
Joshua 18:17 ), though many Bible students
Think the border town must be south of the original camp. The earliest Greek translation reads this as “kings of the nations in Galilee,” which many scholars
Think is the original reading, a copyist of the Hebrew text using the word “Gilgal” since it had become familiar in the earlier chapters of Joshua
Mount Sinai - Since Horeb means “waste” or “wilderness area,” it seems best to
Think of Horeb as the general term for the area and Sinai as the specific peak where God manifested Himself to Moses. Many explorers
Think Ras es-Safsafeh is the biblical Sinai because it has a plain, er Rahah , on its northwest base, which is two miles long and about two thirds of a mile wide
Rain - ...
Proverbs 28:3 (a) One would
Think that the poor man would bring a blessing to the poor, seeing they are in the same condition. One would
Think that the rain would bring fruitfulness and blessing to the ground as it fell upon it
Gate - Modern structures lead us to
Think of iron throughout, but it is more likely the gate was of wood and faced with iron. Although it is spoken of as a gate (πύλη), we have reason to

the Rich Man And Lazarus - Yes, said Luther, I do
Think our Lord must have known the rich man and Lazarus in Galilee, or in Samaria, or in Judea. ...
The very first thing, as I
Think, that we are to see clearly in this scripture is this, that the rich man is not in hell simply and wholly because he had starved Lazarus to death. I used to read this parable so superficially as to
Think that the rich man is where he is altogether because of his starvation of Lazarus. On the other hand, the crumbs that were sent out to Lazarus must, as I
Think, have been much more than mere crumbs. They must have been both many and large and savoury crumbs, as I
Think, else Lazarus would not have been laid so regularly and so long at that gate. Those who carried Lazarus to that rich man's gate every morning did so, as I
Think, because they had found out by experience that this was the best gate in all the city at which to lay Lazarus down. Just
Think for yourself what you will say and do if you come to yourself for the first time there. But there is one lesson specially intended, as I
Think, for us who are ministers. Else, if they had, do you

Preaching: Need of Prayer And Unction - In a Romish book by Father Faber of the Oratory, we find the following:: 'Do you remember the story of that religious, a Jesuit I
Think, who was a famous preacher, and whose sermons converted men by scores? It was revealed to him that not one of the conversions was owing to his talents or eloquence, but all to the prayers of an illiterate lay-brother who sat on the pulpit steps praying all the time for the success of the sermon

Degrees - Some
Think that they were called psalms of degrees, because they were sung upon the fifteen steps of the temple; but they are not agreed where these steps were. Calmet
Thinks, that they were called songs of degrees, or of ascent, because they were composed on occasion of the deliverance of the Jews from the captivity of Babylon, either to implore this deliverance from God, or to return thanks for it after it had been obtained; and that the Hebrews used the term to go up, when they spoke of their journeying from Babylon to Jerusalem
Oak - We have reason to

Gallio - Paul being about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, that if the matter in question were a breach of justice, or an action of a criminal nature, he should

Accad - The Semitic Babylonians ("the white race"), or, as some scholars

Badger - Aben Ezra

Ezekiel 16:10 . Faber, Dathe, and Rosenmuller,

Wall - Some commentators

Think any kind of fence would serve the purpose (Meyer). Alford
Thinks the primary allusion is to the rending of the veil at the Crucifixion
Deliverance - To
Think of Christ is to
Think of Him as Saviour
Love to God - Nor can these two ideas, I
Think, be well separated; for, however some may argue that genuine love to God should arise only from a sense of his amiableness, yet I
Think it will be difficult to conceive how it can exist, abstracted from the idea of his relative goodness
Bereans - As to their practice and discipline, they consider infant baptism as a divine ordinance, instituted in the room of circumcision; and
Think it absurd to suppose that infants, who all agree are admissible to the kingdom of God in heaven, should, nevertheless, be incapable of being admitted into his visible church on earth. They do not
Think that they have any power to deliver a backsliding brother to Satan; that text, and other similar passages, such as, "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, " &c. Neither do they
Think themselves authorized, as a Christian church, to enquire into each other's political opinions, any more than to examine into each other's notions of philosophy. ...
They both recommend and practise, as a Christian duty, submission for lawful authority; but they do not
Think that a man by becoming a Christian, or joining their society, is under any obligation by the rules of the Gospel to renounce his right of private judgment upon matters of public or private importance. Upon all such subjects they allow each other to
Think and act as each may see it his duty; and they require nothing more of the members than a uniform and steady profession of the apostolic faith, and a suitable walk and conversation
People - In
Thinking of God and His people, He would
Think of Him as a moral Being and of them as moral beings. He would
Think of the relations between Him and them as moral, and therefore as founded in this direct inward relation to them as individuals. He would
Think also of His relation to them as absolutely impartial, and of their relations to Him as absolutely equal. And for all these reasons He would
Think of the relation between God and His people, as His people, as in no sense legal, and as not permitting Him to show towards any people in particular either national favour or political privileges. Finally, all this implies that Christ would
Think of God and His people in terms of purely moral universality

Bigotry - If we consider the different makes of men's minds, our own ignorance, the liberty that all men have to
Think for themselves, the admirable example our Lord has set us of a contrary spirit, and the baneful effects of this disposition, we must at once be convinced of its impropriety
Diligence - What a wealth of minor good, as we may
Think it to be, might be shaken down into the interstices of ten years' work, which might prove to be as precious in result, by the grace of God, as the greater works of the same period
False Confidences - But is not something of the same kind happening around you every day? Those people who are alarmed and perplexed at the danger of having to judge for themselves in religious matters,
Think to escape that danger by choosing to take some guide as an infallible one, and believe or disbelieve as he bids them
Hanging - Some Bible students
Think hanging was prescribed only for blasphemers and idolaters
Unicorn, - Considering that the reem is spoken of as a two-horned animal of great strength and ferocity, that it was evidently well known and often seen by the Jews, that it is mentioned as an animal fit for sacrificial purposes, and that it is frequently associated with bulls and oxen we
Think there can be no doubt that, some species of wild ox is intended
Javan - " Others from the mention of "Sabeans" (
Joel 3:8)

Bird - It is a curious thing that the duck is not apparently (unless, as some
Think, in

Dispute - They had a dispute on the lawfulness of slavery, a subject which, one would
Think, could admit of no dispute
Likeness - Interpreters have identified the divine likeness with the ability to
Think rationally, to form relationships with other humans and with God, or with the exercise of dominion over creation (cf
Armageddon - It would be natural to
Think of it as the site of the last and greatest battle of all
Manoah - " And the name Wonderful is Christ's well-known name (
Isaiah 9:6) Reader, what
Think you of the subject? Was it not Jesus, as if longing for the time of his coming to tabernacle openly with his people?...
Mary Magdalene - And what is more remarkable, the Holy Ghost is particular to tell the church this, in the same moment he speaks of the mercy; for so the sweet and gracious words run" Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary, Magdalene, out of whom he cast seven devils;"Did the kind compassionate, Lord mean to say by this condescending act of grace, that there he will be most gracious where Satan hath been most, cruel? Did he thereby mean to intimate to all his disciples, that the poor lamb of his fold shall have, the softest lying down in his bosom, whom the prowling wolf hath most torn and worried with his claws? Oh! that every deeply-exercised follower of the Lord Jesus would frequently
Think of this; and, as often as this Magdalene riseth to their recollection, would behold the Lord Jesus in this unequalled act of mercy, that "where sin abounded, grace doth much more abound; that as sin hath reigned unto death, so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord?" (
Romans 5:21)...

Believe - ...
In popular use and familiar discourse, to believe often expresses an opinion in a vague manner, without a very exact estimate of evidence, noting a mere preponderance of opinion, and is nearly equivalent to

Abiathar - Others, however,
Think that the loaves belonged to Abiathar, who was at that time (
Leviticus 24:9 ) a priest, and that he either himself gave them to David, or persuaded his father to give them
Imposition of Hands - Some suppose it to be confined to those who received extraordinary gifts in the primitive times: others
Think it ought to be retained, as it was an ancient practice used where no extraordinary gifts were conveyed,
Genesis 48:14
Fat - " This is observed by the modern Jews, who
Think that the fat of other sorts of clean creatures is allowed them, even that of beasts which have died of themselves, conformably to ...
Leviticus 7:24 : "And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use; but ye shall in nowise eat of it
Proseuchae - Prideaux; and they
Think the difference consists partly in the form of the edifice; a synagogue, they say, being roofed like our houses or churches; and a proseucha being only encompassed with a wall, or some other mound or enclosure, and open at the top, like our courts

Hannah - What Elkanah might have been driven to do had it not been for the worship and the sacrifices at Shiloh, we tremble to
Think of. And even when some might
Think your person respected, it may be to this extent, to the great and gracious extent of forgiveness; while, all the time, a sharp vengeance is taken on your inventions. ' Little did her adversary
Think-only, people like Hannah's adversary never
Think-little, I was going to say, did Peninnah
Think what a life of sin she had plunged Hannah into. And little do we
Think-only one here and there has the power and the will, the mind and the heart so to
Think-how we plunge this man and that woman into a lifetime of deadly sin just by the way we provoke them to anger at us. Little do we
Think the sins that we are the true cause of, and of which we shall one day have to share the guilt. But I do not
Think that He was greatly offended to be so taken
Vagabond - " (See
Genesis 4:12-14) I am inclined to

I cannot but
Think, however, that there was much more in Cain's sentence concerning these terms of a fugitive and a vagabond, than what is here supposed
Angel - Some
Think that this person was the Lord JESUS. Some, however,
Think that the angel in verse
Genesis 22:15 is one of the persons of the Godhead, and that He Himself was making the statement found in verse
Genesis 22:16. Some
Think that all three Persons of the Trinity were there

Pride - Proud persons do not

Souls: Care For - Poor pay, you
Think, for such dangerous toil; but, fellow worker for Jesus, I wish we were as venturesome for souls, and as careful of them, as these poor peasants are concerning miserable bundles of grass
Ben-Hadad - When this Ben-hadad besieged Samaria again, God through Elisha caused him to
Think Hittites and Egyptians were attacking him
Breed - I
Think it is never used of plants, and in animals is always applied to the mother or dam
Leper - And this, I
Think, is plain, from this one striking circumstance; namely that it was deemed an impious presumption of the prerogative of God, to attempt by any human means to cure it
Lily - ...

Concern - They ...

Lent - Others
Think that it was of ecclesiastical institution, and that it was variously observed in different churches, and grew by degrees from a fast of forty hours to a fast of forty days
Allegory -
Think reader, if it be possible, how JEHOVAH'S mind hath been occupied from all eternity, in bringing in, and revealing the Lord Jesus to his church and people
Ishi - I have been from everlasting the Husband and Head of my church, in the secret transactions of covenant redemption; but in that day when I shall openly manifest myself in that character I will be called Ishi: "for my people shall know my name, therefore they shall in that day know that I am he that doth speak, behold, it is I!" (
Isaiah 52:6) Reader
Think if of the love and tenderness of thy Jesus! Was there ever such grace manifested as by him? Who but must love him? Who but must delight in him? Yes, Lord, I will do as thou hast said, and call thee Ishi, my Husband, my man, and also the Lord my Righteousness!...
See Ammi...
Melchizedek - An infinite number of absurd opinions have been at different times held respecting this mystic personage, as that he was Shem, or Ham; or, among those who
Think he was more than human, that he was the Holy Ghost, or the Son of God himself; absurdities which are too obsolete to need refutation
Zeal For Souls - 'Why do you
Think so?' 'Oh, I heard such a report this afternoon, and though I am not certain about it, you had perhaps better not proceed
Poor Poverty - In
Matthew 5:3 our Lord’s words are repeated in a different form-‘Blessed are the poor in spirit’; and while we may be inclined to
Think that Luke gives us the more original form of the words, the gloss, if it be such, of Matthew’s Gospel is very possibly just in substance
Advocate - People today usually
Think of an advocate as one who pleads on behalf of another in a court of law, but only occasionally does the Bible use the word in this legal sense (e
David - in His Services -
Think much about intentions. When I
Think of that service, all the other services that David has done by his Psalms shine out in a far diviner glory.
Think, people of God, of the honour to David, higher far than all the thrones on earth and in heaven,-the unparalleled and immortal honour of being able to teach Jesus Christ to sing and to pray. And then,
Think of Him as He grew in wisdom, and in stature, and in strength of spirit beginning to discover Himself in this Psalm of David and in that.
Think of the sweet start, the overpowering surprise, the solemnity, the rejoicing with trembling, the resignation, the triumph with which the growing Saviour was led of the Spirit from Psalm to Psalm till He had searched out all David's Psalms in which David had prophesied and sung concerning his Messiah Son. And, having once begun to read and to
Think in that way you will go on till you come to the cross, where you will see and hear your dying Redeemer with one of David's Psalms on His lips when He can no longer hold it in His hands. And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?...
O two disciples, on your way that same day to Emmaus, how I envy you your travelling Companion that day! My heart burns to
Think of your Divine Companion opening up to you David's Messianic Psalms that memorable day. And when I
Think also of the multitudes that no man can number to whom David's Psalms have been their constant song in the house of their pilgrimage; in the tabernacle as they fell for the first time hot from David's heart and harp; in the temple of Solomon his son with all the companies of singers and all their instruments of music; in the synagogues of the captivity; in the wilderness as the captives returned to the New Jerusalem; in the New Jerusalem every Sabbath-day and every feast-day; in the upper room, both before and after supper; in Paul's prison at Philippi; in the catacombs; in Christian churches past number; in religious houses all over Christendom at all hours of the day and the night; in deserts, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth; in our churches; in our Sabbath-schools; in our families morning and evening; in our sickrooms; on our death-beds; and in the night-watches when the disciples of Christ watch and pray lest they enter into temptation
the Mother of Zebedee's Children - WHY does the Evangelist write the text in that round-about way? Why does he not write the text in his own simple and straightforward style? Why does he not simply say: Salome, the mother of James and John? I do not know for certain why the Evangelist writes in that ambiguous and intentionally obscure way, but I will tell you what I
Think about it. And thus it was, as I
Think, that Matthew wrote in this round-about way about it. And it was the sight of all this that made our Lord's rising anger turn to an infinite pity, till He said to her two sons: 'Are ye able to drink of My cup, and to be baptized with My baptism?' And what do you
Think the two insane men said? They actually said: "We are able!" In such sin had their mother Salome conceived them. And what would I
Think of them if they took advantage of their friendship with Christ, as I am taking advantage of my friendship with Him, in order to get Him to favour them and their sons at our expense? And what would I
Think of Him if He was imposed upon, and prevailed upon, to overlook, and neglect, and injure my sons, at the shameful plot of some of their mothers?' Had Salome talked in that way to her own heart; and, especially, had she brought up her sons to look at themselves and at all their fellows in that light; she would then have been as wise a woman as she now was a fool, and as good a mother as she now was a bad. Where had Salome lived all her days? What kind of a mother had she herself had? In what synagogue in all Israel had she worshipped God? Who had been her teachers in the things of God? What had she been
Thinking about all the time our Lord had been teaching and preaching in her hearing, as He did every day, about seeing with other people's eyes, and feeling with other people's hearts, and doing to other mothers and to their sons as she would have them do to her and to her sons? How could she have lived in this world, and especially in the day and in the discipleship of Christ, and how could she have borne and brought up her sons to be His disciples, and still be capable of this disgraceful scheme? Had she possessed one atom of experience of the world, not to say of truth and wisdom and love, she could never have petitioned for a place of such offence and such danger for her two sons. And even had James and John got their two thrones, would they, do you
Think, have got one-thousandth part of the pleasure out of their thrones that Peter and the nine would have got pain? And your own cup of honour, and praise, and what not, is not half so sweet to you as it is bitter as blood to the Peters and the Judases who see it in your hand
Supralapsarians - ...
The question which he proposes to discuss, is, "Whether men were considered in the mind of God in the decree of election as fallen or unfallen, as in the corrupt mass through the fall, or in the pure mass of creatureship, previous to it, and as to be created?" There are some who
Think that the latter, so considered, were the objects of election in the divine mind. And in this way of considering the decrees of God, they
Think that they sufficiently obviate and remove the slanderous calumny cast upon them with respect to the other branch of predestination, which leaves men in the same state when others are chosen, and that for the glory of God. They
Think also that this way on conceiving and speaking of these things, best expresses the sovereignty of God in them, as declared in the 9th of Romans, where he is said to will such and such things, for no other reason but because he wills them

Fulness - When we
Think of a pitcherful of water, we may regard the water as a completed entity, which by successive additions has reached its full quantity and become a pleroma of water; but much more naturally we
Think of it as that which fills the pitcher, and is pleroma. The Church, redeemed humanity in its vital spiritual unity, grown at last to a ‘perfect man,’ to the ‘fulness of Christ,’ which is the ‘fulness of God’; God thus possessing in man the fulfilment of His eternal purpose, His perfect image, the consummate organ of His Spirit-even this is possible to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or

Humanity, Humankind - ...
For example, we must not
Think that, because Jesus told people to love God with all their heart and soul and mind and strength, they are made up of four parts (
Mark 12:30); or that, because Paul prayed for the Thessalonians to be kept blameless in spirit, soul and body, they are made up of three parts (
1 Thessalonians 5:23); or that, because Jesus spoke of the destruction of soul and body, they are made up of two parts (
Matthew 10:28). We should not
Think of them as two ‘parts’ which, put together in a certain proportion, make up the inner life (as hydrogen and oxygen, put together in a certain proportion, make up water). It is probably better to
Think of them as the inner life viewed from different aspects
Baptism For the Dead - If it can be proved (as some
Think it can) that this practice was as early as the days of the apostle Paul, it might probably form a solution of those remarkable words in
1 Corinthians 15:29 : "If the dead rise not at all, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead?" The allusion of the apostle to this practice, however, is rejected by some, and especially by Fr. Doddridge, who
Thinks it too early: he thus paraphrases the passage: "Such are our views and hopes as Christians; else, if it were not so, what should they do who are baptized in token of their embracing the Christian faith, in the room of the dead, who are just fallen in the cause of Christ, but are yet supported by a succession of new converts, who immediately offer themselves to fill up their places, as ranks of soldiers that advance to the combat in the rooms of their companions who have just been slain in their sight?" Lay baptism we find to have been permitted by both the common prayer books of king Edward and queen Elizabeth, when an infant was in immediate danger of death, and a lawful minister could not be had
Confusion of Tongues - Some
Think that no new languages were formed; but that this event was accomplished by creating a misunderstanding and variance among the builders without any immediate influence on their language; and that a distinction is to be made between confounding a language and forming new ones
Scoffer: Silenced - At length the infidel walked up to him, and rudely slapping him on the shoulder, said, 'Old fellow, what do you

Think it unnecessary to swell the pages of this Concordance with the history of Sarah, because we have it already most blessedly set forth in the holy Scriptures, yet I cannot shut up this article without making a short observation on that beautiful allegory which the Holy Ghost hath given us in Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, (

Anger - In contrast with our modern emphasis on the constructive uses of anger, Proverbs urges us to
Think carefully before expressing anger (12:16; 14:29; 19:11), to be patient (16:32), and to show restraint (29:11). Those who angrily oppose Jesus
Think that God is on their side (

Marriage - And I
Think it very plain, from the New Testament doctrine upon this subject, that from the very first order of things, even from the creation, the spiritual marriage and unity between Christ and his church was all along respected by the marriage-state, and uniformly intended to be shadowed forth. From the whole of which taken together, I
Think it is very plain, not only of the original design from the beginning, that every woman should have her own husband, and, every husband his own wife, but also that the married state was intended, in the most dear and tender manner, to set forth and display Christ's union with his church

Hour - ...
While I am upon this subject of the Jewish hours, I cannot forbear calling the reader's attention to one circumstance, which I
Think, now in the present day of the church, still equally interesting as it was of old always regarded, I mean the time of the evening sacrifice. Who was it but God the Holy Ghost, that caused the evening sacrifice, from the first moment of appointed sacrifices in the church to the glorious finishing of all sacrifices in the death of the Lord Jesus, thus minutely to correspond? And what a sacred hour that was all along considered in the divine mind, when not the sacrifice only, but the very hour of offering it was so scruptulously regarded!
Think then reader, how infinitely momentous must be the thing itself, when the mere shadow of the substance was so solemnly attended to; when through a period of more than fifteen hundred years the evening lamb was regularly sacrificed in the very hour which, in after ages, Christ, the Lamb of God, should offer himself in a sacrifice to God, to take away the sins of the world! Lord, I would say, for myself and reader, cause this hour of the afternoon, which was so sacred in the Jewish church, to be sacred to my soul also; and wherever I am, or however engaged, at the sounding bell at three in the afternoon, call my forgetful wandering thoughts to the hill of Calvary
Materialism - the doctrine which resolves the
Thinking principle in man, or the immaterial and immortal soul with which God was pleased to endue Adam at his creation, into mere matter, or into a faculty resulting from its organization. Much has been written of late years against this doctrine, and the different modifications which it has assumed: but in substance nothing new has been said on either side; and the able and condensed argument of Wollaston in his "Religion of Nature Delineated," if well considered, will furnish every one with a most clear and satisfactory refutation of this antiscriptural and irrational error:—The soul cannot be mere matter: for if it is, then either all matter must
Think; or the difference must arise from the different modification, magnitude, figure, or motion of some parcels of matter in respect of others; or a faculty of
Thinking must be superadded to some systems of it, which is not superadded to others. Why doth the scene of
Thinking lie in our heads, and all the ministers of sensation make their reports to something there, if all matter be apprehensive and cogitative? For in that case there would be as much thought and understanding in our heels, and every where else, as in our heads. If all matter be cogitative, then it must be so quatenus
matter, and
Thinking must be of the essence and definition of it; whereas by matter no more is meant than a substance extended and impenetrable to other matter. And since, for this reason, it cannot be necessary for matter to
Think, (because it may be matter without this property,) it cannot
Think as matter only; if it did, we should not only continue to
Think always, till the matter of which we consist is annihilated, and so the asserter of this doctrine would stumble upon immortality unawares; but we must also have thought always in time past, ever since that matter was in being; nor could there be any the least intermission of actual
Thinking; which does not appear to be our case. If
Thinking, self- consciousness, &c, were essential to matter, every part of it must have them; and then no system could have them. For a system of material parts, would be a system of things conscious, every one by itself of its own existence and individuality, and, consequently,
Thinking by itself; but there could be no one act of self-consciousness or thought common to the whole. ...
In the next place, the faculties of
Thinking, &c, cannot arise from the size, figure, texture, or motion of it; because bodies by the alteration of these only become greater or less, round or square, &c, rare or dense, translated from one place to another with this or that new direction or velocity, or the like; all which ideas are quite different from that of
Thinking; there can be no relation between them. These modifications and affections of matter are so far from being principles or causes of
Thinking and acting, that they are themselves but effects, proceeding from the action of some other matter or thing upon it, and are proofs of its passivity, deadness and utter incapacity of becoming cogitative: this is evident to sense. ...
They who can fancy that matter may come to live,
Think, and act spontaneously, by being reduced to a certain magnitude, or having its parts placed after a certain manner, or being invested with such a figure, or excited by such a particular motion; they, I say, would do well to discover to us that degree of fineness, that alteration in the situation of its parts, &c, at which matter may begin to find itself alive and cogitative; and which is the critical minute, that introduces these important properties. So then, in conclusion, if there is any such thing as matter that
Thinks, &c, this must be a particular privilege granted to it; that is, a faculty of
Thinking must be superadded to certain parts or parcels of it; which, by the way, must infer the existence of some being able to confer this faculty; who, when the ineptness of matter has been well considered, cannot appear to be less than omnipotent, or God. But the truth is, matter seems not to be capable of such improvement, of being made to
Think. ...
The accidents of matter are so far from being made by any power to produce cogitation, that some even of them show it incapable of having a faculty of
Thinking superadded. For that which is made to
Think must either be one part, or more parts joined together. And if the seat of cogitation be in more parts than one, whether they lie close together, or are loose, or in a state of fluidity, it is the same thing, how can it be avoided, but that either there must be so many several minds, or
Thinking substances, as there are parts, and then the consequence which has been mentioned would return upon us again; or else that there must be something else superadded for them to centre in, to unite their acts, and make their thoughts to be one? And then what can this be but some other substance, which is purely one?...
Matter by itself can never entertain abstracted and general ideas, such as many in our minds are. Therefore, to make mere matter do all this is to change the nature of it; to change death into life, incapacity of
Thinking into cogitativity, necessity into liberty. And to say that God may superadd a faculty of
Thinking, moving itself, &c, to matter, if by this be meant, that he may make matter to be the suppositum of these faculties, that substance in which they inhere, is the same in effect as to say, that God may superadd a faculty of
Thinking to incogitativity, of acting freely to necessity, and so on. ...
That faculty of
Thinking, so much talked of by some as superadded to certain systems of matter, fitly disposed, by virtue of God's omnipotence, though it be so called, must in reality amount to the same thing as another substance with the faculty of
Thinking. For a faculty of
Thinking alone will not make up the idea of a human soul, which is endued with many faculties; apprehending, reflecting, comparing, judging, making deductions and reasoning, willing, putting the body in motion, continuing the animal functions by its presence, and giving life; and therefore, whatever it is that is superadded, it must be something which is endued with all those other faculties. And whether that can be a faculty of
Thinking, and so these other faculties be only faculties of a faculty, or whether they must not all be rather the faculties of some substance, which, being by their own concession, superadded to matter, must be different from it, we leave the unprejudiced to determine. For I
Think it is plain enough, that the mind, though it acts under great limitations, doth, however, in many instances govern the body arbitrarily; and it is monstrous to suppose this governor to be nothing but some fit disposition or accident, superadded, of that matter which is governed. ...
For the foregoing reasons it is plain, that matter cannot
Think, cannot be made to
Think. But if a faculty of
Thinking can be superadded to a system of matter, without uniting an immaterial substance to it; yet a human body is not such a system, being plainly void of thought, and organized in such a manner as to transmit the impressions of sensible objects up to the brain, where the percipient, and that which reflects upon them, certainly resides; and therefore that which there apprehends,
Thinks, and wills, must be that system of matter to which a faculty of
Thinking is superadded. All the premises then well considered, judge whether, instead of saying that this inhabitant of our heads (the soul) is a system of matter to which a faculty of
Thinking is superadded, it might not be more reasonable to say, it is a
Thinking substance intimately united to some fine material vehicle, which has its residence in the brain. Though I understand not perfectly the manner how a cogitative and spiritual substance can be thus closely united to such a material vehicle, yet I can understand this union as well as how it can be united to the body in general, perhaps as how the particles of the body itself cohere together, and much better than how a
Thinking faculty can be superadded to matter; and beside, several phenomena may more easily be solved by this hypothesis; which, in short, is this, that the human soul is a cogitative substance united to a material vehicle; that these act in conjunction, that which affects the one affecting the other; that the soul is detained in the body till the habitation is spoiled, and their mutual tendency interrupted, by some hurt or disease, or by the decays and ruins of old age, or the like. Lawrence, after the French physiologists, represents it, that "medullary matter
Thinks. "...
Now it must certainly be referred from all these circumstances, that there is a close connection between the power of
Thinking and the brain; but it by no means follows, that they are, therefore, one and the same. How indeed the brain and the
Thinking principle are connected, and in what manner they mutually affect each other, is beyond the reach of our faculties to discover

Some suppose that this indicates an imperfection in the felicity of the saints for any addition to be made; but others

Thinking man, and one that had a clear head, and a great compass of thought,' and so on. ' Ahithophel's extraordinary and superhuman subtlety may honestly enough have led him to
Think that he saw in his counsel both prophecy, and policy, and payment back again into David's own bosom of all that David had done to other men, and to no man more than to Ahithophel himself. Why is he no longer here? Why is he where he now is?...
And, then, what did David
Think when Ahithophel's terrible end was told him? And what did Bathsheba
Think? Did she curse David to his face when it was told her what her grandfather had done to himself? Did Uriah's wife fling David's psalms in his face in her agony of horror and self-disgust? Did she scream in her sleep till all Jerusalem heard her as she saw in her sleep her grandfather's gallows at Giloh? Or was this prophecy fulfilled before it was spoken: In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, the house of David apart, and their wives apart, till there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David for sin and for uncleanness? And then did David go out to Giloh, and over the sepulchre of the suicide did David fall down and cry, past all consolation, O Ahithophel, the friend of my youth and my best counsellor, Ahithophel! Would God I had died for thee! O Ahithophel, mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance! If he did-then this would come in, The sacrifices of God are a broken heart. What did David
Think, and what did Bathsheba
Think? True. But what would you
Think if the first thing you saw tomorrow morning was the suicide of some one who has been the victim of your lust or your lies? Pray, man, pray
the Woman Who Took Leaven And Hid it in Three Measures of Meal - Now, what did He mean by that saying, do you suppose? What would you say was the leaven of the Pharisees? I do not know any more than you do, but I will tell you what I
Think. Now, you who are new beginners in morals and in religion-what
Think you is malice? For you cannot purge it out, nor keep it purged out, if you do not know it when you see it. A little of the leaven of pride-think it out, with home-coming illustrations, for yourself. A little of the leaven of anger-think it out, with home-coming illustrations, for yourself. A foul thought, a foul hint, a foul innuendo, a foul word, a foul image; a foul-mouthed boy in the playground; a foul-mouthed man in the workshop, in the office, in the bothy; a foul-mouthed woman in the workroom, in the kitchen, in the field; a foul book, a foul picture, a foul photograph in a shop-window in passing,-think it out, with a thousand illustrations taken from your own experience, and you will be wiser in this universal leaven of sensuality than all your teachers
Samaria - Some
Think, however, that there were before this some beginnings of a city in that place, because, antecedent to the reign of Omri, there is mention made of Samaria,
1 Kings 13:32 , A. The Cuthites that were sent by Esar-haddon to inhabit the country of Samaria did not
Think it worth their while to repair the ruined city: they dwelt at Shechem, which they made the capital city of their state. Richardson, "is extremely beautiful, and strong by nature; more so, I

Reckon, Reckoning - , if he was to be justified before God), the rectification could not be brought about by works of merit on his part; in
James 2:23 , RV, "reckoned," the subject is viewed from a different standpoint (see under JUSTIFICATION , B, last four paragraphs); for other instances of "reckoning" in this respect see
Romans 9:8 , RV , "are reckoned" (AV, "are counted");
2 Corinthians 5:19 , RV , "(not) reckoning (trespasses)," AV, "imputing;" (c) "to consider, calculate," translated "to reckon" in
Romans 6:11 ; 8:36 ;
2 Corinthians 10:11 , RV , "let (such a one) reckon (this)," RV (AV, "thinkest");

Heaven - It was natural to
Think of the heavens as concave above the earth, and resting on some foundation, possibly of pillars, set at the extreme horizon (
2 Samuel 22:9 ,
Proverbs 8:27-29 )
Quartus - It has been conjectured that Tertius and Quartus were brothers, but there is no ground for
Thinking so. It is, however, easier to believe that members of the Church at Corinth had friends in Ephesus, to which city some scholars
Think that the greetings were directed
Searching - But the Indicative seems in best accord with the immediate context (‘because ye
Think,’ ‘and these are they,’ ‘ye will not come to me’) (cf
Mother - madda, to secrete, eject or discharge a purulent substance and I
Think cannot have any direct connection with mud
Meat - Those Christians had to receive the simplest kind of teaching because they had not learned to
Think through the doctrines and the philosophies of the Word of GOD
Peter - We must not however totally pass by our improvements on the apostle's life and character, though we do not
Think it necessary to go over the history of this great man
Hold - ) To consider; to regard; to esteem; to account; to
Think; to judge
Dancing - DANCE, DANCING...
I
Think it not a little important, for every serious reader of the Bible, to have proper ideas of the Scripture meaning of dancing, and therefore it would have been wrong, in a work of this kind, to have passed it by
Mount - And if, as some
Think, that both these figures of the mountain of myrrh, and hill of frankincense, have peculiar reference to the mount Moriah, where Isaac was intentionally offered up a type of Christ, the figure is striking and just indeed
Interpreter - And though I would not go so far as to say, that the glorious Mediator of his people was prefigured in every use of it, yet I do venture to
Think it was peculiarly significant on this occasion amidst the brethren of Joseph
Artaxerxes - ...
The easterns
Think that the surname of Longimanus was given to Artaxerxes by reason of the extent of his dominions; as it is commonly said that princes have long hands: but the Greeks maintain that this prince had really longer hands or arms than usual; and that, when he stood upright, he could touch his knees
Mordecai - Some
Think the reason was, because Haman was an Amalekite; a people whom the Israelites had been commissioned from God to destroy, because of the injuries they had formerly done them,
Deuteronomy 25:17-19
Neomenia - They
Think it rather belongs to the women than to the men
Grasshopper - "But I presume," says Parkhurst, "this circumstance is not peculiar to any particular kind of locust: I should rather, therefore,
Think it denotes the cucullated species, so denominated by naturalists from the cucullus, ‘cowl' or ‘hood,' with which they are furnished, and which distinguishes them from the other kinds
Lot - It is folly to
Think of identifying the "pillar" with some one of the fleeting forms which the perishable rock of the south end of the Dead Sea is constantly assuming
School - I
Think, must have been derived from the Latin
Foot - This office was usually performed by servants and slaves; and hence Abigail answers David, who sought her in marriage, that she should
Think it an honor to wash the feet of the king's servants,
1 Samuel 25:41
People of the Land - Some scholars
Think the “people of the land” represented a particular influential element in society such as a national council, influential aristocrats, free citizens and property owners, landless poor, or non-Jerusalemites
Angel - Some
Think that the idea of God's not creating them before this world was made, is very contracted. ...
Some
Think envy, others unbelief; but most suppose it was pride
Jephtha - I shall beg to offer an observation or two upon the subject, and then leave the reader, under grace, to
Think for himself on this point. (See
Judges 11:34-40) But having now stated all I
Think necessary to state on the subject, I leave the reader to his own opinion, taught, as I pray he may be, by the grace of God, only adding one short observation: how blessed is the condition of God's Israel now, freed from vows and sacrifices, while looking to, and wholly depending upon that glorious, all-sufficient, all effectual offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all, "whereby he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified
Appear, Appearing - " ...
It is used of the "appearance" of Christ to the disciples,
Mark 16:9 ; of His future "appearing" in glory as the Son of Man, spoken of as a sign to the world,
Matthew 24:30 ; there the genitive is subjective, the sign being the "appearing" of Christ Himself; of Christ as the light,
John 1:5 ; of John the Baptist, 5:35; of the "appearing" of an angel of the Lord, either visibly,
Matthew 1:20 , or in a dream,
Matthew 2:13 ; of a star,
Matthew 2:7 ; of men who make an outward show,
Matthew 6:5 ; 6:18 (see the RV);
Matthew 23:27-28 ;
2 Corinthians 13:7 ; of tares,
Matthew 13:26 ; of a vapor,
James 4:14 ; of things physical in general,
Hebrews 11:3 ; used impersonally in
Matthew 9:33 , "it was never so seen;" also of what appears to the mind, and so in the sense of to
Think,
Mark 14:64 , or to seem,
Luke 24:11 (RV, "appeared"). See SEE , SEEM , SHINE ,

Nazareth - " Some, however,
Think that the name of the city must be connected with the name of the hill behind it, from which one of the finest prospects in Palestine is obtained, and accordingly they derive it from the Hebrew Notserah , i
Messianic Secret - Jesus forced the disciples to
Think about the secret until they could articulate the secret
si'na-i, - Some
Think that Horeb is the name of the whole range, and Sinai the name of a particular mountain; others, that Sinai is the range and Horeb the particular mountain; while Stanley suggests that the distinction is one of usage, and that both names are applied to the same place
Confession of Faith - Some
Think that all articles and confessions of faith should be expressed in the bare words of Scripture; but is replied, that this would have a tendency to make the ministry of the word useless; in a great measure cramp all religious conversation; and that the sentiments of one man could not be distinguished from another in some points of importance
Schoolmaster - ...
The Fathers liked to
Think of Christ Himself, the Incarnate Word, as the παιδαγωγός
Midian, Mtdianites - Perhaps, as some scholars
Think, this is a later version of the victory of Gideon. 3081)
Thinks that the name has survived from an old habitat of the Midianites
Love Feast - But there is no reason to
Think that the practice of a communal fellowship meal, conceived of as a normal aspect of church life or worship, could not have developed in the church addressed by Jude
Scriptures - "Search the Scriptures, (said that dear Lord) for in them ye
Think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me
Solomon - But oh, what a degradation of the subject is it thus to suppose! Oh, what indignity is thereby offered to the Lord Jesus Christ! I have said so much on this point in my Poor Man's Commentary on the Book of the Psalms, that I
Think it unnecessary in this place to enlarge; but I could not suffer the subject even in this little work, while speaking of Solomon, to pass by without remarking the great perversion of the Scripture to suppose that there is in those things the least reference to Solomon, king of Israel
Conscience - Doubtless he did it with an unoffending conscience, according as the Lord stated: "The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will
Think that he doeth God service
Rams Horns - But over and above this very obvious instruction, I venture to
Think that in the appointment of those horns there was somewhat in allusion to the Lord Jesus
Book (2) - There is no reason to
Think that St
Intercession of Christ - Christ appears before God with his own body; but whether he intercedes vocally or not cannot be known: though it is most probable, I
Think, that he does not: however, it is certain that he does not intercede in like manner as when on earth, with prostration of body, cries and tears, which would be quite inconsistent with his state of exaltation and glory; nor as supplicating an angry judge, for peace is made by the blood of the cross; nor as litigating a point in a court of judicature; but his intercession is carried on by showing himself as having done, as their surety, all that law and justice could require, by representing his blood and sacrifice as the ground of his people's acceptance with the Father,
Revelation 5:6
Divisions - This was followed by a stern letter which some
Think is preserved in 2 Corinthians 10-13; and finally, on receipt of the good news of their repentance, St
Hand - How sweet to this purpose are those Scriptures: "I know the thoughts I
Think towards you, saith the Lord; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
Elect -
Think what a glorious, blessed Almighty Lord the christian's Lord is! Well might the apostle Peter, under the deep impression of this sacred truth made upon his heart, cry out with holy rapture, "Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, grace unto you, and peace be multiplied
Ear-Rings - Harmer seems to
Think they properly signified ear-rings; but this is a mistake; the sacred writers use them promiscuously for the rings both of the nose and of the ears
Antinomians - Crisp in the seventeenth century are considered as highly favourable to Antinomianism, though he acknowledges that, "in respect of the rules of righteousness, or the matter of obedience, we are under the law still, or else," as he adds, "we are lawless, to live every man as seems good in his own eyes, which no true Christian dares so much as
Think of
Libertines - So that, upon the whole, there is little reason to doubt of the Libertines being so called from the place from whence they came; and the order of the names in the catalogue might lead us to
Think, that they were farther off from Jerusalem than Alexandria and Cyrenia, which will carry us to the proconsular province in Africa about Carthage
Baptists - They
Think that the order of public worship, which uniformly obtained in the Apostolic churches, is clearly set forth in
Acts 2:42-47 ; and therefore they endeavour to follow it out to the utmost of their power
Beard - As they would
Think it a grievous punishment to lose it, they carry things so far as to beg for the sake of it: "By your beard, by the life of your beard, God preserve your blessed beard
Beat - 8, STRETCH,
Think, No
Fish - Boothroyd, in the note upon
Numbers 11:4 , says, "I am inclined to
Think that the word בשד , here rendered flesh, denotes only the flesh of fish, as it certainly does in
Leviticus 11:11 ; and indeed the next verse seems to support this explication: ‘We remember how freely we ate fish
Wine - The wines from the vineyards on that mount are even to this day in repute; but some
Think that this may mean a sweet-scented wine, or wine flavoured with fragrant gums
Moloch - Some believe that Moloch was the same as Saturn, to whom it is well known that human sacrifices were offered; others
Think it was the same with Mercury; others, Venus; others, Mars, or Mithra
Coney - ' Now this, I
Think, very obviously fixes the ashkoko to be the saphan; for his weakness seems to allude to his feet, and how inadequate these are to dig holes in the rock, where yet, however, he lodges
Wind -
Think not with wind or airy threats to awe
Understand, Understood - ...
A — 2: νοέω (Strong's #3539 — Verb — noeo — noy-eh'-o ) "to perceive with the mind," as distinct from perception by feeling, is so used in
Matthew 15:17 , AV, "understand," RV, "perceive;"
Matthew 16:9,11 ; 24:15 (here rather perhaps in the sense of considering) and parallels in Mark (not in Luke);
John 12:40 ;
Romans 1:20 ;
1 Timothy 1:7 ;
Hebrews 11:3 ; in
Ephesians 3:4 , AV, "may understand" (RV, "can perceive");
Ephesians 3:20 , "think;"
2 Timothy 2:7 , "consider," See CONSIDER , No
Lot - Nay, I am quite sure, when I
Think of it, that it must have been.
Think, fathers; oh,
Think, mothers;
Think, young men, also, with so much at stake-think what the temptations and the dangers and the almost sure issues of this and that choice in life must be
Tares - As to
Matthew 13:25, it is not at all necessary to
Think that this was a common method of revenge in Jesus’ day and country.
Matthew 13:27 and the following verse show that the idea of wheat degenerating into darnel is foreign to the parable; the servants
Think of mixed seed, the master of an independent sowing of darnel. No one who knew anything about farming would
Think of removing the darnel at that juncture. Holtzmann and Pfleiderer
Think that the Evangelist has worked over and added new traits to
Mark 4:26 ff. Weiss
Thinks that the idea of gradual development is not in this or its sister parables
the Samaritan Who Shewed Mercy - This, kept in view, will account for the author's ascribing to an over-ruling Providence many incidents, which some may
Think might be resolved into natural causes. What do you
Think would be the thoughts of the half-dead Jew as he saw his own temple-kinsmen passing by on the other side, and then saw this dog of a Samaritan leaping off his mule? What would he
Think and say all night as he saw this excommunicated Samaritan lighting the candle to pour oil and wine into his wounds and watching all night at his bedside? That Samaritan mule hobbling down the Jericho-pass with that half-dead burden on its back always reminds me of Samuel Johnson hobbling along to Bolt Court with the half-dead streetwalker on his back and laying her down on old Mrs. ...
And now, my brethren, is it not a cause of the profoundest praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God that peace has come, and that there is not a man on the face of the whole earth that we any more wish to see wounded and half-dead? And must it not be a sweet thing to our King to
Think about on his bed, and to all his Royal House, that he has no enemy now to his throne and sceptre and crown in all the wide world
Divination - -Primitive man, under the influence of animatism and animism, came to
Think of himself as surrounded by in numerable spirits. -If we
Think of the above three methods of communication between the divinities and men as existing, in embryo, in the earliest ages, we can realize how they were each developed by such great races as the Semites and the Aryans, and how the common inheritance of each of thesis was developed along distinctive lines by the different nations springing from them. ’ Nor must we
Think that the Christians stood far removed from the common beliefs of the age.
Think of their belief in the Satan, the antagonist who stood over against God
Desire, Desirous - ...
B — 1: ἀξιόω (Strong's #515 — Verb — axioo — ax-ee-o'-o ) "to deem worthy," is translated "desire" in
Acts 28:22 , where a suitable rendering would be "We
Think it meet (or good) to hear of thee;" so in
Acts 15:38 . See
Think
Vain - Our Lord gives the interpretation of the word in the clause following, ‘For they
Think that they shall be heard for their πολυλογία. Wilson’s ‘Maxims of Piety’: ‘The eloquence of prayer consists in our proposing our wants to God in a plain manner’ (Maxims, 132), and still better by Hooker in the words, ‘The thing which God doth regard is how virtuous our minds are, and not how copious our tongues in prayer; how well we
Think, and not how long we talk, when we come to present our supplications before Him’ (Eccles
Veil - VAIL or VEIL...
I
Think it right to stop at this word, because we meet with it very often in the Scripture, though it is to be lamented that our little acquaintance with the customs of the people of the East, makes us lose numberless beauties in the sacred volume, when we meet with expressions of a local nature, for want of being acquainted with their manners and customs. Reader,
Think what a glorious object will that day, that wonderful day, open to the soul, when Jesus, removing the last vail of death, shall appear in all his beauty to take home his redeemed to himself, and when they, awakening up after his likeness, shall be fully and eternally satisfied with his presence for ever
Spitting - (
Hebrews 12:2)...
I do not presume to speak decidedly upon a subject so infinitely great, and wrapped up as it is in mystery; but I confess that I am inclined to
Think that no small part of the glory of Christ's work in redemption consisted in the humiliation of the Son of God in the accomplishment of it.
Think often of him who hid not his face from shame and spitting; and in the moment of such views of his unequalled shame and ignominy, recollect that when JEHOVAH brought in this first-begotten into the world, he said, "Let all the angels of God worship him
Ham - For Ham could neither feed those brute beasts, nor bed them, nor look at them, nor
Think about them without sin. Newman, 'the inconceivable evil of sensuality!' 'If you once begin to
Think about forbidden things, says Cicero, 'you will never be able to
Think about anything else. Let us
Think of Noah as a preacher of righteousness; as the builder of the ark; as elected, protected, and delivered by God; and as, with all his falls, all the time in God's sure covenant of peace, and under God's rainbow and God's oath. I shall always after this
Think of Shem and Japheth as Paul's Old Testament forerunners in that excellent, beautiful, and noble character
Inspiration - I
Think, for example, that the evangelists could not have written the history of Christ if they had not enjoyed miraculous aid. ...
This account of the inspiration of the Scriptures has, I
Think, these two recommendations: that there is no part of Scriptures which does not fall under one or other of the foregoing heads; and that the different degrees of the agency of the Divine Spirit on the minds of the different writers are carefully discriminated. Some
Think, that in the choice of words they were left to their own discretion, and that the language is human, though the matter be divine; while others believe, that in their expressions, as well as in their sentiments, they were under the infallible direction of the Spirit. "Every man who hath attended to the operations of his own mind, knows that we
Think in words, or that, when we form a train or combination of ideas, we clothe them with words; and that the ideas which are not thus clothed, are indistinct and confused. ...
Let a man try to
Think upon any subject, moral or religious, without the aid of language, and he will either experience a total cessation of thought, or, as this seems impossible, at least while we are awake, he will feel himself constrained, notwithstanding his utmost endeavours, to have recourse to words as the instrument of his mental operations
Hymn - Most Bible students
Think they sang part of Psalm 115-118 , hymns known as the Hallel, which traditionally were sung after supper on the night of Passover
Please, Pleasing, Well-Pleasing, Pleasure - ...
A — 3: εὐδοκέω (Strong's #2106 — Verb — eudokeo — yoo-dok-eh'-o ) signifies (a) "to be well pleased, to
Think it good"
, not merely an understanding of what is right and good as in dokeo, but stressing the willingness and freedom of an intention or resolve regarding what is good, e
Tent, Tent-Making - It is permissible to
Think that this cilicium, as it was called, passed as an article of commerce in the form of a web of stated dimensions, which would require adjustment before it could be used for particular purposes
Queen (2) - Others
Think that, having spoken of the Ninevites to whom without any seeking of theirs a preaching of repentance was brought, He refers, to complete the warning, to one who was herself a spontaneous seeker of wisdom
Darkness - The Septuagint, our translation of the Bible, and indeed most others, in explaining Moses's account of this darkness, render it "a darkness which may be felt;" and the Vulgate has it, "palpable darkness;" that is, a darkness consisting of black vapors and exhalations, so condensed that they might be perceived by the organs of feeling or seeing; but some commentators
Think that this is carrying the sense too far, since, in such a medium as this, mankind could not live an hour, much less for the space of three days, as the Egyptians are said to have done, during the time this darkness lasted; and, therefore, they imagine that instead of a darkness that may be felt, the Hebrew phrase may signify a darkness wherein men went groping and feeling about for every thing they wanted
Torch - Probably we are to
Think in them of a lamp borne on a pole, and therefore bearing some resemblance to a torch, or of a torch fed with oil in some way from time to time
Works - ...
Some people
Think that Paul and James contradict each other in their teachings about works
Circumcision - This rite, practised before, as some
Think, by divers races, was appointed by God to be the special badge of his chosen people, an abiding sign of their consecration to him
Honest - (4) σεμνά; ‘whatsoever things are honest (Authorized Version ; ‘honourable,’ Revised Version ) …
Think on these things’ (
Philippians 4:8)
Burden - As an example, we may
Think of the father and mother who have an afflicted child
Towel - Did Jesus, I would, methinks, have every poor sinner say, did Jesus not
Think it unbecoming of him then to wash poor fishermen's feet? And will he reject the humble cries of poor sinners now? Yea, will he not delight to receive them? Is he not become more glorious to our view, from becoming so gracious to our need? Precious Lord, I would say for myself and reader, give each of us grace to be everlastingly beholding thee into his most lovely portrait girded with thy towel; and the lower thou comest down to suit the wants of our souls, be thou the higher exalted in our hearts, and live and reign there for ever!...
Aphraat (Aphrahat, Farhad - This was a distinct loss to the fullness of Christian thought, and a misfortune to the Syriac church itself, in that it soon shewed itself unable to
Think on Greek lines, so that schisms resulted that endure to this day
Corn - And these lessons from the corn in the records of the Lord’s ministry may be greatly extended as we recall what He said about the sowing of the corn (parable of the Sower) and its reaping (the Tares and the Wheat); how He saw in the white fields a vision of a great spiritual harvest only waiting to be gathered (
John 4:35); how at Capernaum He turned the people’s minds from the barley bread of the previous day’s miracle to
Think of Himself as the Bread of Life (John 6); and said of the broken loaf at the Last Supper, ‘Take, eat, this is my body
Anger - To suppress this passion the following reflections of arch-deacon Paley, may not be unsuitable: "We should consider the possibility of mistaking the motives from which the conduct that offends us proceeded; how often our offences have been the effect of inadvertency, when they were construed into indications of malice; the inducement which prompted our adversary to act as he did, and how powerfully the same inducement has, at one time or other, operated upon ourselves; that he is suffering, perhaps, under a contrition, which he is ashamed or wants opportunity to confess; and how ungenerous it is to triumph by coldness or insult over a spirit already humbled in secret; that the returns of kindness are sweet, and that there is neither honor, nor virtue, nor use, in resisting them; for some persons
Think themselves bound to cherish and keep alive their indignation, when they find it dying away of itself
Bartholomew - A person with
Isaiah 9:1 in his mind, and convinced that rich blessings would come from Galilee, might nevertheless
Think that Nazareth was not a likely place to be the dwelling-place of the Messiah
Affection - It is also distinguishable from passion, which, depending on the real or ideal presence of its object, vanishes with its object; whereas affection is a lasting connection, and, like other connections, subsists, even when we do not
Think of the objects
Cloud - I
Think the particularity of it, and the blessedness of it, demands the attention of the church in all ages
Blasphemy - I
Think it proper to stop at this word, as the sense and meaning of it is not so generally understood as it were to be wished; and many of God's dear children, it is to be apprehended, have their minds much exercised about it, fearing they have committed the unpardonable sin, in blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
Morning - Surely no figure comes up to our Lord Jesus with an exactness more full and complete than the beautiful one the Holy Ghost hath given by his servant David, "he shall be as the light of the morning when the sun riseth, eveen a morning without clouds!"...
Think of Jesus under this sweet figure, I beseech you, reader; yea, never lose sight of him if possible
Cerdo, Gnostic Teacher - He describes him as more than once coming to the church and making public confession, and so going on, now teaching his doctrine in secret, now again making public confession, now convicted in respect of his evil teaching, and removed, or, as some
Think, voluntarily withdrawing himself, from the communion of the brethren (ἀφιστάμενος τῆς τῶν ἀδελφῶν συνοδίας )
Christ - As to the use of the term in the New Testament, were we to judge by the common version, or even by most versions into modern tongues, we should receive it rather as a proper name, than an appellative, or name of office, and should
Think of it only as our Lord's surname
Acts of the Apostles - This latter opinion rests upon the subscriptions at the end of some Greek manuscripts, and of the copies of the Syriac version; but the best critics
Think, that these subscriptions, which are also affixed to other books of the New Testament, deserve but little weight; and in this case they are not supported by any ancient authority
Samaria - ...
The following is the account of the modern city, as given by Richardson: "Its situation is extremely beautiful and strong by nature; more so, I
Think, than Jerusalem
Manna - ...
When manna was first sent the Israelites "knew not what it was," and "said one to another", MAN-HU, which means, What is it? Most interpreters
Think that form the frequent repetition of this inquiry the name MAN or manna arose
ma'gi - " It is with such men that, we have to
Think of Daniel and his fellow exiles as associated
Pipe Flute - ...
When we attempt to describe these flutes, we must not
Think of the modern keyed flute introduced by Theodore Bcehm, but of something much more primitive
Fellowship - Those who
Think they can sin as they please and still have fellowship with God are deceiving themselves
Leontius, Bishop of Antioch - Yet we may charitably
Think that the gentleness and love of peace which all attest were not mere hypocrisy, and may impute his toleration of heretics to no worse cause than insufficient appreciation of the serious issues involved
Maximus, an Ecclesiastical Writer - But there seems increasing reason to
Think that Eusebius erroneously attributed to Maximus the work of Methodius: see Zahn in Zeitschr
Simon Magus - Nay, I
Think it but fair to Simon Magus to say that he had completely deceived himself as well as Philip. I
Think so. I am bound in charity to
Think so. "I am not of their mind," he says, "who
Think that Simon Magus made only a semblance of religion
Roman Catholics - " Penance is a sacrament in which the sins we commit after baptism, duly repented of, and confessed to a priest, are forgiven; and which they
Think was instituted by Christ himself when he breathed upon his Apostles after his resurrection, and said, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins ye remit, are remitted; and whose sins ye retain, are retained,"
John 20:23 . That marriage is a sacrament, they
Think evident from
Ephesians 5:32 : "This is a great mystery," representing the mystical union of Christ and his church. " Notwithstanding this, they enjoin celibacy upon the clergy, because they do not
Think it proper that those who, by their office and function, ought to be wholly devoted to God, should be diverted from those duties by the distractions of a married life,
1 Corinthians 7:32-33 . This sacrifice of the mass was, they
Think, predicted by the Prophet Malachi,
Malachi 1:11 , who says, "In every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering
Judgment, Day of - On both occasions he warned that the people of Capernaum should not
Think of heaven as their final destination; that would rather be Hades. When we
Think of the reality and the seriousness of judgment day we must be on our guard against holding that our final salvation is to be decided on the basis of merit. We are not to
Think that it is only when they explicitly reject the gospel that they are condemned
the Woman With the Issue of Blood - Never mind the people in the same seat staring at you, and
Thinking you are mad. Now, why was it, did you ever
Think, that when our Lord healed so thoroughly this woman's sick body, He did not in an equally immediate, and in an equally thorough way, heal her far more sick soul? Why did He stop short at her blood? Why did He not work a far better cure on her sin? Was it because she was not sick of sin? Was it because she had not come, with all those twelve years, to know the plague of her own heart? Or was it because He did not come the first time to this world with a full salvation? Or was it, and is it, because sin is such a mystery of iniquity that it takes not only both His first and His second comings to heal our souls of sin; but long time, and great labour, and great pain, and great faith, and great prayer on our part also, before even His Divine power can perform and pronounce a perfect cure? Yes, that is it. Give reins to your imagination and
Think,-all sin for ever gone!
Think of that! All sin gone clean out of your sinful heart for ever! I cannot believe it possible
Iniquity - No generation, however, was to
Think that it bore God’s judgment for the “iniquity” of another generation: “Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The wicked work, speak, beget,
Think, devise, gather, reap, and plow 'âven, and it is revealed (“comes forth”) by the misfortune that comes upon the righteous
Ordination - They farther
Think it strange, that the validity of orders and ministrations should be derived, as some have contended, from a succession of popish bishops; bishops of a church, which, by the definition of the nineteenth article of the church, can be no part of the true visible church of Christ, and bishops, likewise, who consider the Protestant clergy, although ordained by Protestant bishops, as mere common unconsecrated laymen. Watts, that since there are some texts in the New Testament, wherein single persons, either Apostles, as Paul and Barnabas, ordained ministers in the churches, or evangelists, as Timothy and Titus; and since other missions or ordinations are intimated to be performed by several persons, namely, prophets, teachers, elders, or a presbytery,
Acts 13:1 ;
1 Timothy 4:14 ; since there is sometimes mention made of the imposition of hands in the mission of a minister, and sometimes no mention is made of it; and since it is evident that in some cases popular ordinations are and must be valid without any bishop or elder,—I
Think none of these differences should be made a matter of violent contest among Christians; nor ought any words to be pronounced against each other by those of the episcopal, presbyterian, or independent way
Pharaoh - They both
Think about it; both in their own way. I
Think I will take what looks like God's word to me tonight. Stay up alone and set yourself to
Think what conceivable end God can have had in raising you up, and in filling your life so full of so many accumulated and aggravated sentences and respites of sentences? God tells us Himself for what purpose He raised up Pharaoh. What do you
Think, what do you suppose, God has raised you up for? Are you, do you
Think, would you believe, being sentenced and respited, sentenced and respited, and sentenced and respited again in order to show how far grace can go-your sin and God's grace? Who can tell, but that as Pharaoh stands to the end of time the proof of God's power, so you are to stand at the opposite pole as the proof of His long-suffering and super-abounding grace? Yes, that must be it in you
Good, Goodness - ...
It is nearly impossible to
Think about goodness in the abstract
Fasting - However light some
Think of religious fasting, it seems it has been practised by most nations from the remotest antiquity
Bread - The mistress of the house and even a king's daughter did not
Think baking beneath them (
2 Samuel 13:8)
Humility - Trench defines ‘humility’ as the esteeming of ourselves small, inasmuch as we are so; the
Thinking truly, and because truly, therefore lowlily, of ourselves. The exhortation of
Philippians 2:3 does not mean that every man ought to
Think that everybody else is better than himself in moral character, or in outward conduct, or in natural or inherited powers
Oaths - there was the fear that a demon might
Think his services were required)
Repetitions - —The word ‘repetitions’ is found in the Gospels only in the phrase ‘vain repetitions’ in
Matthew 6:7 ‘When ye pray (Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 ‘in praying’), use not vain repetitions, as the heathen (Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 ‘the Gentiles’) do: for they
Think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. What our Lord condemns is clearly verbosity, the unthinking use of many words, and perhaps also the formal, careless use of expressions which are in themselves appropriate
Milk - The skin is shaken for a little, when the process of fermentation speedily commences, and the milk is served ‘with that now gathered sourness which they
Think the more refreshing’ (Doughty, Arabia Deserta , i
Tribes, the Twelve - Though the ten tribes were dispersed, and as men
Think 'lost,' Paul spoke of the twelve tribes constantly serving God in his day; and James addressed the twelve tribes in his epistle
Lollards - A religious sect, differing in many points from the church of Rome, which arose in Germany about the beginning of the fourteenth century; so called, as many writers have imagined, from Walter Lollard, who began to dogmatize in 1315, and was burnt at Cologne; though others
Think that Lollard was no surname, but merely a term of reproach applied to all heretics who concealed the poison of error under the appearance of piety
Idolatry - Others
Think that angels were first worshipped
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 the reader against an error into which he may be apt to fall for want of due attention in this particular
Offer, Offering - ,
Matthew 8:4 ;
Mark 1:44 ;
Acts 7:42 ; 21:26 ;
Hebrews 5:1,3 ; 8:3 ; 9:7,9 ; 10:1,2,8,11 ; (c) of "offerings" previous to the Law,
Hebrews 11:4,17 (of Isaac by Abraham); (d) of gifts "offered" to Christ,
Matthew 2:11 , RV, "offered" (AV, "presented unto"); (e) of prayers "offered" by Christ,
Hebrews 5:7 ; (f) of the vinegar "offered" to Him in mockery by the soldiers at the cross,
Luke 23:36 ; (g) of the slaughter of disciples by persecutors, who
Think they are "offering" service to God,
John 16:2 , RV (AV, "doeth"); (h) of money "offered" by Simon the sorcerer,
Acts 8:18
Walk - Do you
Think Id walk in any plot? ...
5
Waste - He will never, I
Think, in the way of waste, attempt us again
Pavement - In the case of Pilate, it is possible that he would be disposed to imitate the procedure of the Emperor, or even that of a petty sovereign, but in this matter no record to such an effect has been found; and whilst the course would not be without danger, it is not easy to
Think that a locality would derive its name from being one of many places on which a movable pavement was once or occasionally laid
Procopius of Caesarea - The controversies of the church had done much to alienate him from doctrinal Christianity; and, though he does speak at times as if he had embraced some of its distinct tenets, it is hardly possible to
Think that he had done so in the sense of regarding them as an express revelation of divine truth to man
Symmachus, Bishop of Rome - Symmachus replied in a letter entitled "Apologetica adversus Anastasii imperatoris libellum famosum," and in strong and indignant language rebutted the charges against himself, and retorted that of heresy on the emperor; he accuses him of presuming on his temporal position to
Think to trample on St
the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans - When we speak of shame, in our shallow and superficial way we usually
Think of the shame of a naked body. When you next
Think you hear His knock, rise off your seat, rise off your bed even, and open the door.
Think to yourself that He is actually in the street, and is actually, and in the body, standing at your door
Paul's Blamelessness as a Minister - How then do we stand in this matter of blame and shame? And blame and shame or no, are we any wiser men, and any better men today because of those tumults? Or after all our lessons are we just as ready for another tumult, and as ill-prepared for it as ever we were? Are we just as ill-read, and as ill-natured, and as prejudiced, and as hot-headed, and as full of pride and self-importance, as ever we were? What do you
Think? What do you feel? What do you say? You must surely see now, as you look back, what a splendid school for Christian character, and for Christian conduct, all those tumults were fitted, and intended of God, to be to you. Well then, how do you
Think you have come out of those great years in those great and costly schools? Has your temper and your character come out of those terrible furnaces like gold tried in the fire? For all those tumults whatever you may have made of them, and they of you, they were all intended to be but means to a far greater end than their own end. ...
Now, you may well
Think that Paul has left nothing at all for you tonight, but for ministers only. Is it possible I should desire any one to speak any good of me, or to
Think it, when so many ill things were thought and spoken of Thee! What is this, Lord what do we imagine to get by pleasing worms, or by being praised by creeping things! What about being blamed by all men, if only we stand at last blameless before Thee!"...
Go - I
Think, as the world goes,he was a good sort of man enough. To
Think over to proceed or pass in mental operation
Joshua, the Book of - Some Bible students
Think Joshua wrote the book except for the death reports (
Joshua 24:29-33 ); but the book gives no indication that Joshua had anything to do with writing the whole book, though he did write the laws on which the covenant renewal was based (
Joshua 11:1-1241 ). Other Bible students
Think the Book of Joshua only reached its present form when the Former Prophets were collected together during the Exile
Manifestation - This, we
Think, is singular, and certainly one of the marks of the truthfulness of the narrative. Not, however, that we are to
Think of them as entirely, subjective
Communion - Paul perhaps
Think of the blood as some transfigured heavenly substance? And what does the body of Christ mean? Is it the material body, which Jesus wore on earth, and which hung on the cross, or the immaterial body of the heavenly Lord? Or, again, is it the spiritual body, whose head is Christ, i. Now the question is: Is it the common supper which constitutes the communion, or are we to
Think of the particular elements, bread and wine, as producing the communion? We shall try to find an answer by noting some analogies from the comparative history of religions
Zechariah, Book of - Since the chapters differ in style and contents from both Jeremiah and Zechariah, some scholars
Think they were prophecies from an unknown prophet either from the time of the Persian Empire (down to 332) or the Greek Empire. Others
Think they are the later work of Zechariah
Judgment, Last - ...
They also
Think, that the justice of the proceedings of that day requires it, since it is presumed and known by the whole world that they were prone to sin, as well as others; and, before conversion, as great sinners as any, and after it their sins had a peculiar aggravation. Others
Think it will be on the earth, on the new earth, on which they will descend from the air with Christ
Unitarians - Priestly refers us to the "Theological Repository," "in which," he says, "I
Think I have shown that the Apostle Paul often reasons inconclusively; and, therefore, that he wrote as any other person of his turn of mind or
Thinking, and in his situation, would have written, without any particular inspiration. Facts, such as I
Think I have there alleged, are stubborn things, and all hypotheses must be accommodated to them
Matthew - Being early called to the apostleship, he was an eye-witness and an ear- witness of most of the things which he relates; and though I do not
Think it was the scope of any of these historians to adjust their narratives to the precise order of time wherein the events happened, there are some circumstances which incline me to

Christ, Miracles of - This general statement has made some commentators

Miracles of Christ - This general statement has made some commentators

Jonah - , though many Bible students
Think the book came from about 750 B
Targum - As to the Old Testament, they serve to vindicate the genuineness of the present Hebrew text, by proving it to be the same that was in use when these Targums were made; contrary to the opinion of those who
Think the Jews corrupted it after our Saviour's time
Border - ...
Some
Think that behind this law was an ancient Semitic custom with superstitious and magical associations, which, however, was impressed with a new significance by the Hebrew legislation
Lord's Name Taken in Vain - " It offends against politeness and good breeding, for these who commit it little
Think of the pain they are inflicting of the sober mind, which is deeply wounded when it hears the holy name it loves dishonoured; and it is as contrary to good breeding to give pain, as it is to true piety to be profane
Proverbs - In reading Proverbs, it is better to stop and
Think about each unit of instruction than to read the book straight through as if it were a letter or narrative
Southcotters - Joanna gives those who profess belief in her mission, and will subscribe to the things revealed in her "WARNING, " a sealed written paper with her signature, and by which they are led to
Think they are sealed against the day of redemption, and that all those who are possessed of these seals will be signally honoured by the Messiah when he comes this spring
Parents - So, among the great, permitting their children to spend their time and their money as they please, indulging them in perpetual public diversion, and setting before them awful examples of gambling, indolence, blasphemy, drinking, and almost every other vice; what is this but ruining their children, and "bequeathing to posterity a nuisance?" But, while we would call upon parents to exercise their authority, it must not be understood that children are to be entirely at their disposal under all circumstances, especially when they begin to
Think for themselves
Decrees of God - This doctrine is the subject of one of the most perplexing controversies that has occurred among mankind; it is not, however, as some
Think, a novel doctrine
Ignorance (2) - To put the matter in another way, the truths of Natural Religion carry their own evidence with them, and those who worship the creature instead of the Creator, or who deny that there is a God, or who
Think that there is no essential difference between virtue and vice, wilfully blind themselves to the truth (cf
Reward (2) - We need not
Think to do without it, even while we pass on to higher motives and fuller conceptions of duty
Spiritual Gifts - In our day many people tend to
Think individualistically; it is easy to do this with reference to spiritual gifts
Mind -
Genesis 6:5 ‘every imagination of the thoughts of his heart’), psychological terms begin to be employed in the NT with more discrimination and precision, and ‘mind’ comes into use to denote the faculty of
Thinking, and especially the organ of moral consciousness; the fundamental Gr. φρονεῖν) is found in the transitive sense of ‘to
Think about,’ ‘to direct one’s mind to’ (
Romans 8:5, Philippians 3:16;
Philippians 3:19)
Herod the Great - He seemed to
Think her guilty and she was sacrificed to his jealousy; but as soon as his beautiful wife was slain he was filled with the deepest remorse
Lion - When I hear or see some awful effects of his devices, on the minds of my fellow creatures and fellow sinners; oh! how powerfully doth it teach me the blessed consequences of distinguishing grace! Doth he work his devilish purposes on others, and am I preserved from his snare? Doth he accomplish their destruction, and do I escape? Reader!
Think of this precious subject! How doth it exalt my Lord in the consciousness of preserving grace! And how doth it tend to humble my soul!'...
Aaron (2) - Christ’s priesthood was ‘after the order of Melchizedek’ (
Hebrews 6:20), eternal: His sacrifice was a spiritual one, offered once for all; it is impossible to
Think of the repetition on earth of that offering which ‘through (the) eternal Spirit’ (
Hebrews 9:14) our glorified High Priest presents continually in ‘a more perfect tabernacle’ (
Hebrews 9:11) in heaven itself, for us
Altar - ...
Idol1Ki18:26 (c) Here we may
Think of a false altar which is a type of the religious plans and schemes of men wherein they hope to appease the god of their imagination, and to obtain his favor even though what they are doing is not Scriptural
Bear - Some
Think to bear it by speaking a great word
Flock - The church of Jesus is so often spoken of in Scripture under the figure and similitude of a flock, that I could not
Think myself justified in passing it by unnoticed
Hypostatical Union - The Monothelites, an ancient sect, of whom a remnant is found in the neighbourhood of Mount Libanus, disclaim any connection with Eutyches, and agree with the Catholics in ascribing two natures to Christ; but they have received their name from their conceiving that Christ, being one person, can only have one will: whereas the Catholics, considering both natures as complete,
Think it essential to each to have a will, and say that every inconvenience which can be supposed to arise from two wills in one person, is removed by the perfect harmony between that will which belongs to the divine and that which belongs to the human nature of Christ
Jehoshaphat - Others
Think it lies between the walls of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives
Platonists - Campbell
Think it more probable that he took it from the Old Testament
Proselyte - " He also observes that "the term proselytes of the gate is derived from an expression frequent in the Old Testament; namely, ‘the stranger that is within thy gates;' but I
Think it evident that the strangers were those Gentiles who were permitted to live among the Jews under certain restrictions, and whom the Jews were forbidden ‘to vex or oppress,' so long as they live in a peaceable manner
Miracles - ) From the same conception of nature as a machine, we are apt to
Think of interferences with the ordinary course of nature as implying some imperfection in it
Nicopolis - Paul should sooner or later
Think of this splendid Graeco-Roman city and its neighbourhood as a field for evangelistic work
Lucianus, Priest of Antioch, Martyr - Some have thought that he cherished sentiments akin to those of Paulus himself, which were of a Sabellian character, while others
Think that in opposing Paulus he used expressions akin to Arianism (cf
Maximus, Bishop of Turin - This has led some to
Think that there were two bishops of this name, but the early date given by Gennadius seems irreconcilable with the many allusions to Nestorian doctrines in the homilies on the Nativity, and the general opinion is that he is wrong (Gennad
Eternity - )...
It is therefore inadequate to
Think of God’s eternity solely as everlasting existence
Baptism - An abstract, however, of the chief arguments, I
Think it my duty to present to the reader, in order that he may judge for himself, as to the subject. These positions, they
Think, are so clear from Scripture, and the history of the church, that they stand in need of but little argument to support them. As to the subject, they believe that qualified adults who have not been baptized before, are certainly proper subjects; but, then, they
Think also that infants are not to be excluded. As to the apostle's expression, "buried with him in baptism, " they
Think it has no force; and that it does not allude to any custom of dipping, any more than our baptismal crucifixion and death has any such reference
Philippians, Theology of - And yet Paul, whose mind is filled with thoughts of God, Christ, the Spirit, salvation, resurrection, and the new world to come, cannot write even the briefest of letters without
Thinking and writing theologically. Nevertheless the idea of salvation is present in his
Thinking all the way through as he shares his own life's history, describing by means of it the beguiling nature of sin and its devastating consequences. ...
He urges them to discipline their minds because he knows that how people
Think determines how they act, that thought governs conduct. And so he tells them to
Think about things that are true, to focus their minds on things that merit respect, to ponder things that are just, to reflect on things that are pure, to dwell on all those things that are lovely, amiable, attractive, winsome, to
Think long and hard about those things that are likely to draw people to the faith and help them grow in the faith (4:8). It is not enough for Christians to
Think lofty thoughts
the Importunate Widow - Among all your adversaries, who is it that drives you day and night to God, like this woman to the judge? Do you
Think that our Lord counts you up among His Father's elect? I
Think He does? I am sure He does, if your adversary that you cry to be revenged upon is sin. ...
There is a well-known system of medicine that, most paradoxically as one would

Creation - " At first, the cosmogonists contented themselves with reasoning on the traditional or historical accounts they had received; but it is irksome to be shackled by authority; and after they had acquired a smattering of knowledge, they began to
Think that they could point out a much better way of forming the world than that which had been transmitted to them by the consenting voice of antiquity. " There is so striking a coincidence between his account and that of Moses that one would almost
Think that he was translating from the first chapter of Genesis; and there can be no doubt that the Mosaic writings were well known at that time, both among the Greeks and Romans. ]'>[1] ...
We are therefore inclined to
Think that Ovid actually copied from the Bible; for he adopts the very order detailed by Moses
Take - This word seems to be allied to
Think, for we say, I
Think a thing to be so, or I take ...
it to be so. ...
To take for, to mistake to suppose or
Think one thing to be another
Principality Principalities - Abbott
Thinks that this applies also to
Colossians 1:16). Fritzsche and Meyer
Think that in Col. Paul (though Meyer
Thinks it is the right reading in Plato, Rep. ’ (2) It necessitates a change of subject, of which the context gives no intimation; in
Colossians 2:12-14 the subject is God the Father, and no one would
Think of changing it but for the difficulty of otherwise giving to ‘principalities and powers’ the meaning of evil angels. Others
Think that both terms mean evil angels, arguing that the good would not try to separate us from the love of God
Blasphemy - This cannot have been the case of all who disbelieved the mission of Jesus, and even decried his miracles; many of whom, we have reason to
Think, were afterward converted by the Apostles. Paul; and it may be laid down as certain, for the relief of those who may be tempted to
Think that they have committed the unpardonable sin, that their horror of it, and the trouble which the very apprehension causes them, are the sure proofs that they are mistaken
Doubt - Such an individual "should not
Think he will receive anything from the Lord" (v
Fall of Man - Infidels, however, have treated the account of the fall and its effects, with contempt, and considered the whole as absurd; but their objections to the manner have been ably answered by a variety of authors; and as to the effects, one would hardly
Think any body could deny
Pentateuch - Lastly, they
Think they observe certain strokes in the Pentateuch which can hardly agree with Moses, who was born and bred in Egypt; as what he says of the earthly paradise, of the rivers that watered it and ran through it; of the cities of Babylon, Erech, Resen, and Calmeh; of the gold of Pison; of the bdellium, of the stone of Sohem, or onyx stone, which was to be found in that country
Rich (And Forms) - ...
Matthew 19:23 (a) Those who hold themselves in high estimation and
Think themselves to be fit for Heaven without the robe of righteousness will find themselves deceived and shut outside the door of Heaven
Foreknowledge - Yet we should not
Think of this as some kind of fatalism or determinism
Godly, Godliness - He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who
Think that godliness is a means to financial gain" (
1 Timothy 6:3-5 )
Key - For the age with which we have to deal we must
Think of the key as a device by which one outside held command over the closed door
Loaf - We may
Think we just want three loaves, but the Lord may see that we need much more
Lamp - Others
Think that they represent the ministry of the church which gives out the light of the Gospel
Fig Tree - I should not
Think it necessary to notice this article in our Concordance, but for the occasion that offers thereby of making an observation on the fig tree which the Lord Jesus blighted near Bethany
Turtle - The Holy Ghost hath been pleased to say so much concerning this bird in his sacred word, that I
Think it a duty, as well as a pleasure, to enquire somewhat concerning a bird so particularly recommended to our notice
Sojourn, Dwell - Some scholars
Think this word is a proper name, a part of a place name
Alexandrians - Others (Wendt, Zöckler, Sanday, Knowling, Winer-Moulton)
Think that the first three classes or Jews had one synagogue and the last two another-an idea favoured by the τῶν … τῶν after τινες
Fathers - "Though we have appealed," he says, "to the churches of the first ages for new proofs of the truth of our doctrine, it is not that we
Think that the doctors of those times had more right to judge of our faith than those had that followed them; but it is because after a serious examination we have found, that, as for what concerns the common belief that is among us, they have believed and practised the same things without adding other opinions or superstitions that destroy them,—wherein they have acted conformably to their and our rule, THE WORD OF GOD: notwithstanding, it cannot be denied, but that they effectually fell into some wrong opinions, as that of the Millenaries and infant communion," &c
Breastplate - Some
Think they were two precious stones added to the other twelve, by the extraordinary lustre of which, God marked his approbation of a design, and, by their becoming dim, his disallowance of it; others, that these two words were written on a precious stone, or plate of gold, fixed in the breastplate; others, that the letters of the names of the tribes, were the Urim and Thummim; and that the letters by standing out, or by an extraordinary illumination, marked such words as contained the answer of God to him who consulted this oracle. Prideaux
Thinks the words chiefly denote the clearness of the oracles dictated to the high priest, though perhaps the lustre of the stones in his breastplate might represent this clearness
Asa - Concerning this year, however, there are difficulties; and some
Think that we should read the twenty-fifth, instead of the thirty-fifth; since Baasha, who made war on Asa, lived no longer than the twenty-sixth year of Asa,
1 Kings 16:8
Vine - Many are of opinion that wine was not unknown before the deluge; and that this patriarch only continued to cultivate the vine after that event, as he had done before it: but the fathers
Think that he knew not the force of wine, having never used it before, nor having ever seen any one use it
Pisidia - 204)
Think that he chose the steep pass leading from Attalia to Lake Ascania (Buldur Göl)
Will, Would - ...
A — 4: εὐδοκία (Strong's #2107 — Noun Feminine — eudokia — yoo-dok-ee'-ah ) (eu, "well," dokeo, "to
Think") is rendered "good will" in
Luke 2:14 , AV (see WELL PLEASED);
Philippians 1:15 : see DESIRE , PLEASURE , SEEM , WELL-PLEASING
Paradox - Brief and vivid statements are made without qualification or explanation; metaphors are used to arrest the attention and stimulate the imagination, rather than to give a definite picture of the truth; a contrast which will force the hearer to
Think for himself is preferred to an argument which he need only follow
Quakers - "Being thus persuaded that man, without the Spirit of Christ inwardly revealed, can do nothing to the glory of God, or to effect his own salvation, we
Think this influence especially necessary to the performance of the highest act of which the human mind is capable; even the worship of the Father of lights and of spirits, in spirit and in truth: therefore we consider as obstructions to pure worship, all forms which divert the attention of the mind from the secret One,
1 John 2:20 ;
1 John 2:27 . Yet, although true worship is not confined to time and place, we
Think it incumbent on Christians, to meet often together,
Hebrews 10:25 . We therefore
Think persecution, even in the smallest degree, unwarrantable. "In the practice of discipline, we
Think it indispensable that the order recommended by Christ himself be invariably observed,
Matthew 18:15-17 . "In this place it is proper to add, that, as we believe women may be rightly called to the work of the ministry, we also
Think that to them belongs a share in the support of our Christian discipline; and that some parts of it, wherein their own sex is concerned, devolve on them with peculiar propriety; accordingly they have monthly, quarterly, and yearly meetings of their own sex, held at the same time and in the same place with those of the men; but separately, and without the power of making rules; and it may be remarked, that, during the persecutions which in the last century occasioned the imprisonment of so many of the men, the care of the poor often fell on the women, and was by them satisfactorily administered
Eli - It is startling and terrible to
Think that the unparalleled catastrophe of Eli's awful end had its first and far-back roots in what is as much a virtue, surely, as a vice: his determination to do two men's work with his own hands. And I never hear them complaining of that, unless it is when they
Think of their children. ' Let me
Think. Well, I always
Think that Job was the very best father in all the Old Testament, while Eli was surely the very worst
Bason - ’...
We therefore
Think that the νιπτήρ was a jug or ewer, with a dish, sancer or basin, under it to catch the drippings, but that the stress of the word is not on this under-basin. We also
Think that it was kept chiefly in the house, and used for the many ‘hand-washings’ which the Jews practised (
Matthew 15:2, Mark 7:3 etc
Judgment - The circumstance of the present heavens and earth being treasured up and kept, ever since the first deluge, from all after deluges, in order to their being destroyed by fire at the day of judgment, shows, we
Think, that the Apostle is speaking of a real, and not of a metaphorical, destruction of the heavens and earth. Men may contrive to keep it from their thoughts, but they cannot
Think of it without fearful apprehensions of its consequences
Methodius - It is hard to get good sense by translating "pearls of the guest-chamber"; and with the knowledge we have that one of Methodius's dialogues was called Xeno, we are disposed to
Think that Xeno was one of the speakers in this dialogue, and that we are to translate "Xeno's pearls," i. In the extracts preserved the orthodox speaker addresses his Origenist interlocutor as ῶ Κένταυρε without the slightest air of uttering a sarcasm, so that we should be disposed to
Think that the name of the Origenist speaker in this dialogue was Centaurus
Pity - And while Himself manifesting forth pity towards men and inculcating the same feeling on His disciples, He also most clearly taught them to

How are men to
Think of that pitiful, gracious Saviour who in His own life was so sorely tried and afflicted? Now nowhere in the Gospels—nor indeed in any passage of the NT—is Christ presented to men as an object of pity. On the contrary, He said to the women, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me’ (
Luke 23:28); and to the disciple peter, ‘Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?’ (
Matthew 26:53)
the Man Who Cast Seed Into the Round And it Grew up he Knew Not How - Bruce, as I
Think, at his very best. For, as it is in so many of His sermons, and as it is in so many of His parables that illustrate His sermons, this fine parable has, as I
Think, its first fulfilment in our Lord Himself. You
Think you are something, but you will come to nothing
Image of God - People have the power to

Revelation - God may, for any thing we can certainly tell,

Deluge - ...
Others, supposing a sufficient fund of water in the sea or abyss,
Think that the shifting of the earth's centre of gravity drew after it the water out of the channel, and overwhelmed the several parts of the earth successively
Torah - The Jews began to

Luke 24:44 )

False Christs - For it is hard to

Atheist - What would the world
Think of a man that should advance such an opinion as this, and write a book for it? If they would do him right, they ought to look upon him as mad; but yet with a little more reason than any man can have to say, that the world was made by chance, or that the first men grew up out of the earth as plants do now
Earth - Let no one
Think that the earth is an independentself-contained mechanism, for “the Lord reigns” as He “sits on the vault of the earth” from where “He sends rain on the earth” (
Conscience - Conscience, then, cannot be considered as any thing else than the general principle of moral approbation or disapprobation applied to our own feelings or conduct, acting with increased energy from the knowledge which we have of our motives and actions, and from the deep interest which we take in whatever concerns ourselves; nor can we
Think that they have deserved well of morals or philosophy, who have attempted to deduce our notions of right and wrong from any one principle
Tithes - At this day, the Jews no longer pay any tithe; at least they do not
Think themselves obliged to do it, except it be those who are settled in the territory of Jerusalem, and the ancient Judea

Jude, the Epistle of - 70), some
Think Jude would have scarcely omitted allusion to an event which uprooted the whole Jewish polity
Junilius, Quaestor of the Sacred Palace - This is clearly incorrect with regard to several of them, and one is tempted to
Think ( pace Kihn) that Junilius himself added this reference to Jerome and did not find it in his Greek original. He
Thinks that Junilius probably met Paul of Nisibis there as early as 543
Canon - "I
Think," says he, "that those books which should have authority in religion were revealed by the Holy Spirit, and that men composed others by historical diligence, as the prophets did these by inspiration. That some parts of these histories were prepared by prophets, we have clear proof in one instance; for Isaiah has inserted in his prophecy several chapters which are contained in 2 Kings, and which, I
Think, there can be no doubt were originally written by himself. There is good reason to
Think that, if God saw it needful, and for the edification of the church, that such books should be written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, by his providence he would have taken care to preserve them from destruction. Paul here refers to the epistle to the Ephesians, which they
Think he sent to the Laodiceans, and that the present inscription is spurious
Philippians Epistle to the - Paul with a monetary gift (
Philippians 4:18), and his experience is described in the letter: ‘I
Think it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, your messenger and minister of my need. Does a careful study of the letter itself substantiate such a view? Is there anything in the letter itself (as Baur and others
Think) inconsistent with its own account of its origin and authorship?...
Before we can answer we must ask who were the recipients and what were their relations with the writer. We
Think of these words in their modem sense or in their 3rd cent. Is it possible, then, to
Think of two orders in a church like that of Philippi, in the lifetime of St

Think of them us having had at least a historical starting-point
Language of Christ - We may
Think we have good grounds for believing that they accurately represent His utterances; but to hear the original sounds we must recover, if that be possible, the Semitic vernacular which underlies the traditional Greek. Perhaps (to take another, and, as some
Think, crucial instance), the angel could not have saluted Mary in the native dialect with the famous alliteration Chaire kecharitômenç ; and yet the Evangelist may have recorded the ‘ Hail! highly favoured ’ in that form, influenced by the style of OT diction, in which play on words is a marked feature
Pope - On the demise of a pope his pontifical seal is immediately broken by the chamberlain, and all public business is interrupted that can be delayed; messengers are despatched to all the Catholic sovereigns to acquaint them of the event, that they may take what measures they
Think proper: and that the cardinals, in their dominions, if any there be, may hasten to the future election, if they choose to attend; whilst the whole attention of the sacred college is turned to the preservation of tranquillity in the city and state, and to the necessary preparations for the future election. They well know that, as a private doctor, he may fall into mistakes as well as any other man; but they
Think that, when he teaches the whole church, Providence must preserve him from error
Stone - For whenever Christian men
Think of the Lord’s sepulchre, they always see that great stone rolled back from the door, and the angel of the Resurrection sitting upon it (
Matthew 28:2 ||). ’ Thus He identified the rejected ‘Son’ of the parable with the rejected stone of the Psalm, and the wicked husbandmen with the scribes and Pharisees as the ‘builders’ of Israel’s theocratic edifice; but at the same time intimated to the latter that they must not
Think that by rejecting Him and putting Him to death they would be done with Him for ever
Paul's Visit to Jerusalem to See Peter -
Think of yourself as a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious. Would you have asked anything? How far would you go tonight to have an interview with Peter? Honestly, have you any curiosity at all about Jesus Christ, either as He is in heaven now, or as He was on earth then? Really and truly, do you ever
Think about Him, and imagine Him, and what He is saying and doing? Or are you like John Bunyan, who never thought whether there was a Christ or no? If you would tell me two or three of the questions you would have put to Peter, I would tell you in return just who and what you are; just how you stand tonight to Jesus Christ, and how He stands to you: and what He
Thinks and says about you, and intends toward you
Angel - They merely indicate that God employs the ministry of angels to deliver his people from affliction and danger, and that the angels do not
Think it below their dignity to minister even to children and to the least among Christ's disciples
Above And Below - And when we
Think of Christ’s Ascension into heaven, we must not conceive of it as a flight into some far-off region, but as His passing into a state of existence (of which we gain hints during the great forty days) which we can describe only by employing words which, in the very act of using them, we see to be utterly inadequate
Cross - )...
Jesus' sacred and lacerated body was raised aloft, the hands nailed to the transverse beam, the feet separately nailed to the lower part of the upright beam so as to be a foot or two above the ground (others

2 Samuel 8:17 ; 20:25 ;
1 Kings 4:3 ) We may
Think of them as the king's secretaries, writing his letters, drawing up his decrees, managing his finances
Seeing - ’ The most ordinary significance of the word ‘see’ is, of course, the natural one—to recognize by the act of vision ordinary external objects, as when the blind are described as seeing (
Matthew 15:31, John 9:7), or men are promised that they shall see the Son of Man, or when the disciples
Think they see a vision, or the multitude see the miracles of Jesus (
Mark 14:62, Luke 24:23, John 6:2)
Miletus - The trade of the Maeander Valley was diverted to Ephesus, and, before the coming of the Romans, Miletus, though still called a ‘metropolis’ of Ionia, had become a second-rate commercial town, which the conquerors did not
Think it necessary to link up to any important city by one of their great roads
Guest-Chamber - Some

Luke 2:7) was of this character, but others are of opinion that it was rather an inn under the care of a host, like the πανδοχεῖον of
Luke 10:34
Honour - words, in various forms, are thus translated: (1) δόξα, δοξάζειν, as in the phrases ‘by honour and dishonour’ (
2 Corinthians 6:8), and ‘one member be honoured’ (Revised Version margin ‘glorified,’
1 Corinthians 12:26); the words are derived from δοκεῖν, ‘to
Think,’ ‘hold an opinion,’ or ‘hold in repute or honour’; hence the noun has the significance of ‘good-repute,’ ‘honour,’ ‘glory’; (2) τιμή, τιμᾶν, τίμιος (from the root τίειν, ‘to pay a price’ and then ‘to pay honour’)
Jephthah - Those who urge the strict literal interpretation
Think these arguments inconclusive; and urge that Jephthah was a wild character in a rude period, and that there is not a particle of evidence that God approved his rash vow, or this part 'of his conduct

Paul the Aged - " What a man was Paul! If we did not know that this was Paul, we would certainly
Think that it was a Greater than even Paul. Where are those men then, who
Think that they have made so great progress that they do not need any more to persevere? Which of you will have the courage to compare yourself with the Apostle? Still more surely does this passage refute the folly of those fools who, despising books, and neglecting all study, boast of their spiritual inspiration. Do you ever forefancy your first meeting with Christ? How do you
Think He will look? How and where will you look? Rehearse the scene, and have your part ready
Paul as an Evangelical Mystic - Christ, then, that so mysterious Person who fills the Gospels and the Epistles with His wonderful words and works,-What
Think ye of Christ? Paul tells us in every epistle of his what he
Thinks of Christ, and it is this deep, spiritual, experimental, and only soul-saving, knowledge that Paul has of Christ, it is this that justifies us in calling him the first and the best of all mystics; the evangelical and true mystic: the only mystic indeed, worthy, for one moment, to bear that deep and noble name. And if God expresses it never so plainly and properly, he will still

Angel - Some Think this took place when our heavens and the earth were made. Others Think that angels existed long before the formation of our solar system; and Scripture seems to favour this opinion, Job 38:4 ; Job 38:7 , where God says, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?— and all the sons of God shouted for joy

Envy - If the Revised Version of
James 4:5 is correct, φθονέω has its usual evil sense, and this difficult passage means, ‘Do you
Think that God will implant in us a spirit of envy, the parent of strife and hate?’ But it may be better to translate, either, ‘For even unto jealous envy (‘bis zur Eifersucht’

Lucifer - Whether, hell from beneath is moved at the unawakened sinner's coming, or heaven from above opens her golden gates to receive the redeemed regenerated saint in Jesus, this Scripture, with others to the same amount, plainly testify that that
Thinking faculty, that immortal incorporeal part, which at death separates from the body, hastens into the world of spirits like its own, and exists in a state perfectly distinct from and unconnected with the body, and will so continue until the general resurrection. ...
And there is another thought connected with it, which gives solemnity to the former, and which this Scripture tends to prove, namely, that in that world of spirits they
Think and speak, have conversation and fellowship, with each other, as familiarly as we have with each other that are yet in the body. And hence, though they cease for ever from us, and we from them, in respect to farther communion; though as the Scripture saith, "Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not," (
Isaiah 63:16) yet the existence is made up of identity, consciousness, and unceasing
Thinking, and acting, and the most lively perception
Minister - Now, while ministers ought to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints, they must remember that men always will
Think different from each other; that prejudice of education has great influence; that difference of opinion as to non-essential things is not of such importance as to be a ground of dislike
Barabbas - And unless we are to suppose, on the ground of the possible etymology, ‘son of father’ = ‘son of teacher,’ and the ‘filius magistri eorum’ which Jerome quotes from the account of the incident in the Gospel of the Hebrews, that he was popular among the people because he was the son of a Rabbi, we have no reason to
Think that either the Jewish leaders or the multitude had any ground for preferring him to Jesus except their passionate hatred of the latter

Ethelbert, King of Kent - But since you are strangers who have come from afar, and, as I
Think I have observed, have desired to make us share in what you believe to be true and thoroughly good, we do not mean to hurt you, but rather shall take care to receive you with kindly hospitality, and to afford you what you need for your support; nor do we forbid you to win over to your faith, by preaching, as many as you can
Balaam - It cannot be denied that the Scripture expressly calls him a prophet,
2 Peter 2:15 , and therefore those are probably right who
Think that he had once been a good man and a true prophet, till, loving the wages of unrighteousness, and prostituting the honour of his office to covetousness, he apostatized from God, and, betaking himself to idolatrous practices, fell under the delusion of the devil, of whom he learned all his magical enchantments; though at this juncture, when the preservation of his people was concerned, it might be consistent with God's wisdom to appear to him and overrule his mind by the impulse of real revelations

Boyhood of Jesus - We
Think it probable, therefore, that the emphatic words of the sentence are οἱ γονεῖς. 247) argues that Joseph and Mary set out for home before the close of the Feast, because the Talmud says that ‘during Feasts’ (not after them) ‘the members of the Temple Sanhedrin came out on to the terrace and taught the people, contrary to the usual custom of sitting as a court of appeal,’ and he
Thinks that Christ was there. Luke’s words are therefore perhaps compatible with Joseph and Mary having left on the third day, the so-called half-holiday, when it was lawful to return home, but we prefer (in spite of Edersheim’s Talmudical argument) to
Think that they ‘stayed to the end’ of the Feast. We
Think that the reason for Joseph and Mary spending at least a day in Jerusalem before going up to the Temple, was that they and our Lord were well known to this group of persons, and that they thought of Him as possibly among friends at Jerusalem, just as they had thought it possible on the first day of the separation that He was among the pilgrims. Yet as in the later case there was nothing contrary to true manhood, so now we ought not to
Think of anything contrary to true boyhood
Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis - For I did not
Think that I could get so much profit from the contents of books as from the utterances of a living and abiding voice. But considering that there is a change of pronouns, we are disposed to
Think that there is an anacoluthon, and that his meaning, however ill expressed, was that he learned, by inquiry from others, things that Andrew, Peter, and others had said, and also stored up in his memory things which Aristion and John said in his own hearing. Lightfoot is probably right in
Thinking that the sarcasm in the phrase "those who have so very much to say" may have been aimed at the work on the Gospel by Basilides in 24 books, and some similar productions of the Gnostic schools of which the later book Pistis Sophia is a sample. There is a striking resemblance between the two as we have them at present; but Papias's description, it is said, would lead us to
Think of them as very different. Nor is there reason to
Think that when St. ) has given convincing reasons for
Thinking that Papias is his authority, a conclusion which Harnack accepts as highly probable
Calvinists - They
Think also that the greater part of these passages, being found in the epistolary writings, after the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, who was promised to guide the apostles into all truth, is an argument in favour of the doctrine. Some
Think Calvin, though right in the main, yet carried things too far; these are commonly known by the name of Moderate Calvinists. Others
Think he did not go far enough; and these are known by the name of High Calvinists
Solomon - If Solomon actually, and all of himself, made and offered that wonderful prayer, then when we
Think of it, he is more a mystery of perdition to us than ever. I can hold up my head better when I am opening a church and am reading and expounding this prayer, when I
Think of Nathan's pure and noble soul rather than of Solomon, who is so soon to be such a scandal and reprobation. ...
Our own Lord Bacon always comes to my mind when I

Paul as a Student - But there is one possibility in Saul's student days in Jerusalem that makes our hearts beat fast in our bosoms to
Think of it. ...
Now the first instruction, as I
Think, intended to us out of Saul's student days is this-that the finest minds in every generation should study for the Christian ministry. What in the world does he mean? Strange to say, and it is something for us all to
Think well about, he declares to us on every autobiographic page of his, that all the time he sat at Gamaliel's feet, and for many disastrous years after that, he was in the most absolute and woe-working ignorance of the law of God
Achan - Look how the hearts of those fathers and mothers who have sons in the army beat as if it were the last trump! Did you ever spend a night like that in Achan's tent? A friend of mine once slept in a room in a hotel in Glasgow through the wall from a man who made him
Think sometimes that a madman had got into the house. You

the Penitent Thief - The swiftness of the thief's repentance, and faith, and confession, and pardon, and sanctification, and glorification, is something very blessed for us all to
Think about, and never to forget; and, especially, those of us who must make haste and lose no more time if we are to be for ever with him and with his Lord in Paradise. I cannot but
Think that Paul will insist on giving place to this very prince and leader of all New Testament believers
Ordination - Some, however, on this side of the question, do not go so far as to say, that the essence of ordination lies in the choice of the people, but in the solemn and public separation to office by prayer: still, however, they
Think that ordination by either bishops, presbyters, or any superior character, cannot be necessary to make a minister or ordain a pastor in any particular church; for Jesus Christ, say they, would never leave the subsistence of his churches, or the efficacy of his word and sacraments, to depend on the uninterrupted succession of any office or officer: for then it would be impossible for any church to know whether they ever have had any authentic minister; for we could never be assured that such ordinations had been rightly transmitted through 1700 years. and
1 Timothy 4:14 ; since there is sometimes mention made of the imposition of hands in the mission of a minister, and sometimes no mention of it; and since it is evident that in some cases popular ordinations are and must be valid without any bishop or elder; I
Think none of these differences should be made a matter of violent contest among Christians; nor ought any words to be pronounced against each other by those of the episcopal, presbyterian, or independent way
Majesty (2) - His followers do not
Think of Him ‘according to the flesh’ (
2 Corinthians 5:16)—as the Prophet of Galilee or the Man of Sorrows. The Christ of whom they do habitually

Hermogenes (1), a Teacher of Heretical Doctrine - " There are indications that the work to which Tertullian replies was in Latin, and every reason to
Think that Hermogenes (though probably, as his name indicates, of Greek descent) was then living in Carthage, for Tertullian assails his private character, entering into details in a way which would not be intelligible unless both were inhabitants of the same city. Philaster, however, attributes to his heretics other doctrines which we have no reason to
Think were held by Hermogenes: that evil proceeded sometimes from God, sometimes from matter; that there was no visible Paradise; that water-baptism was not to be used, seeing that souls had been formed from wind and fire, and that the Baptist had said that Christ should baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire; that angels, not Christ, had created men's souls; that this world was the only "infernum," and that the only resurrection is that of the human race occurring daily in the procreation of children

Archbishop Whately
Thinks that the whole story of the building of the Tower of Babel, the confounding of the speech of the builders, and their consequent disruption and dispersion, north, south, east, and west, is a veiled history of a great outbreak of religious controversy in that early and eastern day. But, on the whole, he
Thinks it must have been some dispute connected with the worship of God. We cannot
Think, any more than we can speak or write, without words. And, since Behmen is so full and so good, as I
Think, on Babel, and since he himself has been so much the victim of Babel-more almost than any man I know-let me show you once more the kind of thing that has made me love him: and, almost to say of him, as Dr
Nazarene - and
Matthew 1:20-21) I do not
Think it necessary to insert in this place, at large, the law concerning Nazarites to God. (
Acts 22:8)...
From the whole then, I hope the reader will
Think with me, that God the Holy Ghost had all along a design, from the first dawn of revelation, with an eye to the Lord Jesus in this most important character; and to this end and purpose directed his servants' minds, Jacob and Moses, to point to this great Nazarite, by type and figure, in the separation of Joseph from his brethren
Eternity - It is to demand of us to

Mary Magdalene - " She never stops to

Burial - ...
Fine ranges of tombs, said to be of the kings, judges, and prophets, still remain near Jerusalem; but these, many

Chaldaea - Some
Think the seeming Hebraisms in it are remnants of an older form of the language than that found in the targums
Virtue - In
Philippians 4:8 (‘Whatsoever things are true … if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
Think on these things’) and in
2 Peter 1:5 (‘In your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge’) the reference is to a human attribute, and the sense is the ordinary classical one of moral excellence possibly coloured with its Septuagint meaning of ‘praiseworthiness
Church, Gallican - Some
Think that there was another cause of the revolution, and which may be traced as far back at least as the revocation of the edict of Nantz in the seventeenth century, when the great body of French Protestants who were men of principle, were either murdered or banished, and the rest in a manner silenced

Infallibility - For is it consistent with reason to
Think that God would have imparted so extraordinary a gift to prevent errors and dissensions in the church, and yet have left an additional cause or error and dissension, viz, the uncertainty of the place of its abode? No, surely...
Some place this infallibility in the pope or bishop of Rome; some in a general council; others in neither pope nor council separately, but in both conjointly; whilst others are said to place it in the church diffusive, or in all churches throughout the world

Think of the travelling comrades of the Apostle-of Barnabas and Silas, of Timothy and Mark, of Luke and Titus, of Priscilla and Aquila-to realize that, so far from being friendless, he enjoyed the richest resources of that relationship that were to be had in that age. In his letters he nearly always associates with himself one or more of his colleagues as joint authors, and those who have been named above were the ablest Christian
Thinkers and workers of the time
Aenon - 36) and others still

Andrew - Again, when we
Think of the Apostle in his more official aspect, it is sufficient to recall that he was not only the first home-missionary (
John 1:41), but also the first foreign-missionary (
John 12:22)—evidence, if evidence be wanted, of the close connexion between the two spheres of work
Conflagration - Philosophers contend for its being produced from natural causes; and will have it effected according to the laws of mechanics: some
Think an eruption of a central fire sufficient for the purpose; and add, that this may be occasioned several ways; namely, either by having its intensity increased, (which, again, may be effected either by being driven into less space by the encroachments of the superficial cold, or by an increase of the inflammability of the fuel whereon it is fed,) or by having the resistance of imprisoning earth weakened; which may happen either from the diminution of its matter, by the consumption of its central parts, or by weakening the cohesion of the constituent parts of the mass, by the excess or the defect of moisture
Hebrew Language - On the other hand, it has been maintained that Heber's family, in the fourth generation after the dispersion, lived in Chaldea, where Abraham was born,
Genesis 11:27-28 , and that there is no reason to
Think they used a different language from their neighbours around them
Moral Obligation - We
Think it a duty to support and cherish aged parents; many nations, on the contrary, abandon them as useless, and throw them to the beasts of the field
Mark - Lardner
Thinks that St. The following passage in Eusebius appears to contain so probable an account of the occasion of writing this Gospel, and comes supported by such high authority, that we
Think it right to transcribe it: "The lustre of piety so enlightened the minds of Peter's hearers at Rome, that they were not contented with the bare hearing and unwritten instruction of his divine preaching, but they earnestly requested St
Ravels - Forty days the violent rain had continued; and he might

Nile - Niebuhr justly remarks, "Some descriptions of Egypt would lead us to

Pha'Raoh, - One class of Egyptologists
Think that Amosis (Ahmes), the first sovereign of the eighteenth dynasty, is the Pharaoh of the oppression; but Brugsch and others identify him with Rameses II. , whom Brugsch
Thinks was probably the Pharaoh of the exodus, who with his army pursued the Israelites and were overwhelmed in the Red Sea

Creation - Modern science may at times cause people to
Think they are almost insignificant in relation to the size and complexity of the universe, but the Bible takes a different view
Fulfilment - We must lay down, in general, that the NT
Thinks of fulfilment as occurring in detailed mechanical correspondence with the letter of prediction. But what of
Matthew 5:17 (‘Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets; I came not to destroy but to fulfil’—πληρῶσαι)? (a) Much has been written on this subject since the present writer discussed the passage in Christ and the Jewish Law, 1886. It is ‘hard’ to
Think that our Lord ever exercised the supposed conscious detailed intellectual criticism of the OT as such (so the late A. ’ (c) When ‘fulfil’ is predicated of ‘prophecy,’ the sense is well known; the ‘prophets’ become the predominant partner in such a juxtaposition as ‘to fulfil law and prophets’; and we have to
Think of the OT’s moral lawgiving as a sort of type, fulfilled, when the word of the prophets is fulfilled, in Christ’s person
Heaven - But we can see that his
Thinking on this point tends in the direction of a spiritualization of the whole conception of heaven. In
Thinking of it as laid up or reserved in heaven, St. For example, the Rabbinical tradition could
Think of the Law, the Temple, and other central ideas of Judaism as laid up with God before the creation of the world. Possibly, also, he so takes it for granted that believers will have their place in a Messianic earthly kingdom that he does not
Think it necessary to mention it. The spiritual and the symbolic are so subtly blended that it is hard to
Think that the writer is the slave of his symbols
Prayer (2) - Nathanael’s fig-tree (
John 1:48) and Gethsemane (
Matthew 26:36, Mark 14:32) lead us to
Think of gardens as places of retirement for prayer. If, however, as some
Think, there was only one occasion on which this was done, then St. Our petitions must have a worthy meaning, and we must
Think of the meaning
Prayer - To which some add invocation, a making mention of one or more of the names of God; pleading, arguing our case with God in an humble and fervent manner; dedication, or surrendering ourselves to God; deprecation, by which we desire that evils may be averted; blessing, in which we express our joy in God, and gratitude for his mercies: but, as all these appear to me to be included in the first five parts of prayer, I
Think they need not be insisted on. We must not
Think it absolutely necessary to insist upon all the parts of prayer in every address to God; though in our stated and solemn prayers there are but few of them that can be well left out. The eye should be kept from roving, and some
Think it best to keep the eyes closed. If we use ourselves to various motions, or noise made by the hands or feet, or any other parts, it will tempt others to
Think that our minds are not very intensely engaged; or, at least, it will appear so familiar and irreverent, as we would not willingly be guilty of in the presence of our superiors here on earth
Chronology of the New Testament - )
Think that any age from 28 to 32 would suit; but Ramsay, who remarks that St. Luke’s authority for his early chapters was clearly a very good one, and that he could not have been ignorant of the real age,
Thinks that the phrase must mean 30 plus or minus a few months. There seems to be some doubt as to the age when a Levite began his ministry at this time, as the age had varied; but we may follow Irenæus in
Thinking that 30 was the full age when a public teacher began his work. ) are inclined to
Think that in this respect he may to a very limited extent be right
Jonah - As he sulks in a booth outside the city, waiting to see the issue, a remarkable series of experiences is arranged for his instruction (
Jonah 4:5-8 ): the shooting up of a castor-oil plant (or, as some
Think, a bottle-gourd) appointed by Jahweh, which delights him by its welcome shade; the killing of the plant by a worm, also appointed by Jahweh; and the springing up of a hot wind which also blows by Divine appointment, so that the now unshaded prophet is so tormented by the heat, that, like Elijah (
1 Kings 19:4 ), he longs for death. There are several indications of Aramaic influence: sephînâh ‘ship’ a word common to Aramaic and Arabic, found here only in the OT; shâthaq ‘be calm’; ta‘am ‘decree’; hith‘ashshçth in the sense of ‘think’; minnâh ‘prepare,’ ‘appoint,’ etc
Session - Harnack indeed
Thinks that in some of the oldest accounts the resurrection and the sitting at the right hand of God are taken as parts of the same act, without mention of any ascension. 727),
Thinks the primary reference was to a Maccabaean priest-prince, possibly Simon, who in the year 141 b. Therefore its use as referring to the Father is to be taken as a necessary accommodation to our limited minds, which can
Think only in terms of time and space, and which can have no conception of pure spirit. Since, then, His body cannot be ubiquitous, it seems necessary to
Think of it as raised at the Ascension to some distinct place
the Merchant Man Who Sold All That he Had And Bought the Pearl of Great Price - " And of another goodly pearl, whose title at least you all know, he writes, "I am on the eve of finishing Guthrie, which, I

Exorcism - -It is pointed out in the article Divination that man, at a very early period, came to
Think of himself as surrounded by innumerable spirits, many of whom could enter into and influence him. This is possibly to be accounted for by the fact that the work of these writers forced them to

Judas -
Think, what a spectacle! How justly the object of detestation both to God and man! And

Barzillai - It was a mad project to
Think to solder the crown of Charles Stuart to the crown of Jesus Christ; at the same time, there was a pathos and a poetry in it that still touch our hearts to this day. One would
Think that the two asses that stood so laden and waiting for David on the top of the hill had marched straight out of Barzilla's butler's pantry
James the Lord's Brother -
Think out for yourselves those three years, the like of which never came to any other family on the face of the earth. And, then,
Think of the last week of all; the arrest, the trial, the crucifixion, the resurrection of Mary's first-born Son-whose imagination is sufficient to picture to itself Joseph and Mary and James and the other brothers and sisters of Jesus all that week! Where did they make ready to eat the passover? What were they doing at the hour when He was in Gethsemane? Were they standing with the crowd in the street when He was led about all night in His bonds? And where were they while He was being crucified? For, by that time, no one believed on Him but the thief on the cross alone
Daniel - And in all other ways, like Plutarch's Alexander, Ardmillan was, I
Think, the most gracious and gentlemanly man I ever knew. Read it and

Elijah - Some
Think that he was a priest descended from Aaron, and say that one Sabaca was his father; but this has no authority. Scheutzer observes, that he cannot
Think that the orebim of the Hebrew, rendered "ravens," means, as some have thought, the inhabitants of a town called Oreb, nor a troop of Arabs called orbhim; and contends that the bird called the raven, or one of the same genus, is intended
Simon Maccabaeus - Peter rebuked him for
Thinking that the gift of God might be purchased for money,
Acts 8:20 ; but I would observe that some of those persons who insist upon the fact that Simon was not a Christian appear to have forgotten that he was actually baptized. Such is the title which he bore before he had heard of Christ; and there is no reason to
Think that he afterward raised his pretensions, and identified himself with God. That Simon never identified a real living person with an idea emanating from the mind of God, may, I
Think, be assumed as certain
Hebrew - Some Bible students
Think many of the difficulties of the text of Hosea may be clarified by considering the Hebrew of that book as an example of northern or Israelite idiom
Korah - ...
Korah's sin answers to that of sacerdotalist ministers who, not content with the honour of the ministry (nowhere in the New Testament are Christian ministers called "sacrificing" or "sacerdotal priests," hiereis, a term belonging in the strict and highest sense to Jesus alone; restricted to Him and the Aaronic and pagan priests, and spiritually applied to all Christians:
Matthew 8:4;
Acts 14:13;
Hebrews 5:6;
Revelation 1:6;
Revelation 5:10;
Revelation 20:6;

Jealousy (2) - It is a jealousy for them, in which their cause is His, in which His honour (if such a word can be used in such a connexion) is touched if they are wronged, in which His love rises into passion, and takes on itself responsibilities for them of which they would not have dared to

Think that Silas may have written it independently, after the death of the Apostle
Citizenship - We can
Think of human existence and life apart from citizenship, but to the ancient member of a πόλις or ciuitas citizenship was life and life was citizenship
Cosmopolitanism - ...
It is true that the Gospels are full of protests against Jewish exclusiveness (
Matthew 3:9 ‘Think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father’; cf
Ammon, Ammonites - Perhaps the Ammonites lost their identity at this time: for, though their name appears later, many scholars

Field - We are not meant to
Think of Jesus and His disciples as going ruthlessly through the fields and trampling down the grain, but as following one of these paths over or between the fields
Abba - And I
Think it worthy of yet farther remark, that there is a beautiful sameness between the first cry of nature, in the infancy of our being, and this language of grace when the souls of believers are first born to God
Firstborn - FIRST, FIRSTBORN...
I should not
Think it necessary to detain the reader with any thing by way of explanation to these terms, being in themselves sufficiently obvious, but only when applied to the person of Christ, considered with an eye to him, they merit attention
Feasts - " (
Isaiah 52:3)...
I
Think it highly proper, before I dismiss this article concerning the Jewish feasts, to remark to the reader, the distinguishing privilege we enjoy in the Christian church, in having all in one the sum and substance of every feast in the person, work, grace, and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ
Philosophy - Hence arose the need of an interpreter on the sabbatic year, a time when the whole law was read, and also on the Sabbath in the synagogues, which some
Think had been recently erected, in order to make the people understand what was read

Leucius, Author of n.t. Apocryphal Additions - The context does not indicate that he had much personal knowledge of the sect, and his heretical notices appear to be derived from the Syntagma of Hippolytus, where we have no reason to
Think that he would have found any mention of Leucius. We
Think Zahn does not sufficiently allow for the probability in the case of one who is said to have lived so long that a true tradition that he never married might have been preserved in the churches of Asia. Combining the probabilities under the three heads enumerated, there seems reasonable ground for
Thinking that the Leucian Acts were 2nd cent. If so, we
Think other traces of this Leucian statement would have remained
Authority of Christ - ...
This holds true whenever we
Think of the moral or practical authority of Jesus. But just because we are conscious of this principle and of the affinity of our nature for it, we are free with regard to any particular expression of it; the particular words in which it is embodied even by Jesus do not possess the authority of a statute to which we can only conform, but about which we must not
Think. When Jesus says, ‘Whoso shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other; to him that would go to law with thee and take thy coat, leave also thy cloak’: it is not to keep us from
Thinking about moral problems by giving us a rule to be blindly obeyed, it is rather to stimulate thought and deliver us from rules. ...
(b) The authority of Jesus comes before us in another aspect when we
Think of Him not as commanding but as teaching, not as Legislator or Judge, but as Revealer. They do not, as they
Think, set aside the authority of Jesus in doing so: their idea rather is that in these regions Jesus never claimed to have or to exercise any authority
Teaching of the Twelve Apostles - Harnack has given good reasons for
Thinking that the same forger manipulated the Didaché and the Ignatian letters, and that his work may have been as early as a. The two forms employ some common earlier documents, but there is no reason to
Think that the framer of either was acquainted with the other. The same reasons that forbid us to
Think that Barnabas, if he had known the Didaché , would have left out its Christian element, prove the Ordinances and the Latin likewise independent of the Didaché. The quotation by Pseudo-Cyprian leads us to
Think that the Latin Doctrina Apostolorum did go beyond the "Two Ways. We prefer (2), on account of the reasons we shall presently give for
Thinking the document used by Barnabas to have been pre-Christian. a coincidence between the second "commandment" of Hermas and the "Sermon on the Mount" section, which we have already seen reason to
Think belongs to a later form of the Didaché
Mark, Gospel According to - The present writer
Thinks it most probable that the Second Gospel as we have it, or at any rate with the very slightest differences, was in the hands of all the other Evangelists when they wrote; and that the latter freely used the material before them, altering it, or adding to it, or omitting parts of it, as they thought right when following other guides. Internal evidence leads us to
Think that not improbably St. )
Thinks John, Salmon (Introd. )
Thinks Luke; while Schmiedel, in a not very convincing argument,
Thinks that Papias did not recognize Jn. )
Thinks that the author of the fragment had quoted Papias as saying that Mark was not a hearer of our Lord, and then qualified Papias’ assertion by saying that Mark had been present at some of our Lord’s discourses. Then the crowds begin to see in Him a prophet; His own people and the learned scribes from Jerusalem
Think Him mad. We might even
Think, at first sight, especially if we have the Matthaean account (
Mark 16:16) of Peter’s confession chiefly in mind and not the Markan, that the disciples then and then only found out that Jesus was Messiah
Esther - What a long, and complex, and shining chain, link after link, till Mordecai fashioned its last link and bound it with his strong but tender hands upon both the imagination, and the conscience, and the heart of Esther in these noble words: 'Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. Do not talk what thou wouldst be sure to do if thou wast an angel, but
Think what thou canst do as a man. But what is the chaff to the wheat, if only you will let God cleanse you? These are they-the elders in heaven look down and say over you-who come up hither out of great tribulation! The chaff
Think that I am describing a monstrosity and an impossibility in my poor description of you
Baptism - " Others
Think it signifies, "In hope of blessings to be received after they are numbered with the dead. These positions, they
Think, are so clear from Scripture, and the history of the church, that they stand in need of but little argument for their support. As to the subjects of baptism, they believe that qualified adults, who have not been baptized before, are certainly proper subjects; but then they
Think, also, that infants ought not to be excluded
Adam - Josephus
Thinks that he was called Adam by reason of the reddish colour of the earth out of which he was formed, for Adam in Hebrew signifies red. Jones
Thinks it may be from Adim, which in Sanscrit signifies, the first. Paul with the Athenians: "Forasmuch, then, as we are the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to
Think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device;"—plainly referring to the idolatrous statues by which God was represented among Heathens. If likeness to God in man consisted in bodily shape, this would not have been an argument against human representations of the Deity; but it imports, as Howe well expresses it, that "we are to understand that our resemblance to him, as we are his offspring, lies in some higher, more noble, and more excellent thing, of which there can be no figure; as who can tell how to give the figure or image of a thought, or of the mind or
Thinking power?" In spirituality, and, consequently, immateriality, this image of God in man, then, in the first instance, consists. "For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity:" and though other creatures were made capable of immortality, and at least the material human frame, whatever we may
Think of the case of animals, would have escaped death, had not sin entered the world; yet, without admitting the absurdity of the "natural immortality" of the human soul, that essence must have been constituted immortal in a high and peculiar sense which has ever retained its prerogative of continued duration amidst the universal death not only of animals, but of the bodies of all human beings. The Jews
Think that he wrote the ninety-first Psalm, invented the Hebrew letters, and composed several treatises; the Arabians, that he preserved twenty books which fell from heaven; and the Musselmen, that he himself wrote ten volumes
Baptize, Baptism - Some
Think Jesus was already aware of his role as Servant-Messiah, "numbered with the transgressors" (
Isaiah 53:12 ). Some
Think that Paul means this by the phrase "baptized into Christ" (
Galatians 3:27 ). It has much to say about the gospel, faith, new birth, purification, putting aside the flesh, the Spirit, admission to the community, reverencing Christ as Lordechoing much of the baptismal
