| I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. (1 Cor. 4:14) |
| Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. (Col. 1:28) |
| We exhort you, brethren, WARN them that are unruly, COMFORT the feeble-minded, SUPPORT the weak, be PATIENT toward all. (1 Thess. 5:14) |
And is this love — to smooth the upward way,
To level every hill you else must climb,
Lose you the vision from the heights sublime,
Toil’s sure reward at the close of the day? |
One loves you more than I, who loves you
much;
Would I dare thwart the purposes divine
And change that wise and tender will for
mine?
Deny your living soul the shaping touch? |
