 8nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
 9not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

 3If any one teach differently, and do not accede to sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to piety,

 5discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
 6The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:
 7in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,
 8a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:
 9bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

 11Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
 12having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that as to that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through your good works, themselves witnessing them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
 13Be in subjection therefore to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to the king as supreme,
 14or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.
 15Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;
 16as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.
 17Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
 18Servants, be subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.

 8for these things existing and abounding in you make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
 9for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.
 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
 11for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you. (2 Peter 1:5‑11)

 22and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight.
 23And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment.

CONCLUDING REMARKS ON MATTHEW'S GOSPEL.Matthew being one of the twelve apostles, and early called to the apostleship, and from the time of his call a constant attendant on our Saviour, was perfectly well qualified to write fully the history of his life.
He relates what he saw and heard.
"He is eminently distinguished for the distinctness and particularity with which he has related many of our Lord's discourses and moral instructions.
Of these his sermon on the mount, his charge to the apostles, his illustrations of the nature of his kingdom, and his prophecy on mount Olivet, are examples.
He has also wonderfully united simplicity and energy in relating the replies of his Master to the cavils of his adversaries."
"There is not," as Dr. A. Clarke justly remarks, "one truth or doctrine, in the whole oracles of God, which is not taught in this Evangelist.
The outlines of the whole spiritual system are here correctly laid down:
even Paul himself has added nothing:
he has amplified and illustrated the truths contained in this Gospel;--under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, neither he, nor any of the other apostles, have brought to light one truth, the prototype of which has not been found in the words and acts of our blessed Lord as related by Matthew."
• Now it appears to me that with such a word as this the ascension scene would be incongruous. He had said, "Lo, I am with you alway"; and there the curtain drops — the unbroken blessedness of this promise rings on the heart! Thus the keeping out of view His departure seems to me to crown the beauty of the parting promise, and of the whole Gospel. (“Remarks on Matthew 28” by W. Kelly)
• This was and is enough for faith. The Lord grant that we may confide our souls, both for this age and forever, to that Word which shall stand when heaven and earth pass away! (“Remarks on Matthew 28” by W. Kelly)
