In the course of going through this book, I have found several typographical errors which I have taken the liberty to correct. Selections on which corrections have been made are denoted by an asterisk next to the page number on the post, mostly for my own recollection. Corrections that have been made have no bearing on the subject matter. In addition, the reader of this blog should note that the postings I make are not in the same order of the book and are completely arbitrary,

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:5
 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:11-12

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Vital Godliness

Vital Godliness


Godliness, a word that means piety and reverence.
(pg. 62

It's lack in the world...
                              Psalm 12:1-8
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, 
and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;
our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the LORD; 
I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 
The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, 
purified seven times.Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, 
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 
The wicked walk on every side, 
when the vilest men are exalted.
 It's need among the worldly...
                             2 Timothy 3:5
 Having a form of godliness, 
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
 It's pattern and source in Christ...
                             1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery 
of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, 
preached unto the Gentiles, 
believed on in the world, 
received up into glory.
                            Hebrews 5:7

Who in the days of his flesh, 
when he had offered up prayers 
and supplications with strong crying 
and tears unto him that was able to save
him from death, and was heard in that he feared;


It's power for believers...
                           2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us
all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us 
to glory and virtue:

                          2 Timothy 3:16-18
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

It's pursuit by believers...
                         2 Peter1:3
According as his divine power
hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, 
through the knowledge of him 
that hath called us to glory and virtue:
                        1 Timothy 6:11 
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; 
and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

It's treatment by the world...
                         2 Timothy 3:12
Yea, and all that will live godly
in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

It's importance in view of eternity...
                        2 Peter 3:16
As also in all his epistles,
speaking in them of these things; 
in which are some things hard to be understood, 
which they that are unlearned 
and unstable wrest, 
as they do also the other scriptures,
unto their own destruction.
