1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. A colonial governor who was about to return to England offered to use his influence with the home government and procure any favour the colonists might desire. The unanimous reply was as startling as the demand for the head of John the Baptist. "Tell them to tear down the lighthouses, they are ruining the colony." The people were wreckers. (W. C. Church.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
