Galatians 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another. The English ambassador, some years since, prevailed so far with the Turkish emperor as to persuade him to hear some of our English music, from which (as from other liberal sciences) both he and his nation were naturally averse. But it happened that the musicians were so long in tuning their instruments that the great Turk, distasting their tediousness, went away in discontent before the music began. I am afraid that the dissensions betwixt Christian Churches (being so long in reconciling their discords) will breed in pagans such a disrelish of our religion, as they will not be invited to attend thereunto. (T. Fuller, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.WEB: But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another. |
