Acts 21:8-15 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist… I. Not the bonds of his own FLESH AND BLOOD, which he has torn asunder by the power of the Spirit. II. Not the bonds of HUMAN FORCE AND ENMITY (Paul bound at Jerusalem), which cannot injure him contrary to the will of God. III. Not the bonds of BROTHERLY LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP: for whosoever loveth brethren and sisters more than the Lord is not worthy of Him. IV. But only the bonds of LOVE TO THE LORD, to whom he is bound in grateful love and childlike fidelity even unto death (K. Gerok.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. |
