Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. During the ministry of the Rev. Ralph Erskine at Dunfermline a man was executed for robbery, whom he repeatedly visited in prison, and whom he attended on the scaffold. Mr. Erskine addressed both the spectators and the criminal, and after concluding his speech he laid his hands on his breast, uttering these words — "But for restraining grace I had been brought, by this corrupt heart, to the same condition with this unhappy man." Parallel Verses KJV: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. |
