Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them-see James 1:22, which seems a plain allusion to these words; also Luke 11:28, Romans 2:13, 1 John 3:7. I will liken him unto a wise man-a shrewd, prudent, provident man. Which built his house upon a rock-the rock of true discipleship, or genuine subjection to Christ. However, we often use the New American Standard Bible for studies, because of its faithfulness to the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic languages. Ron Beckham, Pastor Friday Study Ministries P.O.

(Rom 7:10-12) Sin corrupts the law and defeats its purpose of giving life; once law is corrupted by sin, it brings death. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Hebrews is deep, but worth it! Hebrews can be a daunting book to study. It is deep and full of sometimes difficult to understand terms and theology. Yet we should not give up just because it is difficult! 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” If we are to fully understand God’s Word we are to be diligent in study. If we are, the reward is great.
Study Hebrews together with other believers. One of the best places to delve into Bible study is in small discussion groups. When we meet with other believers to study the Word we are challenged to dig into it and share what we have learned with one another fulfilling the command found in Hebrews 10:24-25 to, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Recently I led a Bible study group through a weekly chapter by chapter study of Hebrews. It was exciting to discover the nuggets of powerful truth which were uncovered through faithful study of His Word.
Comprehensive Bible study notes. I have posted these inductive Bible study notes of Hebrews on this site to help others who are studying this Epistle.

Key themes. As we studied through the book of Hebrews, several overarching topics kept popping up again and again. Transocean 2: rivals download free. The main themes in Hebrews include the superiority of Christ, the superiority of the new covenant, and urgent calls for the believer to persevere in his faith.

Hebrews 11:1
“Now Faith is the Assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
(7) For I would that all men were even as I myself.—Better, Iwish rather that all men were asImyself. These words do not mean that the Apostle wished that every one was unmarried, but that every one had the same grace of continence which he himself was endowed with, so that they might without risk of sin remain unmarried (see 1Corinthians 7:26). Yet, he adds, there are many gifts, and God has given to each man his own gift, so that, though you may not have the particular gift of continence which I have, you have some other. One has one kind of gift; another has another kind.7:1-9 The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says that marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom. Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves men at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers and circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All must determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act.For I would .. - I would prefer.That all men .. - That Paul was unmarried is evident from 1 Corinthians 9:5. But he does not refer to this fact here. When he wishes that all people were like himself, he evidently does not intend that he would prefer that all should be unmarried, for this would be against the divine institution, and against his own precepts elsewhere. But he would be glad if all people had control over their passions and propensities as he had; had the gift of continence, and could abstain from marriage when circumstances of trial, etc., would make it proper. We may add, that when Paul wishes to exhort to anything that is difficult, he usually adduces 'his own example' to show that 'it may be done;' an example which it would be well for all ministers to be able to follow.

But every man hath his proper gift - Every man has his own special talent, or excellence. One man excels in one thing, and another in another. One may not have this particular virtue, but he maybe distinguished for another virtue quite as valuable. The doctrine here is, therefore, that we are not to judge of others by ourselves, or measure their virtue by ours. We may excel in some one thing, they in another. And because they have not our special virtue, or capability, we are not to condemn or denounce them; compare Matthew 19:11, Matthew 19:12. Flawless 0 9 5.
Of God - Bestowed by God either in the original endowments and faculties of body or mind, or by his grace. In either case it is the gift of God. The virtue of continence is his gift as well as any other; and Paul had reason, as any other man must have, to be thankful that God had conferred it on him. So if a man is naturally amiable, kind, gentle, large-hearted, tender, and affectionate, he should regard it as the gift of God, and be thankful that he has not to contend with the evils of a morose, proud, haughty, and severe temper. It is true, however, that all these virtues may be greatly strengthened by discipline, and that religion gives vigor and comeliness to them all. Paul's virtue in this was strengthened by his resolution; by his manner of life; by his frequent fastings and trials, and 'by the abundant employment' which God gave him in the apostleship. And it is true still, that if a man is desirous to overcome the lusts of the flesh, industry, and hardship, and trial, and self-denial will enable him, by the grace of God, to do it. idleness is the cause of no small part of the corrupt desires of people; and God kept Paul from these:
(1) By giving him enough to do; and,
(2) By giving him enough to suffer.
7. even as I—having tile gift of continence (Mt 19:11, 12). This wish does not hold good absolutely, else the extension of mankind and of the Church would cease; but relatively to 'the present distress' (1Co 7:26).I would that all men were even as I myself:I would, in this place, can signify no more than, I could wish or desire, (if it were the will of God), that all Christians had the gift of continency, which God (blessed be his name) hath given me: that this is meant, is plain by the next words, and Studies 1 7 7 Commentary Verse

But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that: But, saith the apostle, every one hath not the gift of continency, one hath it, another hath it not; which is the same thing which our Saviour said in reply to his disciples, saying: If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given, Matthew 19:10. For I would that all men were even as I myself,.. The apostle speaks not of his state and condition, as married or unmarried, for it is not certain which he was; some think he had a wife, others not: it looks, however, as if he had not at this time, as appears from 1 Corinthians 7:8 but be it which it will, it can hardly be thought he should wish all men to be in either state, either all married, or all unmarried; but he speaks of the gift of continency, which he had, as the following words show; and this he desires for all men, that they might not be in any danger from Satan's temptations, and that they might be more fit for and intent upon the service of Christ. The Syriac version adds, in 'purity', or 'chastity'; which may be preserved in a marriage state, as well as in single life:
but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that: all the gifts of nature and grace which men have, they have of God, and not of themselves; and every man has a gift proper to himself; no one man has all gifts, but some one, and some another; and with respect to the case in hand, one man has the gift of continency, another the gift of marriage; all cannot contain themselves, only to whom it is given: and all are not disposed to marriage; some are inclined to a single life, and some to a marriage state; and of those that are married, some can abstain from the use of the marriage bed longer than others, without being in danger of being tempted by Satan for their incontinency; and such a disposition is desirable.
