Yet we are not to omit reading the abstruser texts, which have any appearance of relating to us; but should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin, who understood not several of our Saviour's sayings, but kept them all in her heart. Were we only to learn humility thus, it would be enough; but we shall by degrees come to apprehend far more than we expected, if we diligently compare spiritual things to spiritual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paradise is our native country, and we in this world be as exiles and strangers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Paradise is our native country, and we in this world be as exiles and strangers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The command of custome is great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49820]]></link><description><![CDATA[The command of custome is great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of our misfortune are more supportable than the comments of our friends upon them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of our misfortune are more supportable than the comments of our friends upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public! the public! how many fools does it require to make the public? [Fr., Le public! le public! combien ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public! the public! how many fools does it require to make the public? [Fr., Le public! le public! combien faut-il de sots pour faire un public?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those are the most successful people if they go to a class.

Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification.
