Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.
The first care of every Christian ought to be to lay aside all reliance on works, and strengthen his faith alone more and more, and by it grow in the knowledge, not of works, but of Christ Jesus, who has suffered and risen again for him.
