1 Cor. 16. 22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be had in execration, yea let him be accursed unto the death.
1 Cor. 16. 22. If any man love not the Lord Iesus Christ, let him be had in execration, yea let him be accursed unto the death.
IF it be of so much moment to love the LORD, that they 1are accursed that love him not, let me exhort you then to do it. The motive in the Text puts a necessity upon the duty, but to draw you on by the cords of love. See what you shall get by it. It might be a strong argument, you shall perish if you do it not: But let us see the advantages that will come to us by it.
