Description

Alexander Maclaren's "Expositions of Holy Scripture: Second Corinthians, Galatians, and Philippians Chapters; I to End. Colossians, Thessalonians, and First Timothy" is a collection of expository sermons focused on key New Testament epistles written by the Apostle Paul. The work covers themes such as morality, Christian life, grace, and the relationship between faith and works, with particular attention to the ethical and spiritual exhortations found in these letters. Maclaren emphasizes the importance of combining genuine faith with righteous conduct and offers detailed interpretations of passages from Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, and First Timothy, aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine and practice within a late 19th-century theological context.

Written in the late 19th century, the series reflects the period's approach to biblical interpretation, combining scholarly exegesis with pastoral application. The sermons include discussions on topics like the fruit of the Spirit, Christian unity, humility, and perseverance, making it a resource for clergy, students, and lay readers interested in biblical exegesis and moral instruction based on Pauline writings.

CORINTHIANS HOPE AND HOLINESS Having therefore these promises . . . let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.'—2 Cor. vii. 1. It is often made a charge against professing Christians that their religion has very little to do with common morality. The taunt has sharpened multitudes of gibes and been echoed in all sorts of tones: it is very often too true and perfectly just, but if ever it is, let it be distinctly understood that it is not so because of Christian men's religion but in spite of it. Their bitterest enemy does not condemn them half so emphatically as their own religion does: the sharpest censure of others is not so sharp as the rebukes of the New Testament. If there is one thing which it insists upon more than another, it is that religion without morality is nothing—that the one test to which, after…
