Matthew 24:13
John 10:28-29
27-30. My sheep hear my voice, &c.--(See on Joh 10:8). 1 Corinthians 10:12
12. thinketh he standeth--stands and thinks that he stands [Bengel]; that is, stands "by faith ... well pleasing" to God; in contrast to 1Co 10:5, "with many of them God was not well pleased" (Ro 11:20). fall--from his place in the Church of God (compare 1Co 10:8, "fell"). Both temporally and spiritually (Ro 14:4). Our security, so far as relates to God, consists in faith; so far as relates to ourselves, it consists in fear.
