Look to yourselves Take heed, lest you grow remiss or negligent in the course of your obedience. That we lose not, &c. Lest you lose the reward of what you have already done, which every apostate does; but that we receive Which every one that is faithful unto death shall do; a full reward That, having fully employed all our talents to the glory of him that gave them, we may receive the whole portion of felicity which God has promised to diligent, persevering Christians. Receive this as a certain rule; whosoever transgresseth Any law of God; and abideth not Does not persevere; in his belief of, and obedience to, the doctrine of Christ, hath not God For his Father and his God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ Believing and obeying it; hath both the Father and the Son Who have confirmed that doctrine in the most ample manner.
