Example Sentences
- "If it be asked what is the one predominant thought in the Epistle, its one idea and motive, the answer seems to be neither (as some have supposed) the blessedness of enduring temptation — thought this is very prominent in it; nor a polemic against mistaken impressions respecting justification by faith, though that occupies an important section; nor an Ebionising exaltation of the poor over the rich, though the rich are sternly warned ; nor a contrast between the friendship of the world and the enmity of God."
- "Most of this Ebionising exaltation of Judaic episcopacy is the nonsense of an heretical and malignant ecclesiasticism, savouring of the elements which have ever been the corruption of all that is pure and sound and simple in the Church."
- "If, again, the multitude of quotations from the Jewish scriptures might be supposed to have most weight with Jews (though we find the same phenomenon in the Epistle to the Galatians), yet, on the other hand, in the apologetic section (ix. - xi,.) the argument is rather about the Jews than addressed to them, and the moral precepts of the practical chapters seem to have in view the liberal Gentiles far more than the Ebionising Jews."
