mhcc - ill-will

mhcc@2Samuel:10:1-5 @ Verse 1-5 -...it. Those who bear ill-will to...-will to them. There is nothing so well meant, but it may be ill interpreted, and is wont to be so, by men who love nobody but themselves. The best men must not think it strange if they are thus misrepresented. Charity thinketh no evil. According to the usages of those days and countries, Hanun treated David's ambassadors in the most contemptuous manner. David showed much concern for his servants. Let us learn not to lay unjust reproaches to heart; they will wear off, and turn only to the shame of those who utter or do them; while the reputation wrongfully hurt in a little time grows again, as these beards did. God will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, therefore wait patiently for him,

mhcc@Romans:15:30-33 @ Verse 30-33 -...sought, for restraining the ill-will of...-will of our friends. All our joy depends upon the will of God. Let us be earnest in prayer with and for each other, that for Christ's sake, and by the love of the Holy Spirit, great blessings may come upon the souls of Christians, and the labours of ministers. **** Matthew Henry's Commentary ****

mhcc@Hebrews:9:6-10 @ Verse 6-10 -...causing us to bear ill-will to...-will to all. We have greater freedom, both of spirit and speech, in the gospel, and greater obligations to a more holy living.
