Quotes by New Testament Greek Scholars

The measure of a Christian is not in the height of his grasp but in the depth of his love

Clarence Jordan

Fear is the polio of the soul which prevents our walking by faith.

Clarence Jordan

Faith is not belief in spite of evidence but a life in scorn of the consequences.

Clarence Jordan

Even though people about us choose the path of hate and violence and warfare and greed and prejudice, we who are Christ's body must throw off these poisons and let love permeate and cleanse every tissue and cell. Nor are we to allow ourselves to become easily discouraged when love is not always obviously successful or pleasant. Love never quits, even when an enemy has hit you on the right cheek and you have turned the other, and he's also hit that.
