How to Deal with Christians Who Need Counsel, Rebuke, Encouragement or Comfort
It is often necessary to do personal work with those who are really Christians, but whose Christian experience for one cause or another is unsatisfactory.
I. Christians who are neglecting the open confession of Christ. There are many who are professing Christians who are not making an open confession of Christ as they ought. The experience of such is of course always unsatisfactory. Noone can make satisfactory progress in the Christian life who is not confessing Christ openly before men. One of the best passages of Scripture to use with this class is Matt, 10: 32, 33: “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before meny-him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”’ The meaning and application of this verse is so plain as to need no comment.
Another excellent passage to use is Rom. 10:9, 10:
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt, believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou * shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and wzth the mouth confession ts made unto salvation.”
According to this passage, our very salvation depends upon the confession of Jesus Christ with the mouth. There are many who say that they are Christians and who believe that they are saved, because in their hearts they believe in Jesus and have accepted Him asa Saviour. They will tell you that they do not regard a public confession of Christ as necessary. The passage just given will show them how utterly unscriptural is their position. A short time ago a man who éalled himself a Christian, and who entertained the hope that he really was a child of God, but who lacked joy in his experience, approached me with the question, ‘‘Do you think it is necessary that a man should publicly confess Christ in order to be saved?’’ I replied, ‘‘It is a matter of very little moment what I think is necessary, the great question is, what does God tell us in His own Word?’’ Then I gave him Rom. 10:9, roto read. ‘*‘Now,’’ I said, ‘“‘that is what God says.’’ The meaning and application of the passage were so plain, that the man had nothing further to say, but promised to make an open confession of Christ before the world. Another helpful passage to use is John 12: 42, 43: “Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.’’ In many cases I have found that where these other passages did not seem to lead to decisive action, Mark 8: 38 did:
‘‘Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.’’
II. Christians who are neglecting the Bible.
There are many to-day who make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, and of whom doubtless many are saved, who are making little or no progress in the Christian life because of neglect of the Bible. A good passage to use with such is 1 Pet..a+2: aii ‘‘ As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby.’’ I was once calling upon a member of the church. I put to her the question, ‘‘How are you getting along in your Christian life??? She replied, ‘‘I am not getting on at all; my Christian life is a disgrace to me, a disgrace to the church, and a disgrace to Jesus Christ.” I then asked, ‘‘Are you studying the Word of God daily?’ She replied that she was not. ‘“‘No wonder then that your Christian experience is not satisfactory,’’ said I. A little baby was lying in a carriage close at hand. I pointed to the child and said, ‘‘Suppose that you fed this baby every two hours to-day, once every six hours to-morrow, not at all the next day, three or four times the next day, and then let her go two or three days without feeding at all, how do you think the baby would thrive?’’ She replied, ‘‘I do not think the baby would thrive at all, I think she would die.’’ ‘‘Well,’’ I said, ‘this is the exact way in which you are treating your soul.’’ This point is emphasized by the passage just given. Another passage to use with this class is Acts 20: 323
‘“‘And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”
Other helpful passages are:
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James I: 21, 22.
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a child thou hast known ¢he holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.’’ 2 Tim. 3: 13-17.
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.’”’ Eph. 6: 17.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.’”” Ps. 119: 9, 11, 130.
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and zz his law doth he med: ttate day and night.” Ps. 1:1, 2. ee
In the use of the last passage especially emphasize the second verse, ‘‘His delight is in the law of the LORD: And in his
law doth he meditate day and night.’ In a similar way you can use Josh. 1: 8; “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt medztate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for tie thou shalt make thy Way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’’
A passage which is useful as emphasizing the need of daily searching the scriptures is Acts 17:11:
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daztly, whether those things were so.”’
In urging upon others the daily study of the Scriptures it
is always well to give them a few simple directions as to how to study the Bible.
III. Christians who are neglecting prayer.
One of the commonest causes in our day of an unsatisfactory Christian experience, is neglect of prayer. A personal worker will often find those who complain that they are not making satisfactory progress in the Christian life. In such a case the worker should always inquire whether they make a regular practice of prayer and to what extent. When it is found that prayer is being neglected, the following passages will be found useful:
‘Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, decause ye ask not.” James 4: 2.
- Str ising this passage, emphasize the seven closing words:
“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit ¢o them that ask him?” Luke ri: 9-13.
‘Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and Jet them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him, Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avatleth much.
“Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.’” James 5: 13-18.
“And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and fray, lest ye enter into temptation.”’ Luke 22: 46.
The last passage is especially helpful as emphasizing one of the most important purposes of prayer. Another exceedingly instructive passage along this line is Is. 40: 31:
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
A passage which is useful as suggesting the need of regular seasons of prayer is Ps. 55:17: “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.’’ Other passages which are useful in dealing with people of this class are: ‘‘And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.’’ Mark 1: 35. ‘‘Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.’’ Dan. 6: ro. “And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.’’ Mark 6: 46. ‘“And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.’’ Luke 6: 12. “Pray without ceasing.’’ 1 Thess. 5: 17.
IV. Christians who are leading careless lives.
There are many whom one would hesitate to say are not Christians at all and are not saved, but whose lives are not out and out for Christ as they should be. In dealing with such, the following passages will be found particularly useful: 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; especially emphasize in these verses, the words, ‘‘Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate.”
‘*No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”’ Matt. 6: 24.
Cae —
In the above passage, dwell upon and drive home the closing words, “‘Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”’
‘Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is
’ in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.’’ 1 John 2: 15-17.
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that ¢he friendshib of the world ts enmity with God? whosoever therefore shall be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.’’ James 4: 4, 6-8.
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.’’ Heb. 12: 14.
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; forI am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” 1 Peter 1: 13-19.
‘For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?’”’ 1 Peter 4:17, 18.
‘And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this léfe, and bring no fruit to perfection.’’ Luke 8: 14.
In using the above passage, dwell upon the thought contained in the words, ‘‘choked with cares and riches and pleasures of
this life.’’
‘And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For asa snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21: 34-36.
“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.’”’ Luke 12: 35-38.
‘‘T beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”’” Rom, 12:1, 2
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”’” Rom. 14: 23.
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Tim. HB by ts
V. Christians who are not working for Christ.
A large proportion of the professing church to-day is doing little or nothing for the Master. The personal worker who shall succeed in getting other Christians to work will be accomplishing at least as much for Christ as the one who leads the unsaved to Him. The Bible abounds in passages which can be effectively used for this purpose. The following will be found useful: Mark 13: 34-37, emphasize the words ‘‘to every man his work;’’ Matt. 24: 44-51: Matt. 25: 14-30: A verse which is useful in showing idle Christians that every professed follower of Christ ought to be a witness for Him and a soul winner, is Acts.3:.4:
“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.”’ Eph 4: 14-16 is also useful:
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted dy that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
In using this passage, point out the words, ‘‘that which every joint supplieth,” and explain their meaning. Other verses that will be found useful are Eph. 5: 14-21:
“She hath done what she could.’”? Mark 14: 8.
“‘Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”’ James §: 20.
‘‘And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”’ Dan. 12: 3.
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, fo gzve every man according as his work shall be.” Rev. 22: 12.
VI. Christians who are undergoing temptation.
There come to all Christians, and especially to all young Christians, times of special temptation and trial. At such times they need and should have, the counsel and encouragement of other Christians. We should bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Gal. 6:2.) Hereisa large field of usefulness for the personal worker. The following passages will be found exceedingly useful in strengthening the brethren when under trial and temptation.
‘“‘My brethren, count it all joy when ye fallinto divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.’’ James 1: 2-4.
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.’’ James 1: 12,
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedtast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.’ 1 Pet. 5: 8-10.
(It is well when possible to use the R. V. of the last passage.)
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
re are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.’” 1 Cor. 10: 13.
‘*And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.’’ 2 Cor. 12:9, to.
“Pray without ceasing.’’ 1 Thess. 5:17.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.’’ Phil. Anil3s
‘“‘T have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.’’ 1 Jno. 2: 14.
““Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.’’ Ps. 119: 9.
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.’’ Is. 40: 29-31.
VII. Christians who are undergoing persecution.
Many professed Christians fail in the hour of persecution who would have stood if they could have had a few words of counsel from some fellow Christian. The following passages are useful in giving the needed word of counsel and encouragement:
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matt. 5: 10-12.
‘Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.”” 1 Pet. 4: 12-14.
“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.’’ 1 Pet. 4: 16.
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.’ 1 Pet. 2: 21-23.
“For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.’’ 1 Pet. 3:17, 18.
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution:y;))) 2) Dim: 3! 12.
“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”’ Acts 14: 22.
‘‘And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
“And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”’ Acts 5: 40-42.
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.’’ Heb. 12: 1-4.
‘“‘Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil
- shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.’’ Rev. 2: Io.
‘‘Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.’’ Luke 12: 32.
VIII. Christians who are passing through affliction.
When times of affliction come to Christians, especially to young Christians, a few words fitly spoken by a fellow Christian are oftentimes of great help. Not infrequently they save the afflicted one from years of darkness and barrenness in their Christian experience. There are many to-day who are of little or no use in the church, who would have been of use if some wise worker had come to them in the hour of affliction and given them good counsel from God’s own Word. We should all be constantly on the lookout for opportunities of this kind, and we will find them round about us almost every day of our lives. No thoughts of our own can possibly be of as much help in such an hour as the promises and encouragements of God’s Word. The following passages will be found useful and sufficient, if wisely used in the power of the Holy Spirit:
“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening.of the Lord, nor faint when thou art-rebtiked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
“‘Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.’’ Heb. 12; 5-7, II.
“To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be trie with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.’’ 1 Pet. 1: 4-7.
‘‘Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.’’ 1 Pet. 5: 6, 7.
“God-is our refuge and strength, a very present help in troudle. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the
swelling thereof.” Ps. 46: 1-3,
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort mes) (Psi23)) 4;
‘And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.’’ Ps. 50: 15.
‘‘The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.’’ Ps. 34: 17
‘“‘The LORD is my light and my salvation; WhomshallI fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in
“TS L Fas 5 this will I be confident, One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For zx the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
“‘T had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Ps. 27: 1-6, 13, 14.
mm“Come unto’ me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt. II: 28, 29.
The one who is to use these passages should first read
them over and over again with himself alone, and think of
their relation to the specific trial of the one whom he proposes
“help.
‘IX. Christians who have lost loved ones.
‘The ministry of comfort to those whose homes have been
Anvaded by death is one of the most blessed of Christian min-
‘istries. It is a ministry that is open to us all, but the attempts of many well-meaning persons in this direction, who try to comfort with their own fancies rather than with the sure Word of God, oftentimes do more harm than good. But the one who knows his Bible, and what it has to say upon the subject of death and of the future, will be able to bind up many a broken heart. Jesus declared in the synagogue at Nazareth, that God had anointed Him to heal the broken hearted, (Luke 4: 18), and every follower of Jesus should seek an anointing for the same blessed work. The Bible abounds in passages which are useful for this purpose, but the following are among those which experience proves to be most effective:
“Tet not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I goto prepare a place for you. And if Igo and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I save unto you: not as the world
