The letter killeth but ordsprog

And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: / Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; / Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life

By its very nature, this case entails a conflict between the spirit and the letter of the law. We lost on the letter of the law. We won on the spirit. And to that extent we are vindicated.

For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? / For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? / But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life.

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Voltaire

And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? / And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit. She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine.

Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi

You have your bad, nervous days. I had some of them. Being picked up by the spirit of life and the spirit of friendship and the spirit of basketball was great.

A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue

He asked if we could sit in private. He had this letter. It explained his life, where he was from, his childhood he was trying to tell me the way he was. The letter even talked about the woman who broke his heart. He wanted to know if I had ideas for jobs.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; / Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? / There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
