More quotes by Adam Clarke
The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They lived on each other's praise. If they had acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they must have given up the good opinion of the multitude and they chose rather to lose their souls than to forfeit their reputation among men!
Adam Clarke
He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.
Adam Clarke
All abuse and waste of God's creatures are spoil and robbery on the property of the Creator.
Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke
Pride works frequently under a dense mask, and will often assume the garb of humility.
Adam Clarke
Woe to that man who runs when God has not sent him and woe to him who refuses to run, or who ceases to run, when God has sent him.
Adam Clarke
Multitudes of words are neither an argument of clear ideas in the writer, nor a proper means of conveying clear notions to the reader.
Adam Clarke
However, all gifts seem now to be absorbed in one and a man must be either a Preacher or nothing.
Adam Clarke
Matthew being a constant attendant on our Lord, his history is an account of what he saw and heard and, being influenced by the Holy Spirit, his history is entitled to the utmost degree of credibility.
Adam Clarke
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
Adam Clarke
I have lived to know that the secret of happiness is never to allow your energies to stagnate.
Adam Clarke
Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures.
Adam Clarke
It is to be regretted that few persons who have arrived at any degree of eminence or fame, have written Memorials of themselves, at least such as have embraced their private as well as their public life.
Adam Clarke
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
Adam Clarke
But this Christ or Redeemer took not upon him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham, that is, human nature, that in the nature which sinned he might make the expiation required.
Adam Clarke
