Matthew Henry
None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God and God will not do without us.

Matthew Henry
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
Matthew Henry
Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
