Ever borrow money of the prisoner? Ever pay him? Was not this intimacy with the prisoner, in reality a very slight one, forced upon the prisoner in coaches, inns, and packets? Sure he saw the prisoner with these lists? Certain. Knew no more about the lists? Had not procured them himself, for instance? Expect to get anything by this evidence?英文原著 · 《A TALE OF TWO CITIES》
God accordingly uses the Law for a hammer to break up the illusion of self- righteousness, that we should despair of our own strength and efforts at self-justification. VERSE 23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. The Law is a prison to those who have not as yet obtained grace. No prisoner enjoys the confinement. He hates it. If he could he would smash the prison and find his freedom at all cost. As long as he stays in prison he refrains from evil deeds.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
When Cain was first shut up in the prison of the Law he felt no pang at the fratricide he had committed. He thought he could pass it off as an incident with a shrug of the shoulder. "Am I my brother's keeper?" he answered God flippantly. But when he heard the ominous words, "What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground," Cain began to feel his imprisonment. Did he know how to get out of prison? He failed to call the Gospel to his aid. He said: "My punishment is greater than I can bear." He could only think of the prison.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
He forgot that he was brought face to face with his crime so that he should hurry to God for mercy and for pardon. Cain remained in the prison of the Law and despaired. As a stone prison proves a physical handicap, so the spiritual prison of the Law proves a chamber of torture. But this it should only be until faith be revealed. The silly conscience must be educated to this. Talk to your conscience. Say: "Sister, you are now in jail all right. But you don't have to stay there forever.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
An education for social purposes is n't of any more use than a razor purchased for a like use. An education which merely fits a person to prey on society, and occasionally slash it up, is a predatory preparation for a life of uselessness, and closes no prison. Rather it opens a prison and takes captive at least one man. The only education that makes free is the one that tends to human efficiency. Teach children to work, play, laugh, fletcherize, study, think, and yet again--work, and we will raze every prison.英文原著 · 《John Jacob Astor》
