Page 163 - For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman : likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. 23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
Page 68 - This is it that the LORD spake, saying, " I will be sanctified in them that ' come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glori' fied."
