SCRIPTURE

"and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith." — 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (ASV)

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

I really do not know which is the worst to put up with – an unreasonable man or a wicked man. A wicked man may do you all sorts of mischief, but you soon know him. But an unreasonable man – you do not know where to find him, and he can attack you from all sorts of places. Alas! there are some very unreasonable Christians – very good in some points, but very stupid; and a stupid man may set a village on a blaze quite as easily as a wicked man.

The stupid man's accident may be as dangerous as another man's design. Pray also that we may be delivered from wicked and unreasonable men, for all men have not faith, and all men have not sense, I may also add.

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

All men are not candid, or true: all men have not faith.
