Hebrews 3:13. But exhort one another daily.
In opposition to their always erring, do you be always exhorting, and you cannot do that with any face unless you are always watching that you do not err yourselves; but when, walking yourselves near with God, you exhort one another, it is well. "Exhort one another daily."
Hebrews 3:13. While it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
If sin were to come to us labeled as sin, I trust we should reject it; but there is a deceitfulness of sin. It sometimes comes as a necessary action. We think that wisdom demands that we should sin a little sometimes to avoid some great evil; and in this way the soul gets hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Oh! if the devil would come in the shape of a devil, he would do little mischief, but he assumes the fashion of an angel of light, and there it is that he causes us so much sin and sorrow.
