Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone: for I do always those things that please him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. The man who habitually lives in sin is not a free man, for he is still a slave to sin.
