John 1:47

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:

But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:

Happy is the man in whom the Lord sees no evil, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.

So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk,

And in their mouth there was no false word, for they are untouched by evil.

If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.
