¹¹你们 虽然 不好 ，尚且 知道 拿好 东西 给 儿女 ，何况你们 在 天上 的父 ，岂不更 把好东西 给 求 他 的人么？

¹¹ Verse 11. If ye, then, being evil] πονηροιοντες, who are

radically and diabolically depraved, yet feel yourselves led, by

natural affection, to give those things to your children which are

necessary to support their lives, how much more will your Father

who is in heaven, whose nature is infinite goodness, mercy, and

grace, give good things-his grace and Spirit (πνευμααγτον, the

Holy Ghost, Lu 11:13,) to them who ask him? What a picture is

here given of the goodness of God! Reader, ask thy soul, could

this heavenly Father reprobate to unconditional eternal damnation

any creature he has made? He who can believe that he has, may

believe any thing: but still GOD IS LOVE.
