For if these things be in you, and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be barren
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:8
"Both old and young neglect the Bible.
They do not make it their study, the rule of their life.
Most of them find time to read other books, but the book that points out the way to eternal life is not daily studied.
Idle stories are attentively read,
while the Bible is neglected."
