1:10 For - He adds the reason why he speaks so confidently. Do I now satisfy men - Is this what I aim at in preaching or writing? If I still - Since I was an apostle. Pleased men - Studied to please them; if this were my motive of action; nay, if I did in fact please the men who know not God. I should not be the servant of Christ - Hear this, all ye who vainly hope to keep in favour both with God and with the world!

\"Let your faith rest not in the wisdom of me, but in the power of God.\" The word dwells richly in my heart and mind. \"Those who seek me early shall find ME\" So, imprssing men is not worshipping God, but rather \" Vanity of vanities saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity.\" \"Comparing spiritual things with spiritual.\" Bruce Kane
