 1   2     |     misery and in deep need of mercy, a prophet, preaching of
 2   8     |       striking~evidence of his mercy by pardoning some who were
 3   9     |     else that he had "obtained~mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy"~51
 4   9     |  running, but of God's~showing mercy."~57 Still, it is obvious
 5   9     |   running but of God's showing mercy," unless it be that "the
 6   9     |   running but of~God's showing mercy," means that the action
 7   9     |       will of man~and from the mercy of God. Thus we accept the
 8   9     |   running but of God's showing mercy," as if it meant, "The will
 9   9     |       unless there is also the mercy of God." By the same token,
10   9     |         By the same token, the mercy of God is not sufficient
11   9     |   running but of God's showing mercy," because the will of man
12   9     |        matter of God's showing mercy but of a~man's willing,"
13   9     |      man's willing," since the mercy of God by itself alone is
14   9     |        matter of God's showing mercy but of man's willing," lest
15   9     |      running but God's showing mercy," is to be understood to
16   9     |  Eloquence we read both, "His ~mercy goes before me,"~60 and
17   9     |  before me,"~60 and also, "His mercy shall follow me."~61 It
18   9     |   enemies, therefore, that~the mercy of God should go before
19   9     |    pray for ourselves that his~mercy shall follow us. ~
20  13     |  unless the gracious grace and mercy of God interpose.~
21  13     |    generations,~because in his mercy he will not continue his
22  14     |        own free act of showing mercy - as part of a definite
23  19     |               although, in his mercy, he does blot out sins already
24  19     |  applies to all useful acts of mercy. Therefore, not only the
25  19     |         since in this he shows~mercy.~Now, many benefits are
26  19(158)|   lists of "The Seven Works of Mercy." Cf. J.T. McNeill, A History
27  20     |        almsgiving is a work of mercy, and the saying is most
28  20     |     saying is most true: "Have mercy upon~your own soul, pleasing
29  20     |   ourselves - when through the mercy of a merciful God we come
30  20     |       were put~in need of that mercy, of which the apostle says, "
31  20     |       they, first of all, show mercy toward themselves. In reference
32  20     | Accordingly," it is said, "His mercy shall go before me."~172~~
33  22     |       be enabled to do so, the mercy of God is prerequisite.
34  24     |         I will sing to thee of mercy and judgment, O~Lord"~199 -
35  24     |     set free save by unmerited mercy and no one is damned save
36  24     |   infants is taken up by~God's mercy and the other abandoned
37  25     |      acteth, he acteth through mercy; when he doth not act, it
38  25     | through justice. For, "he~hath mercy on whom he willeth; and
39  25     |    says to Moses, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,
40  25     |      mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will show pity to
41  25     |     deserving or when he shows mercy to the undeserving? Finally,
42  25     |      runs but of~God's showing mercy."~210~Thus, both the twins
43  25     |      He who said, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,"
44  25     |      mercy on whom I will have mercy," loved Jacob in~unmerited
45  25     |       loved Jacob in~unmerited mercy, yet hated Esau with merited
46  25     |     runs, but of God's showing mercy."~212 And, indeed,~the whole
47  25     |    apostle had commended God's mercy in saying, "So then, there
48  25     |     runs, but of God's showing mercy," next in order he~intends
49  25     |       judgment - for where his mercy is not shown, it is not
50  25     |     both ways, that is,~toward mercy and toward judgment: "Therefore,"
51  25     |  Therefore," he says, "he hath mercy on whom he willeth,~and
52  25     |      he hardeneth." He showeth mercy out of his great goodness;
53  25     |       evil _because_ God "hath mercy on whom he willeth and whom
54  25     |         had not his undeserved mercy interposed. Thus every mouth
55  26     |  whether through pity "he hath mercy on whom ~he willeth," or
56  28     |     But, after the Fall, God's mercy was even more abundant,~
57  28     |      honorable use through his mercy, the ones for ignoble use
58  29     |    forget," they say, "to show mercy, nor in his anger will he
59  29     |      anger will he shut up~his mercy." This is, in fact, the
60  29     |     who are called "vessels of mercy,"~238 those who are freed
61  29     |       merits but through God's mercy. Even so, if they suppose
62  29     |       he does not "shut up his mercy." This is not to~put an
