30. Ye also who have not yet
made this vow, who are able to receive it, receive it.20932093 Run with
perseverance, that ye may obtain.20942094 Take ye each his sacrifices, and
enter ye into the courts20952095 of the Lord, not of necessity,
having power over your own will.20962096 For not as, “Thou shall not
commit adultery, Thou shall not kill,”20972097 can it so be said, Thou shalt not
wed. The former are demanded, the latter are offered. If the latter
are done, they are praised: unless the former are done, they are
condemned. In the former the Lord commands us what is due; but in
the latter, if ye shall have spent any thing more, on His return He
will repay you.20982098 Think of
(whatever that be) within His wall “a place named, much better
than of sons and of daughters.”20992099 Think of “an eternal name”
there.21002100 Who
unfolds of what kind that name shall be? Yet, whatever it shall be,
it shall be eternal. By believing and hoping and loving this, ye
have been able, not to shun marriage, as forbidden, but to fly past
it, as allowed.
