Let us be sharpened to the greater zeal in well-doing by the shortness of ours. them who are of the household —Every right-minded man does well to the members of his own family ( 1 Timothy 5:8 ); so believers are to do to those of the household of faith, that is, those whom faith has made members of "the household of God" ( Ephesians 2:19 ): "the house of God" ( 1 Timothy 3:15 ; 1 Peter 4:17 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
