We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him. Matthew Henry
Personal and relative duties must be done in obedience to his commands, with due aim at pleasing and honouring him, from principles of holy love and fear of him. But there is an express and direct duty also that we owe to God, namely, belief and acknowledgement of his being and perfections, paying him internal and external worship and homage - loving, fearing, and trusting in Him - depending on Him, and devoting ourselves to Him - observing all those religious duties and ordinances that He... Matthew Henry
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved. Matthew Henry
Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him. Matthew Henry

Here is bread, which strengthens man's heart, and therefore is called the staff of Life. Matthew Henry
God’s work must be done, in every thing, according to his own will. His institutions neither need nor admit men’s inventions to make them either more beautiful or more likely to answer the intention of them. 'Add thou not unto his words.' God is pleased with willing worship, but not with will-worship. Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry quote: "The fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul."
The fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul. Matthew Henry
Cast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his work, honor our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him. Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry quote: "Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears..."
Gratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears peculiarly graceful when associated with beauty. Matthew Henry
It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but it is an evidence of strong faith and resolution to swim against a stream to heaven, and to appear for God when no one else appears for Him. Matthew Henry
It is not fit the public trusts should be lodged in the hands of any, till they are first proved and found fit for the business they are to be entrusted with. Matthew Henry
A modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are. Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry quote: "Men of polite learning and a liberal education."
Men of polite learning and a liberal education. Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry quote: "It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we..."
