16 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 19:16

Commentary on Proverbs 19:16

(Read Proverbs 19:16)

If we keep God's word, God's word will keep us from every thing really hurtful. We abuse the doctrine of free grace, if we think that it does away the necessity and advantage of obedience. Those that live at random must die. This truth is clearly taught in words enough to alarm the stoutest sinner.
