    A SELECT LIBRARY OF THE NICENE AND POST-NICENE FATHERS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. EDITED BY PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D., LL.D., PROFESSOR OF CHURCH HISTORY IN THE UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, NEW YORK. IN CONNECTION WITH A NUMBER OF PATRISTIC SCHOLARS OF EUROPE AND AMERICA. VOLUME IX SAINT CHRYSOSTOM: ON THE PRIESTHOOD; ASCETIC TREATISES; SELECT HOMILIES AND LETTERS; HOMILIES ON THE STATUES T&T CLARK EDINBURGH __________________________________________________ WM. B. EERDMANS PUBLISHING COMPANY GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN PREFACE. __________ With this volume, we begin the Works of St. Chrysostom. It contains a sketch of his life and labors, the book on the priesthood, the letters to Theodore, the catechetical instructions, and a selection of ascetic treatises, special homilies, letters to Olympias and Innocent, and the twenty-one Homilies on the Statues. The translations are entirely new, or thoroughly revised, by the Rev. W. R. W. Stephens, whose services I was so fortunate as to secure. He has written the best biography of St. Chrysostom and is thoroughly at home in his writings. He has taken great pains, with the aid of two friends, the Rev. T. P. Brandram and Rev. R. Blackburn, and is responsible for the whole volume, with the exception of the Prolegomena, which I wrote myself, to correspond with the Prolegomena to the works of St. Augustin. The other volumes of St. Chrysostom in this series will be devoted to his exegetical Homilies on the greater part of the New Testament. Philip Schaff. New York, March, 1889.

  • A Brief Outline of Things to Come Compiled
    A Brief Outline of Things to Come Compiled by Theodore H. Epp Copyright @ 1952 Moody Bible Institute Chicago Chapter Seven - REWARDS - Norman H. Camp "Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour" (1 Corinthians 3:8). "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12). REWARDS ARE GIVEN for faithful service. Parents reward their children, teachers reward their scholars, and masters reward their servants to encourage and stimulate them in their labors and to express appreciation of the work done. Sometimes rewards are promised in advance, and sometimes they are given as a surprise; but they are based upon the services rendered or the sacrifices made. The character of a reward generally depends upon the generosity and the ability of the one who bestows it. Rewards differ from gifts. A gift is an expression of love and can never be claimed. A reward is bestowed because of labor performed and can always be claimed, if promised. Salvation is a gift; it can never be merited. It is bestowed by grace upon those who confess themselves to be unworthy sinners and receive the Son of GOD as their personal Saviour. Salvation is not a reward for good works, as some seem to think. "For by grace [unmerited favor] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). But rewards are promised by GOD to those who are saved by grace, and they are given according to the Christians' works after they are saved.
