Paul of "godliness" that it "has the promise of the life that now is, as well as of that which is to come" ( 1Timothy 4:8). The words so interpreted are, therefore, a promise that obedience "in the Lord" to the great natural law on which society rests, shall bring with it reward on earth just as our Lord tells us of "meekness" that it shall "inherit the earth" ( Matthew 5:5), and St. Paul at once generalises the application and determines it to the earth, and not to "the good land" of heaven. But by the omission of the limiting words, "which the Lord thy God hath given thee," St. The quotation is but slightly varied from Exodus 20:12 Deuteronomy 5:16.
