"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nations which have put mankind and posterity most in their debt have been small states Israel, Athens, Florence, Elizabethan ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47832]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nations which have put mankind and posterity most in their debt have been small states Israel, Athens, Florence, Elizabethan England]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is forever poised between a cliché and an indiscretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20759]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is forever poised between a cliché and an indiscretion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their claim was to target this poor man and four of my brothers.
