| Matthew 24:37 | *And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Genesis 7:7.; Luke 17:26. | \f + \fr 24:37-38\ft And as it was. The same shall take place at the coming of the Son of man at the last day, as at the general deluge. For, as then they indulged their appetites, unmindful of the fate that was attending them, gamountes kai ekgamizontes, marrying and given in marriage, solely occupied with the concerns of this life, and indifferent to those of the next; so shall it be at the end of the world. They are not here accused of gross sins, but of a supine security of their salvation, as is evident from what follows. (Jansenius) |
