We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.
Matthew SimpsonTaking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.
Matthew SimpsonIf I know that I shall be as an angel, and more; if I shall behold all God has made; if he shall own me for his son and exalt me to honor in his presence, I shall not fear to die, nor shall I dread the grave where Christ once lay.
Matthew Simpson
