A religious temper, a reverent mind marks the true child of grace. His soul is full of the loving fear of God. In the new humanity, in the type of man that will prevail in the latter days when the truth as in Jesus has been learnt by mankind, justice and piety will hold a balanced sway. The man of the coming times will not be atheistic or agnostic: he will be devout. He will not be narrow and self-seeking; he will not be pharisaic and pretentious, practising the world's ethics with the Christian's creed: he will be upright and generous, manly and godlike.
[118] Quid si post =houtôs= distinctionem ascribas? _Vos autem non ita_ (subaudi _facere convenit_), _qui didicistis_, etc.
[119] Comp. Numb. xii. 7; Ps. i. 4; Luke xxii. 26, for this Hebraistic turn of expression.

Renan's faults are many and deplorable; but he is a writer of genius and of candour. His rationalism teems with precious inconsistencies. One hears in him always the Church bells ringing under the sea, the witness of a faith buried in the heart and never silenced, to which he confesses touchingly in the Preface to his _Souvenirs_.
[124] =ananeousthai de tô pneumati tou noos hymôn, kai endysasthai to kainon anthrôpon, to kata Theo ktisthenta.=
[125] Comp. pp. 29, 30.
[126] It is important to distinguish the Greek adjectives =hagios= and =hosios=, with their derivatives. See Cremer's _N. T. Lexicon_ on these words, and Trench's _N. T. Synonyms_, § lxxxviii. Of the latter word, 1 Thess. ii. 10; 1 Tim. i. 9, ii. 8; 2 Tim. iii. 3; Tit. i. 8 are the only examples in St Paul.
