2 Timothy ii, 19.

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: The Lord knoweth them that are his. And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
The rendering of Dr. Macknight gives the following reading on this verse:
“‘The Lord will make known them who are his.’ These are nearly the words which Moses spake to Korah and his company, who endeavored to overturn his authority. Num. xvi, 6. The Lord will show who are his, which the LXX have translated as the apostle hath done. “‘The Lord will make known them who are his.’”
In accordance with this the prophet says, “Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.” Mal. iii, 18. It will be a glorious thing, in the coming day, to be owned of God.
