Verse 49
every one shall be salted with fire . Occurs only here in N.T.
every sacrifice , &c. Some texts omit this clause, but not the Syriac Reference to Pentateuch (Leviticus 2:13 ). This is intro duced by "For", as a reason why the lesser (finite and temporal) evil is "good" compared with the greater (and final) evil. Every sacrifice is salted (to assist the burning), Deuteronomy 29:23 . It is better therefore to endurethe removal of the stumbling-block now, than to be altogether destroyed for ever.
