John 9:41

Verse 41. If ye were blind. If you were really blind--had had no opportunities of learning the truth. If you were truly ignorant, and were willing to confess it, and to come to me for instruction. No sin. You would not be guilty. Sin is measured by the capacities or ability of men, and by their opportunities of knowing the truth. If men had no ability to do the will of God, they could incur no blame. If they have all proper ability, and no disposition, God holds them to be guilty. This passage teaches conclusively, 1st. That men are not condemned for what they cannot do. 2nd. That the reason why they are condemned is that they are not disposed to receive the truth. 3rd.
