Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.
'PART NOR LOT'-'You have no share or part' (TCNT)
'IN THIS MATTER'-Not in the matter of salvation, as previously noted. But rather in the matter under consideration, i.e. the spiritual gifts.
'FOR THY HEART IS NOT RIGHT BEFORE GOD'-Notice that God doesn't miraculously remove every wrong desire and impure motive when we become Christians.
