CONVINCE . Adams ( Serm . ii. 38) says: ‘Whatsoever is written is written either for our instruction or destruction; to convert us if we embrace it, to convince us if we despise it.’ This is the meaning of ‘convince’ in the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . It is what we now express by convict . Thus Judges 1:15 ‘to convince all that are ungodly among them of their ungodly deeds.’
