On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This confession seems to include faith in the heart as the foundation of it, acknowledgment with the mouth to the glory of God and Christ, and profession in the life and conduct, in opposition to the flatteries or frowns of the world. Thus no man says that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost, by the external attestation and internal operation of the Holy Ghost, 1 Cor. xii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

shall confess--once for all: so the Greek aorist means. that Jesus is the Son of God--and therefore "the Saviour of the world" (1Jo 4:14).
