On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

), that is, he was both cordial and constant in his religion. What he did for God he was sincere in, steady and uniform, and did it from a good principle, with a single eye to the glory of God.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This affords us a comfortable note, That those may be found honest and upright with God, and be accepted of him, who yet, in some instances, come short of doing the good they might and should do. The perfection which is made the indispensable condition of the new covenant is not to be understood of sinlessness (then we were all undone), but sincerity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
