On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It was the sincere and uncorrupted gospel that he preached and exhorted them to believe and obey. His design was not to set up a faction, to draw men over to a party, but to promote pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father. The gospel he preached was without deceit, it was true and faithful; it was not fallacious, nor a cunningly-devised fable.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
