On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The errand or exhortation itself, namely, to comply with the gospel offers of reconciliation--that, being favoured with the gospel, they would not receive this grace of God in vain,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
