On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

When as he saith, that he breathed out threatenings and slaughter as yet, his meaning is, that after that his hands were once imbued with innocent blood, he proceeded in like cruelty, and was always a furious and bloody enemy to the Church, after that he had once made that entrance whereof mention is made in the death of Stephen.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

The matter of the persecution was threatenings and slaughter. There is persecution in threatenings ( ch. iv. 17, 21 ); they terrify and break the spirit: and though we say, Threatened folks live long, yet those whom Saul threatened, if he prevailed not thereby to frighten them from Christ, he slew them, he persecuted them to death, ch. xxii.
