Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

That not they only, but all other sinners like them, should perish under a divine woe. Those that are covetous, are greedy of wealth and honours,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This is quoted in the New Testament ( Rom. i. 38 ), for the proof of the great doctrine of justification by faith only and of the influence which the grace of faith has upon the Christian life. Those that are made just by faith shall live, shall be happy here and for ever; while they are here, they live by it; when they come to heaven faith shall be swallowed up in vision.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The Hebrew accents induce BENGEL to translate, "he who is just by his faith shall live." Other manuscripts read the accents as English Version, which agrees better with Hebrew syntax.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Which is lifted up - That proudly contests with the justice and wisdom of the Divine Providence, and provides for his own safety by his own wit. The just - The humble and upright one, who adores the depth of divine providence, and is persuaded of the truth of divine promises.
