On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This was so much the worse because the Messiah was to descend from Judah, and, had he not been guilty of this wickedness, he might have had the honour of being one of his ancestors. Note, Those sins that dishonour the body and defile it are very displeasing to God and evidences of vile affections.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Those sins that dishonour the body are very displeasing to God, and the evidence of vile actions. Observe, the thing which he did displeased the Lord - And it is to be feared, thousands, especially of single persons, by this very thing, still displeased the Lord, and destroy their own souls.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
