On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Note, (1.) Faithful reproofs, if they do not profit, usually provoke; if they do not do good, they are resented as affronts, and they that will not bow to the reproof, will fly in the face of the reprover and hate him, as Ahab hated Micaiah, 1 Kings xxii. Veritas odium parit--Truth produces hatred. (2.) It is no new thing for God's ministers to suffer ill for doing well.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

For this sin John reproved him; not by tacit and oblique allusions, but in plain terms, It is not lawful for thee to have her. He charges it upon him as a sin; not, It is not honourable, or, It is not safe, but, It is not lawful; the sinfulness of sin, as it is the transgression of the law, is the worst thing in it.
