Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Blessed are those that trust in him, and in his righteousness alone, and respect not the proud Pharisees, that set up their own righteousness in competition with that, that will not be governed by their dictates, nor turn aside to lies, with the unbelieving Jews, who submit not to the righteousness of God, Rom. x. Blessed are those that escape this temptation.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

2:12). respecteth--literally, "turns towards," as an object of confidence. turn aside--from true God and His law to falsehood in worship and conduct.

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

Turn - From God, in whom alone they ought to trust. To lies - To lying vanities, such as worldly power and wisdom, and riches, and all other earthly things, or persons, in which men are prone to trust: which are called lies, because they promise more than they perform.
