On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Laws are as the law-makers are. God, the great lawgiver, is holy, just, and good, therefore his law must needs be so. The matter of it is holy: it commands holiness, encourages holiness; it is holy, for it is agreeable to the holy will of God, the original of holiness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The commandment - That is, every branch of the law. Is holy, and just, and good - It springs from, and partakes of, the holy nature of God; it is every way just and right in itself; it is designed wholly for the good of man.

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