So that a ye come behind in no gift waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

A. D. 59.

of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it, v. 23, 24. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless, 2 Pet. iii. 14. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 24.

c Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ, Phil. i. 6. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, 10. Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, ii. 16. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent beat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up, 2 Pet. iii. 10.

Gr. revelation.

a For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong, 2 Cor.

xii. 13.

b See on 1 Thess. i. ver. 10. clause 1.

VER. 8.

*Ος καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἕως τέλους ἀνεγκλήτους ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

a Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

See on Rom. xiv. ver. 4. clause 2, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? Rom. viii. 33. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blemish, Eph. v. 27. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the And that you, world, Phil. ii. 15. were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight, Col. i. 21, 22. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints, 1 Thess. iii. 13. And the very God

VER. 9.

Πιστὸς ὁ Θεὸς, δι ̓ οὗ ἐκλήθητε εἰς κοινωνίαν τοῦ ὑιοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.

a God is faithful, bby whom ye were called unto the fellowship of d'his Son

Jesus Christ our Lord.

a Know, therefore, that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him, and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut. vii. 9. Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds, Psal. xxxvi. 5. Nevertheless my lov ing-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail, lxxxix. 33. Great is thy faithfulness, Lam. iii. 23. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, 1 Cor. x. 13. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it, 1 Thess. v. 24. But the Lord

[blocks in formation]

is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil, 2 Thess, iii. 3. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; he cannot deny himself, 2 Tim. ii. 13. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Heb. x. 23. Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator, 1 Pet. iv. 19. And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True ; and in righteousness doth he judge and make war, Rev. xix. 11.

VER. 10. Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ λέγητε πάντες, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ἐν ὑμῖν σχίσματα, ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοὶ καὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμη.

a Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no * divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

A. D. 59.

ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren, vi. 6-8. For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you, xi. 18, 19.

VER. 12.

Λέγω δὲ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἕκαστος ὑμῶν λέγει· Ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἐγὼ δὲ ̓Απολλῶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Κηφᾶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Χριστοῦ.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

VER. 13.

Μεμέρισται ὁ Χριστὸς; μὴ Παῦλος ἐσταυρώθη ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἡ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα Παύλου ἐβαπτίσθητε;

Is Christ divided? was Paul cruci

fed for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

VER. 14.

Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ ὅτι οὐδένα ὑμῶν εβάπτισα, εἰ μὴ Κρίσπον καὶ Γάϊον I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius ;

And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his house; and many of the

VER. 11.

Εδηλώθη γάρ μοι περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί μου, ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης, ὅτι ἔριδες ἐν ὑμῖν εἰσι.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, a that there are contentions among you.

a For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one

saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 1 Cor. iii. 3, 4. But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another, Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do

b See on Rom. xvi. ver. 23. clause 1. VER. 15.

Ινα μή τις εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβάπτισα.

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

VER. 16.

Ἐβάπτισα δὲ καὶ τὸν Στεφανᾶ οἶκον· λοιπὸν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα ἄλλον ἐβάπτισα.

And I baptized also a the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

a I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every
