Calvin's on 1 Thessalonians 2:10

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

10 Ye are witnesses . He again calls God and them to witness, with the view of affirming his integrity, and cites, on the one hand, God as a witness of his conscience, and them, (532) on the other hand, as witnesses of what they had known by experience. How holily , says he, and justly , that is, with how sincere a fear of God, and with what fidelity and blamelessness towards men; and thirdly, unreproachably , by which he means that he had given no occasion of complaint or obloquy. For the servants of Christ cannot avoid calumnies, and unfavorable reports; for being hated by the world, they must of necessity be evil-spoken of among the wicked. Hence he restricts this to believers , who judge uprightly and sincerely, and do not revile malignantly and groundlessly.
