COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
− 29. Having much reasoning. No doubt, the wicked were more nettled because he cited the prophecy against them; for they are so far from waxing meek when they are reproved, that they are more inflamed with fury. This is the reason why they reasoned − (687) when they were gone out from Paul, because the more part would not be quiet. But seeing there was such disputing, it appeareth that some did so embrace those things which Paul had spoken, that they doubted not to defend and stoutly to avouch that which they believed. But it is in vain for any man to object thereupon, that the gospel of Christ is the seed of contention, which cometh undoubtedly from man’s pride and waywardness; and assuredly, if we will have peace with God, we must strive against − (688) those which contemn him. − (687) − “ Disceptaverunt ,” disputed. (688) − “ Bellare necesse est ,” we must of necessity war with. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-30" class="com-number"
