Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 25:2

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

2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish —They are not distinguished into good and bad, as TRENCH observes, but into "wise" and "foolish"—just as in :- those who reared their house for eternity are distinguished into "wise" and "foolish builders"; because in both cases a certain degree of goodwill towards the truth is assumed. To make anything of the equal number of both classes would, we think, be precarious, save to warn us how large a portion of those who, up to the last, so nearly resemble those that love Christ's appearing will be disowned by Him when He comes. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
