Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 5:41
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
41.

But the thing here demanded is a readiness to submit to unreasonable demands of whatever kind, rather than raise quarrels, with all the evils resulting from them. What follows is a beautiful extension of this precept. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-42" class="com-number"
