VER. 4.

Τετύφωται, μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλὰ νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας· ἐξ ὧν γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί,

* He is proud, knowing nothing, b but † doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

* Or, a fool.

+ Or, sick.

a Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise, 1 Cor. iii. 18. Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know, viii. 1, 2. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself, Gal. vi. 3. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility, and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, Col. ii. 18.

VER. 5.

Παραδιατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν, καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων.

* Perverse disputings of a men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

b See on Luke iii. ver. 14. clause 2. VER. 7.

Οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα.

a For we brought nothing into this world, b and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

a And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD, Job i. 21. As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? Eccles. v. 15, 16.*

b For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him, Psal. xlix. 17. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God, Luke xii. 19-21.

b For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia, 2 Tim. iv. 10. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core, Jude 11.

VER. 11.

Σὺ δὲ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε τοῦ Θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε· δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονὴν, πραότητα.

But thou, a O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

* That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works, 2 Tim. iii. 17.

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work, 1 Tim. v. 10. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another, Rom. xiv. 19. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy, 1 Cor. xiv. 1. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoeyer things are lovely, whatsoever

be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by
the river, and shall not see when heat
cometh, but her leaf shall be green;

drought, neither shall cease from
