This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Let us walk honestly - “becomingly,” “seemingly”
as in the day - “Men choose the night for their revels, but our night is past, for we are all the children of the light and of the day (1Th 5:5): let us therefore only do what is fit to be exposed to the light of such a day.”
not in rioting and drunkenness - varied forms of intemperance; denoting revels in general, usually ending in intoxication.
not in chambering and wantonness - varied forms of impurity; the one pointing to definite acts, the other more general.
not in strife and envying - varied forms of that venomous feeling between man and man which reverses the law of love.
