This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For your obedience - that is, tractableness
is come abroad unto all. I am glad therefore on your behalf - “I rejoice therefore over you,” seems the true reading.
but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple - “harmless,” as in Mat 10:16, from which the warning is taken.
concerning - “unto”
evil - “Your reputation among the churches for subjection to the teaching ye have received is to me sufficient ground of confidence in you; but ye need the serpent’s wisdom to discriminate between transparent truth and plausible error, with that guileless simplicity which instinctively cleaves to the one and rejects the other.”
