This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Using (ἔχοντες)
Lit., having or holding.
Cloke (ἐπικάλυμμα)
Only here in New Testament. Lit., a veil. The idea is that of using Christian freedom as a mask for ungodly license. Paul uses the kindred verb (Rom 4:7) of the covering of sins. On the sentiment, compare Gal 5:13.
