This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

I commend

See on 1Pe 4:19.

Build you up

A metaphor in constant use by Paul, and preserved in the words edify, edification (Latin, aedes, “a house,” and facere, “to make”) by which οἰκοδομέω and its kindred words are frequently rendered. In old English the word edify was used in its original sense of build. Thus Wycliffe renders Gen 2:22, “The Lord God edified the rib which he took of Adam, into a woman.”

So, too, Spenser:

“a little wide

There was a holy temple edified.”

Faerie Queene, i., 1, 114.
