This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Wounding their conscience (tuptontes autōn tēn suneidēsin). Old verb tuptō, to smite with fist, staff, whip. The conscience is sensitive to a blow like that, a slap in the face.
Ye sin against Christ (eis Christon hamartanete). That fact they were overlooking. Jesus had said to Saul that he was persecuting him when he persecuted his disciples (Act 9:5). One may wonder if Paul knew the words of Jesus in Mat 25:40, “ye did it unto me.”
