This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Liberty (eleutherian). Promising “personal liberty,” that is license, after the fashion of advocates of liquor today, not the freedom of truth in Christ (Joh 8:32; Gal 5:1, Gal 5:13).
Themselves bondservants (autoi douloi). “Themselves slaves” of corruption and sin as Paul has it in Rom 6:20.
Of whom (hōi). Instrumental case, but it may mean “of what.”
Is overcome (hēttētai). Perfect passive indicative of hēttaō (from hēttōn, less) old verb, in N.T. only here, 2Pe 2:20; 2Co 12:13.
Of the same (toutōi). “By this one (or thing).”
Is brought into bondage (dedoulōtai). Perfect passive indicative of douloō. Like Paul again (Rom 6:16, Rom 6:18; Rom 8:21).
