They are truly noble souls, who are easily accessible in Divine things.-ἀνακρίνοντες, searching) A characteristic of the true religion is, that it suffers itself to be examined into, and its claims to be so decided upon. [How wretched are they who exclude others from such searching scrutiny! How happy they who legitimately exercise that very right!-V. g.] Προθυμία καὶ ἀνάκρισις, readiness of mind and accurate scrutiny, well correspond.-ταῦτα, these things) which are expressed in Act 17:3.
