A promiscuous multitude, unwilling to bear true Christianity, labour under the wildest ignorance; nor do we even except those, who boast no ordinary attainments in virtue and knowledge.-V. g.]-ἐν αὐτοῖς) among them: The word, them, is not to be referred to the word, some, but to the branches generally.-συγκοινωνὸς) Paul often uses σὺν concerning the Gentiles, Eph 2:19; Eph 2:22; Eph 3:6; comp. μετὰ, Rom 15:10.
