6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,



Ver. 6. By pureness] By lamb-like simplicity or sincerity. Religion loves to lie clean, said one. Godliness must run through our whole lives as the woof doth through the web. See Isa_33:14. No gold or precious stone is so pure as the prudent mind of a pious man, said divine Plato. ïõôå ÷ñõóïò, ïõôå áäáìáò ïõôùò áóôñáðôåé ùóðåñ áãáèùí áíäñùí íïïò óõìöñáäìùí ~
