This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Ver. 3. Through the word, &c.] Which is the pruning knife, to lop off our luxuriances, rotten boughs, raw grapes, to pare off our gum of pride, moss of formality, Vinitoris cultellus ad sordes purgandas. (Col.) The word hid in the heart keeps from sin, as an amulet, Psa_119:11, and keeps youth from uncleanness, Joh_15:9; mixed with faith, it purgeth upon corruption, Act_15:9, and will not suffer men to rest in sin.
