This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





For so is the will of God; his command.



That with well-doing; all manner of offices of humanity, whereof obedience to magistrates is a principal one.



Ye may put to silence; Greek, muzzle, stop the mouths, Tit_1:11; viz. by taking away all occasion of evil-speaking.



The ignorance; either their ignorance of the state and conversation of believers, which may be the occasion of their speaking evil of them; or their ignorance of God and his ways, to which Christ imputes the fury of persecutors, Joh_16:3. They that know not God themselves, are most ready to reproach and slander those that do.



Of foolish men; true wisdom consisting in the knowledge of God, they that are destitute of that knowledge, as unbelievers are, are called foolish.
