This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The truth; the truth of God revealed in the gospel as the complete rule of faith and life: see the gospel called the truth by way of eminency, Jam_1:18 Gal_2:5,14 3:1 5:7 Eph_1:13 1Pe_1:22.



And one; any one, minister or private believer, who may be an instrument in the conversion of others; though one acts by way of authority, the other by way of charity, yet both out of duty.



Convert him; viz. ministerially or instrumentally, in subordination to God. The work is his, Eph_2:10, but often is ascribed to the instruments acting under him, and using means appointed by him, and by which he works, Act_26:18.
