This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Be ye also patient; viz. in expectation of your harvest, and the fruit of your labours, as the husbandman is in looking for his.
Stablish your hearts; let your hearts be stedfast in faith and constant in holiness, encouraging yourselves to both by the coming of the Lord.
For the coming of the Lord draweth nigh; as before, his coming to the general judgment, which is said to be nigh, because of the certainty of its coming, and the uncertainty of the time when it will come, and because it is continually drawing on, and the whole time of the world’s duration till then is but short in comparison of the eternity following; and likewise because the particular judgment of every man is nigh at hand. See Phi_4:5 Heb_10:37.
