Verse 3. Trieth you, not in order to induce you to embrace evil, (Jam. 1:13,) nor to discover your real dispositions, but to lay open your hearts to yourselves and to the world, ( Bible.) that, if you continue steadfast, others may be encouraged to imitate you; but if you fall, they may take warning, and stand with all humility and circumspection. Calmet.—Appear. Hebrew “to know, or to disclose.” Menochius.
