EXPLANATION

Verse 7. Ignorances. Hebrew “defects,” as youth is more apt to omit duties than to act very wickedly. Yet it is difficult to decide how grievous such sins may be. Bert.—Passion and ignorance then concur to lead the inexperienced astray. Bible.—From the first use of reason, many are careless, and neglect to learn their duty. Worthington.—Ignorance is sometimes a sin, though it may be more pardonable. 1 Timothy 1. Menochius.
