EXPLANATION

Verse 1. The apostle proceeds in this chapter to shew how great a benefit it is to be truly justified by the coming of Christ.—Let us have [1] peace with God. That is, says Saint John Chrysostom by laying aside all contentions. Or let us have peace with God by sinning no more. And this peace we may have under the greatest tribulations, which conduce to our greater good, to an increase in virtues, in patience, in hope, in the love of God, and so forth Witham.
