ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Not. Only to God and his minister. Friends do not require to be informed of such things. Greek “disclose not the conduct of others.”—Be. Greek “be not.” Do not boast of sins which thou hast not committed, ( Calmet.) as Saint Augustine did before his conversion. Bible.—But the Vulg. seems preferable. Calmet.—In ordinary conversation to reveal our faults would be dangerous, but not in confession, or in religious orders, for advancement in virtue. Worthington.
