EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Sin, provided faith, and so forth be not wanting. Menochius.—When the Scripture seems to attribute salvation to one virtue, to faith, repentance, and so forth it always presupposes that the heart is free from all mortal guilt. Bible.—Alms deeds may procure a fresh supply of graces. Menochius.—Darkness, or hell, which is thus represented. Matthew 8:12 and 22:13. Ephesians 6:12.
