ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. Punished. Saint Augustine ep. 106. Some have read incorrectly: “Thou condemnest him who ought not to be punished, and deemest him a stranger to thy virtue,” which Saint Gregory (Mor. iii. 11.) explains of Jesus Christ, the victim of sinners; other, of people born in sin, (Lyran.) while some would hence prove the decree of reprobation. Duran.—But it is needless to explain a text which the Greek shews to be inaccurate. Calmet.
