Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 2Pet 2:21
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
2Pet 2:21 · Douay-Rheims
“For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them.”
On this verse:
“the way of righteousness--"the way of truth" (Pe2 2:2). Christian doctrine, and "the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour." turn--back again; so the Greek. from the holy commandment--the Gospel which enjoins holiness; in opposition to their corruption. "Holy," not that it makes holy, but because it ought to be kept inviolate [TITTMANN]. delivered--once for all; admitting no turning back.”
