If any of you do err from the truth,— The Christian revelation is often called truth, as containing themost important truths, such as lead men to holiness and happiness. That manner of life which the gospel prescribes, is here compared to a plain path; and such as departed from it into the crooked paths of unholiness or vice, were carefully to be brought under the power of Divine grace into the right way again, by the friendly admonitions and good example of those who had not wandered out of the way. See Galatians 6:1. 2 Timothy 2:24-25.
