But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Ver. 15. In all manner of conversation] Our very civilities must savour of sanctity, and our common conversation relish of religion. St Paul's civil conversation, πολιτευμα, was in heaven, Philippians 3:20. Holiness must be written upon our bridles when we war; upon our cups when we drink,Zechariah 14:20,21. It is said of a certain Scotch divine, that he did even eat, and drink, and sleep eternal life.
