See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Ver. 15. See that none render] Nothing is so natural to us; and Aristotle commends revenge as a piece of manhood, when indeed it is doghood rather. Excellently Lactantius, Non est minus mall referre iniuriam, quam inferre. It is as bad to recompense wrong as to do wrong. See Trapp on " Mat 5:44 " See Trapp on " Rom 12:17 "
But ever follow that which is good] Not to do good is to do evil; not to save a man when we can, is to destroy him, Mark 3:4. See Trapp on " Mar 3:4 "
