For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Ver. 10. For menstealers] That steal away other men's children; so those that steal other men's books and writings, and set them out in their own name; as one dealt by Diagoras, who thereupon, out of discontent (because he that had done it was not presently stricken with a thunderbolt), became an atheist. (Diod. Sic.) So Fabricius stole Tremellius' Syriac translation, Villa Vincantius stole Hyperius' Treatise De ratione studii Theologici, and Possevinus recently translated Dr James's Cyprianus redivivus into his Apparatus Theologicus, and made it his own doing. Sic vos non vobis.
And if there be any other thing] For the apostle took no delight to mention more of this cursed crew; but leaves them to the law to handle and hamper them, as unruly beasts, dogs, lions, leopards, are chained and caged up that they may not do mischief.
