Awake — An exclamation full of apostolical majesty. Shake off your lethargy! To righteousness — Which flows from the true knowledge of God, and implies that your whole soul be broad awake. And sin not — That is, and ye will not sin Sin supposes drowsiness of soul. There is need to press this. For some among you have not the knowledge of God — With all their boasted knowledge, they are totally ignorant of what it most concerns them to know. I speak this to your shame — For nothing is more shameful, than sleepy ignorance of God, and of the word and works of God; in these especially, considering the advantages they had enjoyed.
