Bible Comments

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. The way of righteousness - "the way of truth" (2 Peter 2:2): "the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour." Turn - back again х eis (G1519) ta (G3588) opisoo (G3694)], 'Aleph (') A, Vulgate; omitted in B C. From the holy commandment - the Gospel, which enjoins holiness: in opposition to their corruption х hagias (G40)]. Not that it makes holy, but because it ought to be kept inviolate.

Delivered - once for all.
