Before God who searcheth the heart. What that comprehended is next explained.

Walking - a familiar Biblical term denoting the habitual tenor of one's life, (Psalms 1:1, etc.)

In all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord - the one denoting the moral, the other the ceremonial precepts of the law-a distinction which it is falsely alleged that the ancient Jews were strangers to (see the note at Mark 12:33; and see Ezekiel 11:20; Hebrews 9:1).

Blameless - irreproachable.
