Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
An anticipation of the highest standard of ethical refinement Matthew 18:15, but with a difference.

In the teaching of Christ the precept rests upon the divine authority and the perfect example. return to 'Top of Page'
