But this commandment seems only to speak of murder? In forbidding murder, God teaches us, that he abhors the causes thereof, such as envy, [305] hatred, [306] anger, [307] and desire of revenge; and that he accounts all these as murder. [308] Footnotes: [305] Prov. 14:30; Rom. 1:29. [306] 1 John 2:9, 11. [307] James 1:20; Gal. 5:19, 21. [308] 1 John 3:15. |
