1 Thessalonians 2:10

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also , how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Ver. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also ] Happy is that man that can be acquitted by himself in private, in public by others, in both by God: bystanders may see more.

How holily, and justly, and unblameably ] Here he practised his own precepts, Titus 2:12 . And herein lies the difference between divinity and other sciences, that it is not enough to prescribe it, but you must practise it, as lessons of music, and as a copy must not be read only, but acted also.
