Verse 9
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Ver. 9. Railing for railing ] Convitium convitio regerere, quid aliud est quam lutum luto purgare? saith one. To render railing for railing, is to think to wash off dirt with dirt.
That ye should inherit a blessing ] Blessings by words, properly, ευλογιαν . They that will speak good words to men, shall hear good words from God; they shall have his good word for them in all places, and in the hearts of their greatest enemies, as Jacob and Job had.
