Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 46. And thus too, in the course of regeneration the natural affection may be controlled by the spiritual powers, and may become truly subordinate; and indeed, the natural powers are continually subordinate; but the natural powers which are subordinate willingly, from spiritual motives, are not to be controlled from selfish motives or from truth without good.
