Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 7. Wherefore also those who are confirmed in the evil of adulterated good and in its falsities, in such a state of the church or of the individual, seek to gain communication with those who teach truth from selfish principles, by exerting and stimulating in them the love of reward, and having done so, to scatter the fears of adulterated good, and aid those who desire to throw off the influence of the spiritual man.
