Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 8. Also the leading principles of such falsifications of truth are overcome as well as falsified truths themselves, namely the lust of falsifying; cunning by which falsity is mixed with truths; that which confirms and fixes such falsifications; the natural affection which delights in them; and that which gives the appearance of consistency to them, this involving the whole of such falsifications; and in addition falsity from the evil which misinterprets the Word is also overcome.
