Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 15. It should be remembered that what is spiritual in the soul was oppressed in the natural unregenerate state of the mind, and that it has been liberated by the Divine Love and Wisdom leading the mind in all the operations of Providence with Divine Omnipotence; and the object of all these operations of Divine Love and Wisdom should be ever present in the mind, namely, the sanctification of the soul by conjunction with the Lord.
