24 Then ye shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they may die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt remove evil from among you.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 24. Then the mind must be brought back into that state in which the doctrines of the Church were first received, and the falsity with its perverted affection must be destroyed with truths from the Word; the affection because it did not take refuge in the doctrines which had been acknowledged, and the falsity because it had drawn away the affections of the mind from its love of the holy truth of the Church; and thus shall evil be put away from the soul.
