20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him: he is unclean.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 20. But the man of the church who is conscious of his impurity, and yet deliberately remains in it must of necessity be separated from all interior truths and good affections, because he has profaned the holy principles of the church, and has not confessed that of himself he is nothing but evil without which his impurity must remain.
