Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 16. Neither shall he violate charity by first assuming friendliness to others, and then descending into the meanness of exposing their errors, when they are, as yet, in a state of truth leading to good; nor corrupt the spiritual life of those in good by preventing their reception of the interior truth they need for conjunction with their good, which they have from the Lord.
