12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.

13 All the saints salute you.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the com

nirunion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

12 Ασπάσασθε αλληλους εν ἅγιῳ φιληματι.

13 Ασπάζονται μας δι ἅγιοι παντες.

14 Ἡ χαρις του Κυρίου Ιησου Χριςου, και ἡ αγαπή του Θεού και ἡ κοινωνια του ἅγιου πνευματος μετα παν των ύμων. Αμην.

venge or private pique, but for reforming the vicious, and for supporting the cause of truth and virtue.

Ver. 9.1. Even your restoration. The word καταρτίζειν, properly sig nifies to reduce a dislocated member to its right place in the body: also to restore and make things whole which have been broken, Matth. iv. 21. Gal. vi. 1. Ezr. iv. 12, 13. LXX. The word therefore, is applied with great propriety to a church, in which many of its members had misbehaved and put themselves out of their places.

Ver.11.—1. Be ye restored. The original word καταρτίζεσθε, may be translated Be ye fully restored : namely, by repentance and reformation.

2. Mind the same thing. Wall is of opinion, that το αυτο φρονειτε, should be translated, Be unanimous, namely, in your deliberations on all matters relating to your union as a church. But I rather think the apostle's meaning is, that they should set their affections on the same great objects, namely, the glory of God, and the interests of the gospel. See 1 Cor. i. 10. where the same exhortation is given.

12 When ye meet, or part, Salute one another with an holy kiss, in token of that pure love which ye bear to one another, as the disciples of Christ.

13 All the disciples of Christ who are with me, send their good wishes to you.

14 Receive ye my apostolical benediction: The favour of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the common fruition of the gifts and aids of the Holy Ghost, be ever with you all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Ver. 14.-1. The communion of the Holy Ghost. Κοινωνία του άγιο πνευ par. For the different senses of the word novavia, see 1 John i. 3. note 3. Here it signifies, as in the commentary, the joint fruition or the participation of the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit. This the apostle wished to the Corinthians, that in all their public transactions they might be animated by one spirit.
