6. rejoiceth in the truth —rather, "rejoiceth with the truth." Exults not at the perpetration of iniquity (unrighteousness) by others (compare Genesis 9:22 ; Genesis 9:23 ), but rejoices when the truth rejoices; sympathizes with it in its triumphs ( Genesis 9:23- : ). See the opposite ( 2 Timothy 3:8 ), "Resist the truth." So "the truth" and "unrighteousness" are contrasted ( 2 Timothy 3:8- : ). "The truth" is the Gospel truth, the inseparable ally of love ( Ephesians 4:15 ; 2 John 1:12 ). The false charity which compromises "the truth" by glossing over "iniquity" or unrighteousness is thus tacitly condemned ( Proverbs 17:15 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
