**Verse 4**
*In himself alone, and not in another;* that is, his sources of joy shall be within himself.

**Verse 5**
*For every man,* &c.; that is, his happiness must depend upon his own inward character.

**Verse 6**
*Communicate;* share with; that is, let the taught provide for the comfortable subsistence of their teachers.

**Verse 7**
*Is not mocked;* cannot be deceived.

**Verse 12**
*To make a fair show in the flesh;* to make an outward display of sanctity.

**Verse 13**
*In your flesh;* in your ceremonial observances.

**Verse 17**
*The marks;* the proofs that I am his. He refers, doubtless, to the marks of bodily injury which he had sustained in the service of Christ.
