For ye are our glory and joy.
] Or "our joy", as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions
read; this is a repetition, and a confirmation of what is before
said; and signifies that these saints were then the glory of the
apostles, being the seals of their ministry; and whom they
gloried of and rejoiced in, and hoped and believed they would be
such, as would be their joy and crown in time to come, and for
ever.
