Men that have hazarded their lives
As at Antioch, in Pisidia, where a persecution was raised against
them, and they were expelled out of the coasts of that place; and
at Lystra, where Paul was stoned, and left for dead, ( Acts 13:50 ) ( 14:19 ) and this they
did, not for any sinister and selfish ends, for any worldly gain,
or vain glory, and popular applause, but
for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the sake of his Gospel, and the enlargement of his interest,
and kingdom in the world; and therefore were worthy of esteem,
and ought to be regarded and attended to, and greatly to be
preferred to false teachers; who only sought themselves, their
worldly honour, and ease, and would sacrifice nothing, nor hazard
anything, for the sake of Christ.
