Verse 18
18. warning . . . speakest to warn—The repetition implies that it is not enough to warn once in passing, but that the warning is to be inculcated continually ( :-, "in season, out of season"; :-, "night and day with tears").
save— :- had seemingly taken away all hope of salvation; but the reference there was to the mass of the people whose case was hopeless; a few individuals, however, were reclaimable.
die in . . . iniquity— (John 8:21; John 8:24). Men are not to flatter themselves that their ignorance, owing to the negligence of their teachers, will save them (John 8:24- :, "As many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law").
