Vers. 4 ❧I have no greater joys, then these, that is, to hear that my sons walk in the verity.
Ʋers. 4 ❧I haue no greater ioyes, then these, that is, to heare that my sonnes walke in the veritie.
1I Have no greater joy then these. That is: Nothing can touch my mind with greater joy, then if it come to pass, that I may hear my sons, whom I have begotten unto Christ through the Gospel, to follow the verity by us delivered. ⟨p. 14⟩And this truly is the joy of all Saints,2 but chiefly of the Ministers of the word, when they understand that the seed fell into good ground. But he calleth those here his sons, unto whom he hath preached the Gospel of Christ: which manner of speaking Paul often times useth.
