Are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
The Apostle had proved they were carnal, and so incapable subjects for the sublimer Mysteries of Christ, by an enumeration of several sins, that did necessarily demonstrate this, upon which he makes a repetition, or re-enforcement of the Conclusion to be proved, Are ye not carnal? Where the Interrogation doth put more quickness and sharpness into his words. And for the further amplification and shame of them, he addeth; Do ye not walk as men. As if he had said, What a reproach and dishonour is it to you, who are called of God; who have put on Christ; who are sanctified by his Name; to be as other men of the world? Passionate as they are: Covetous, earthly, envious, and quarrelsome as they are.
