As this verse hath reference to that which was deliuered before, concerning our dutie to God, it teacheth vs this lesson:
It is the duty of Christians as to set forth the praise of God, so to be serviceable one to another. For this purpose in the 1Decalogue to the first table, which prescribeth that duty which we owe to God, is added the second table, which declareth the service that we owe one to another: and he that said, bThe first and great Commandment is this, Thou shalt love the Lord, &c. said also, The second is like to this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, &c. whereupon the cApostle declaring what those sacrifices be wherewith God is well pleased, joineth these two together, to give thanks to God, and to do good to man. The service which in the fear of God we perform one to another, is an evident and real demonstration of the respect we bear unto God.
