| not . . . garments--like the "fig leaves" wherewith Adam and Eve vainly tried to cover their shame, as contrasted with "the coats of skins" which the Lord God made to clothe them with (Isa 64:6; Rom 13:14; Gal 3:27; Phi 3:9). The artificial self-deceiving sophisms of human philosophy (Ti1 6:5; Ti2 2:16, Ti2 2:23). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Their webs shall not become garments - The spider's web is unfit for clothing; and the idea here is, that their works are as unfit to secure salvation as the attenuated web of a spider is for raiment. The sense is, says Vitringa, that their artificial sophisms avail nothing in producing true wisdom, piety, virtue, and religion, or the true righteousness and salvation of people, but are airy speculations. The works of the self-righteous and the wicked; their vain formality, their false opinions, their subtle reasonings, and their traditions, are like the web of the spider. They bide nothing, they answer none of the purposes of a garment of salvation. The doctrine is, that people must have some better righteousness than the thin and gossamer covering which their own empty forms and ceremonies produce (compare Isa 64:6). |

23 But [1161] foolish [3474] and [2532] unlearned [521] questions [2214] avoid [3868], knowing [1492] that [3754] they do gender [1080] strifes [3163].
16 But [1161] shun [4026] profane [952] and vain babblings [2757]: for [1063] they will increase [4298] unto [1909] more [4119] ungodliness [763].
5 Perverse disputings [3859] of men [444] of corrupt [1311] minds [3563], and [2532] destitute [650] of the truth [225], supposing [3543] that gain [4200] is [1511] godliness [2150]: from [575] such [5108] withdraw thyself [868].
9 And [2532] be found [2147] in [1722] him [846], not [3361] having [2192] mine own [1699] righteousness [1343], which [3588] is of [1537] the law [3551], but [235] that which [3588] is through [1223] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] God [2316] by [1909] faith [4102]:
27 For [1063] as many of you as [3745] have been baptized [907] into [1519] Christ [5547] have put on [1746] Christ [5547].
14 But [235] put ye on [1746] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] make [4160] not [3361] provision [4307] for [1519] the flesh [4561], to fulfil the lusts [1939] thereof.
6 But we are all as an unclean [02931] thing, and all our righteousnesses [06666] are as filthy [05708] rags [0899]; and we all do fade [05034] [01101] as a leaf [05929]; and our iniquities [05771], like the wind [07307], have taken us away [05375].
