Verse 19 To them who are under the law, meaning that the language of the above quotations is to be considered as descriptive of the character of Jews.--And all the world may become guilty before God. There has been much theological dispute in respect to the native character of man; but it seems to have been in great measure a war of words. Among all those who have enjoyed much opportunity for a practical acquaintance with human nature, as it develops itself on the great theatre of life, there is pretty general agreement in respect to the selfishness the duplicity, the falseness, and the absence of all honest regard for the will or law of God which prevail every where in this world of corruption and sin. The great question seems to have been to determine in what phraseology the notorious facts shall be theologically generalized.
