Commentary

By . . . by, &c.--rather, as Greek, "In . . . in," implying not the instrument, but the sphere or element in which his ministry moved. knowledge--spiritual: in Gospel mysteries, unattainable by mere reason (Co1 2:6-16; Co2 3:6, Co2 3:17-18). long-suffering . . . kindness--associated with "charity" or "love" (Co1 13:4), as here. by the Holy Ghost--in virtue of His influences which produce these graces, and other gifts, "love unfeigned" being the foremost of them.
