Commentary

separate you--whether from their Church, by excommunication, or from their society; both hard to flesh and blood. for the Son of man's sake--Compare Mat 5:11, "for MY SAKE"; and immediately before, "for righteousness' sake" (Luk 6:10). Christ thus binds up the cause of righteousness in the world with the reception of Himself.
