Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-4 - Where there is the truth of grace, there will be an increase of it. The path of the just is as the shining light, which shines more and mor unto the perfect day. And where there is the increase of grace, God must have all the glory. Where faith grows, love will abound, for fait works by love. It shows faith and patience, such as may be proposed a a pattern for others, when trials from God, and persecutions from men quicken the exercise of those graces; for the patience and faith of which the apostle gloried, bore them up, and enabled them to endure all their tribulations.
