22. 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
Mt 5:11,
"for MY SAKE"; and immediately before, "for
righteousness' sake"
(Lu 6:10).
Christ thus binds up the cause of righteousness in the world with
the reception of Himself.
