Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Traitors - · From , before, and , to deliver up. Those who deliver up to an enemy the person who has put his life in their hands; such as the Scots of 1648, who delivered up into the hands of his enemies their unfortunate countryman and king, Charles the First; a stain which no lapse of ages can wipe out.
Heady - · From , forwards, and , to fall; headstrong, precipitate, rash, inconsiderate.
High-minded - · From , smoke; the frivolously aspiring; those who are full of themselves, and empty of all good.
Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God - This is nervously and beautifully expressed in the Greek, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; i.e. pleasure, sensual gratification, is their god; and this they love and serve; God they do not.
