1. The sacraments of the Jews are types of ours;
7. and their punishments,
11. examples for us.

(14) Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.--These words show that through all the previous argument and warning the writer had in view the particular dangers arising from their contact with the heathen world, and especially the partaking in the sacrificial feasts. Not because they were enemies, but because they are his "beloved" he had written thus to them. Because God is a faithful God--because He makes it possible for you to escape these dangers and sins--flee from idolatry. Do not be trying how near you can get to it, but rather how far you can get from it.

Verse 14. - Wherefore. As a result of the whole reasoning, which has been meant to inspire the weak with a more liberalizing knowledge, and the strong with a more fraternal sympathy. Dearly beloved. The word "dearly" should be omitted. Flee from idolatry. The original implies that they were to turn their backs on idolatry, and so fly from it.
