Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

21. The reason, God's eye is on you,

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:15-23 Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.


Job 14:16 "For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin.
Job 31:4 "Does He not see my ways And number all my steps?
Job 34:21 "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.
Psalm 119:168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You. Tav.
Proverbs 4:26 Watch the path of your feet And all your ways will be established.
Proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.
Jeremiah 16:17 "For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity concealed from My eyes.
Jeremiah 32:19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds;
Hosea 7:2 And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.
Hebrews 4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. (NASB ©1995)
