 12having your behaviour comely among the Gentiles; that in what they speak against you as evil-doers, they, as observing, may from your comely works glorify God in [the] day of visitation.
 13Be subject to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to a king as supreme,
 14or to rulers as being sent through him, for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those that do well.

 16as free, and not having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.
 17Honour all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.
 18Household servants, be in subjection with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooked.

 8For these things being in you and abounding make [you] not idle nor unfruitful for the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ:
 9for he with whom they are not present is blind, shortsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his old sins.

CONCLUDING REMARKS ON MATTHEW'S GOSPEL.Matthew being one of the twelve apostles, and early called to the apostleship, and from the time of his call a constant attendant on our Saviour, was perfectly well qualified to write fully the history of his life.
He relates what he saw and heard.
"He is eminently distinguished for the distinctness and particularity with which he has related many of our Lord's discourses and moral instructions.
Of these his sermon on the mount, his charge to the apostles, his illustrations of the nature of his kingdom, and his prophecy on mount Olivet, are examples.
He has also wonderfully united simplicity and energy in relating the replies of his Master to the cavils of his adversaries."
"There is not," as Dr. A. Clarke justly remarks, "one truth or doctrine, in the whole oracles of God, which is not taught in this Evangelist.
The outlines of the whole spiritual system are here correctly laid down:
even Paul himself has added nothing:
he has amplified and illustrated the truths contained in this Gospel;--under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, neither he, nor any of the other apostles, have brought to light one truth, the prototype of which has not been found in the words and acts of our blessed Lord as related by Matthew."
• Now it appears to me that with such a word as this the ascension scene would be incongruous. He had said, "Lo, I am with you alway"; and there the curtain drops — the unbroken blessedness of this promise rings on the heart! Thus the keeping out of view His departure seems to me to crown the beauty of the parting promise, and of the whole Gospel. (“Remarks on Matthew 28” by W. Kelly)
• this was and is enough for faith. The Lord grant that we may confide our souls, both for this age and forever, to that Word which shall stand when heaven and earth pass away! (“Remarks on Matthew 28” by W. Kelly)

See note to {vi 23522}{/vi}. Also, the addition of "Amen" by some was probably owing to ecclesiastical influence, like the doxology at the end of the prayer for the disciples (6:13).
