Adam Clarke
Seeing we have this ministry - The Gospel, of which he gave that noble account which we read in the preceding chapter.
We faint not - We meet with many tribulations, but are supported in and through all by the grace of the Gospel. Instead of , we faint not, , we act not wickedly, is the reading of ADFG, and some others. Wakefield thinks it the genuine reading; it certainly makes a very good sense with what goes before and what follows. If we follow this reading the whole verse may be read thus: Wherefore, as we have obtained mercy, or been graciously intrusted, , with this ministry, we do not act wickedly, but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, etc.
