Commentaries:
If a person does the will of God, confusion begins to dissipate because obedience promotes understanding. Disobedience promotes confusion.
It does not matter which commandment one chooses to explore about the world's "Christian" submission to God, but in the end those in this world come up short, and in many cases, they will be seen to be failing miserably in living up to them.
