  2. Romans 16:17 As by namely describing them, which were worthy of commendation, he sufficiently declared when they ought to hear and follow, so doth he now point out unto them whom they ought to take heed of, yet he nameth them not, for that it was not needful.
  3. Romans 16:17 Warily and diligently, as though you should scout out for your enemies in a watch tower.
