Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Ver. 22. Saying none other thing] Truth is one and the same in all ages; it is also ancient, and ever at agreement with itself. As on the other side, error is new, manifold, dissonant, and contradictory to itself, and much more to the truth. Paul delivered no new truths, but stood in the good old way of Moses and the prophets, and followed them, κατα ποδα. Those that stumble from the ancient ways, to walk in "new paths, in a way not cast up," they are people that "forget God," Jeremiah 18:15, to sacrifice to new gods, that came newly up,Deuteronomy 32:17; they are none of God's ancient people,Isaiah 44:7, but an upstart generation that knew not Joseph.
