But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil. (b) From Satan's snares, or from evil.
God's faithfulness comforts us lest we despair that we might lose the faith or fall from it. He has promised, and He is faithful who has promised, nor will any good thing He has promised ever fail. He will establish you in the Gospel's doctrines so you are not moved away, and will keep you from the dominion of sin and from Satan's snares, so that you are not overcome by them.
AI summary
Though men are faithless and false, God never is. When you witness infidelity, see believers abandon the faith, and meet those in the church who refuse to help the cause of religion, turn to one who is faithful and never fails. God will certainly accomplish His benevolent purposes. A faithful God as Friend to the cause you love affords far more consolation than all men could offer.
