Acts19:18
Their deeds. Their actions; their evil course of life. Their deeds of iniquity in their former state. The direct reference here is to the magical arts which had been used, but the word may also be designed to denote iniquity in general. They who make a profession of religion will be willing to confess their transgressions. And no man can have evidence that he is truly renewed who is not willing to confess as well as to forsake his sins, Rom 10:10, Prov 28:13: "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy."
(b) "confessed" Mt 3:6 (*) "shewed" "declared"
