(2) While they behold . . .--The same curious word as in 1Peter 2:12, and the tense, which is ill-represented by "while they behold," sets us at the moment of the triumph of the wife's conduct, literally; having kept, or when they have kept an eye on your chaste conversation. The husband is jealously on the watch to see what his wife does who has embraced these foolish notions; at last he breaks down. Jesus must be the Messiah, or his wife could not have been so chaste!
