- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Brethren, if a man be overtaken - · If he be surprised, seized on without warning, suddenly invaded, taken before he is aware: all these meanings the word has in connections similar to this. Strabo, lib. xvi., page 1120, applies it to the rhinoceros, in its contests with the elephant: he suddenly rips up the belly of the elephant, ͅ , that he may not be surprised with his trunk. For, should the elephant seize him with his trunk first, all resistance would…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Brethren, if a man be overtaken - Margin, “Although.” It is a case which the apostle supposes might happen.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-181. Brethren--An expression of kindness to conciliate attention. Translate as Greek, "If a man even be overtaken" (that is, caught in the very act [Alford and Ellicott]: BEFORE he expects: unexpectedly). Bengel explains the "before" in the Greek compound verb, "If a man be overtaken in a fault before ourselves": If another has really been overtaken in a fault the first; for often he who is first to find fault, is the very one who has first transgressed. a…Read the comment
