Commentaries on Revelation 14:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Fear God, and give glory to him - This is the general language of the sacred writings. Worship the true God, the creator and governor of all things; and give him glory, for to him alone, not to idols or men, all glory and honor belong.Read the comment
