I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant to the people, for a light to the Gentiles;
All Commentaries on Isaiah 42:6 Go To Isaiah 42
Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius
AD 320

And when he had freed us as from evils and bonds and brought us into the light of wisdom, he recognized us as the heirs of his heavenly kingdom.
