After pointing to two contrasted types of man - one firm, sincere, devoted, and willing to self - sacrifice to the cause, and the other a hypocrite and pretender to false belief and piety, the verse now addresses all the believers generally, and calls them to enter peace and reconciliation. The verse implies that peace and comfort can only be obtained through the rays of FAITH. To overcome, the causes of dispersion and division, such as race and language, a strong uniting or binding cord is needed, and no better than a general faith in God can be found on this account.
The argument is then continued to devil and doing wrong, and says: ``Do not follow the footsteps of Satan who is an avowed and manifest enemy of yours.''
It is repeatedly mentioned here that, turning back to peace equity, and justice, and also adhering to enmity, warfare, and blood-shed, always commences through simple matters and worthless differences, and gradually develops into dreadful conflicts.
