2 Corinthians 9
Verse 1. To write to you - Largely.
Verse
2. I boast to them of Macedonia - With whom he then was.
Verse
3. I have sent the above mentioned brethren before me.
Verse
5. Spoken of before - By me, to the Macedonians. Not as a matter
of covetousness - As wrung by importunity from covetous
persons.
Verse
6. He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly; he that soweth
bountifully shall reap bountifully - A general rule. God will
proportion the reward to the work, and the temper whence it
proceeds.
Verse
7. Of necessity - Because he cannot tell how to refuse.
Verse
8. How remarkable are these words! Each is loaded with matter
and increases all the way it goes. All grace - Every kind of
blessing. That ye may abound to every good work - God gives us
everything, that we may do good therewith, and so receive more
blessings. All things in this life, even rewards, are, to the faithful,
seeds in order to a future harvest. Prov. xxii, 9.
Verse
9. He hath scattered abroad - (A generous word.) With a full hand,
without any anxious thought which way each grain falls. His
righteousness - His beneficence, with the blessed effects of it.
Remaineth for ever - Unexhausted, God still renewing his store.
Psalm cxii, 9.
Verse
10. And he who supplieth seed - Opportunity and ability to help
others. And bread - All things needful for your own souls and
bodies. Will continually supply you with that seed, yea, multiply
it to you more and more. And increase the fruits of your
righteousness - The happy effects of your love to God and man.
Isaiah lv, 10.
Verse
11. Which worketh by us thanksgiving to God - Both from us who
distribute, and them who receive, your bounty.
13. Your avowed subjection - Openly testified by your actions. To
all men - Who stand in need of it.
Verse
15. His unspeakable gift - His outward and inward blessings, the
number and excellence of which cannot be uttered.
