1 Timothy 6:18
_ _ do good — like God Himself (Psalms 119:68; Acts 14:17) and Christ (Acts 10:38). Tittmann translates, “to do,” or “act well”; as the Greek for “to be beneficent” is a distinct word, agathopoiein.
_ _ rich in good works — so “rich in faith,” which produces good works (James 2:5). Contrasted with “rich in this world,” 1 Timothy 6:17. Literally, it is “rich in honorable (right) works.” Greek, “kalois,” “ergois,” are works good or right in themselves: “agathois,” good to another.
_ _ ready to distribute — free givers [Alford]; the heart not cleaving to possessions, but ready to impart to others.
_ _ willing to communicate — ready contributors [Alford]: liberal in admitting others to share our goods in common with ourselves (Galatians 6:6; Hebrews 13:16). |
1 Timothy 6:18
To do good — To make this their daily employ, that they may be rich — May abound in all good works. Ready to distribute — Singly to particular persons. Willing to communicate — To join in all public works of charity. |
