1 Timothy 6:19
_ _ Laying up in store — “therefrom (that is, by this means [Alford]; but Bengel makes the Greek “apo” mean laying apart against a future time), laying up for themselves as a treasure” [Alford] (Matthew 6:19, Matthew 6:20). This is a treasure which we act wisely in laying up in store, whereas the wisest thing we can do with earthly treasures is “to distribute” them and give others a share of them (1 Timothy 6:18).
_ _ good foundation — (See on 1 Timothy 3:13; Luke 6:48; 1 Corinthians 3:11). The sure reversion of the future heavenly inheritance: earthly riches scattered in faith lay up in store a sure increase of heavenly riches. We gather by scattering (Proverbs 11:24; Proverbs 13:7; Luke 16:9).
_ _ that ... eternal life — The oldest manuscripts and versions read, “that which is really life,” its joys being solid and enduring (Psalms 16:11). The life that now is cannot be called so, its goods being unsubstantial, and itself a vapor (James 4:14). “In order that (‘with their feet so to speak on this foundation’ [De Wette]) they may lay hold on that which is life indeed.” |
1 Timothy 6:19
Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation — Of an abundant reward, by the free mercy of God. That they may lay hold on eternal life — This cannot be done by alms — deeds; yet they "come up for a memorial before God," Acts 10:4. And the lack even of this may be the cause why God will withhold grace and salvation from us. |
1 Timothy 6:19
(12) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
(12) The praise of liberality, by the effects of it, because it is a sure testimony of the Spirit of God who dwells in us, and therefore of the salvation that will be given to us. |
