Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 9:8

_ _ all grace — even in external goods, and even while ye bestow on others [Bengel].

_ _ that — “in order that.” God’s gifts are bestowed on us, not that we may have them to ourselves, but that we may the more “abound in good works” to others.

_ _ sufficiency — so as not to need the help of others, having yourselves from God “bread for your food” (2 Corinthians 9:10).

_ _ in all thingsGreek, “in everything.”

_ _ every good work — of charity to others, which will be “your seed sown” (2 Corinthians 9:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 9:6-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 9:8

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. Proverbs 22:9
