2 Corinthians 9:9
_ _ As it is written — realizing the highly blessed character portrayed in Psalms 112:9.
_ _ He — the “good man” (Psalms 112:5).
_ _ dispersed — as seed sown with full and open hand, without anxious thought in what direction each grain may fall. It is implied also that he has always what he may disperse [Bengel]. So in Psalms 112:9.
_ _ the poor — The Greek word is found here only in New Testament, “one in straitened circumstances, who earns his bread by labor.” The word usually employed means “one so poor as to live by begging.”
_ _ his righteousness — Here “beneficence”: the evidence of his being righteous before God and man. Compare Deuteronomy 24:13; Matthew 6:1, “alms”; Greek, “righteousness.”
_ _ remaineth — unexhausted and unfailing. |
2 Corinthians 9:9
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. Psalms 112:9 |
