It is required of all servants, but especially of chief servants, such as stewards are, who are intrusted with their masters goods, to be dispensed out to others. The faithfulness of a steward in dispensing out his master's goods lies in his giving them out according to his master's order, giving to every one their portion, not detaining any thing from others which it is his master's will they should have; as Paul gloried, Acts 20:20,27, that he had kept back from the Ephesians nothing that was profitable for them, nor shunned to declare to them all the counsel of God; not giving holy things to dogs, or casting pearls before swine, contrary to Christ's direction, Matthew 7:6.
