For all — But Timotheus. Seek their own — Ease, safety, pleasure, or profit. Amazing! In that golden age of the church, could St. Paul throughly approve of one only, among all the labourers that were with him? Philippians 1:14, Philippians 1:17. And how many do we think can now approve themselves to God? Not the things of Jesus Christ — They who seek these alone, will sadly experience this. They will find few helpers likeminded with themselves, willing naked to follow a naked Master.
