That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; That they do good - That they relieve the wants of their fellow creatures, according to the abundance which God has given them. The highest luxury a human being can enjoy on this side of the grave.
Rich in good works - That their good works may be as abundant as their riches.
Ready to distribute - Ευμεταδοτους ειναι· That they give nothing through partiality or favor, but be guided in their distribution by the necessities of the objects presented to them; and that they confine not their charity at home, but scatter it abroad.
Willing to communicate - Κοινωνικους· Bringing every poor person into a state of fellowship with themselves.
