2 Corinthians 9:8 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

All grace - even in external goods, while ye bestow on others.

That - `in order that.' God's gifts are bestowed on us, not that we may have them to ourselves, but may the more 'abound in good works' to others.

Sufficiency - so as not to need help of others, having from God "bread for your food" (2 Corinthians 9:10).

In all things - Greek, 'in everything.'

Every good work - of charity, which will be "your seed sown" (2 Corinthians 9:10).
