Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

As every one hath received a gift - Spiritual or temporal, ordinary or extraordinary, although the latter seems primarily intended. So minister it one to another - Employ it for the common good. As good stewards of the manifold grace of God--The talents wherewith his free love has intrusted you.
