On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It is not said, those that are rich, but those that will be rich, that is, that place their happiness in worldly wealth, that covet it inordinately, and are eager and violent in the pursuit of it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The falling into it is what we are to pray against, "Lead us not into temptation" (Jas 1:14); such a one is already in a sinful state, even before any overt act of sin. The Greek for "temptation" and "gain" contains a play on sounds--porasmus, peirasmus. snare--a further step downwards (1Ti 3:7).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Fall-plunge - A sad gradation! Into temptation - Miserable food for the soul! Dreadful "covering!" And into many foolish and hurtful desires - Which are sown and fed by having more than we need.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
