On this verse

Those who know it not cannot be expected to value it; churches and Christian patriots ought to concur to support the propagation of holy religion in the pagan countries; public spirits should concur according to their several capacities; those who are freely communicative of Christ's gospel should be assisted by those who are communicative of their purses.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

For - I know thou usest all thy talents to his glory. The truth that is in thee - The true faith and love.
