On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The necessity of a pure intention in all things, unmixed either with the desire of riches, or worldly care, and fear of want, ver. 19-34. This verse is a general caution against vain glory, in any of our good works: All these are here summed up together, in the comprehensive word righteousness.

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

Self-conceit and self-complacency, and an adoring of our own shadow, are branches of pride, as dangerous as vain-glory and ostentation before men. We find those had their good works remembered to their honour, who had themselves forgotten them: When saw we thee an hungered, or athirst? What is the promise to those who are thus sincere and humble in their alms-giving.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
