Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Some for good-will, and some for ill-will, would spread the report of it; so that before he himself had returned to Jerusalem the apostles and the brethren there and in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God, that is, the gospel of Christ, which is not only a word of God, but the word of God; for it is the summary and centre of all divine revelation.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Every man determined to send something, more or less, according to his ability, what he could spare from the support of himself and his family, and according as God had prospered him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief, &c.--This was the pure prompting of Christian love, which shone so bright in those earliest days of the Gospel.
