On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Now if we be unfaithful in the less, if we use the things of this world to other purposes than those for which they were given us, it may justly be feared that we should be so in the gifts of God's grace, that we should receive them also in vain, and therefore they will be denied us: He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
