Commentary
all grace--even in external goods, and even while ye bestow on others [BENGEL]. that--"in order that." God's gifts are bestowed on us, not that we may have them to ourselves, but that we may the more "abound in good works" to others. sufficiency--so as not to need the help of others, having yourselves from God "bread for your food" (Co2 9:10). in all things--Greek, "in everything." every good work--of charity to others, which will be "your seed sown" (Co2 9:10).
