Commentary
Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:18
Theological / DevotionalRich in good works. The rich Christian has a special opportunity to serve his fellow men and to show to the world the results of grace. When non-Christians see the gracious unselfishness of rich Christians they will naturally tend to have respect for the Christian way of life, and may, indeed, turn to Christ.
Ready to distribute. Or, “ready to impart,” that is, they are willing to give to others a part of their riches. The rich Christian is entrusted with a solemn responsibility. The way he handles wealth will affect his spiritual development as well as the comfort of those less fortunate.
Willing to communicate. Gr. koinōnikoi, “sociable,” “ready to fellowship.” The rich Christian will not hold himself aloof from those less fortunate in material possessions. He will give himself as well as his gift to his fellow church members.
