Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:10

Theological / Devotional

Not be grieved. Literally, “not be evil.” The same verb is translated “sad” (1 Sam. 1:8, RSV), “evil” (Deut. 28:54, 56), and “ill” (Job 20:26). The apostle Paul spoke of the same attitude of mind in 2 Cor. 9:7, saying literally, “Each according as he purposes in his heart, not out of annoyance, or of necessity.”

All. The Lord takes note of all that a man does; nothing goes unrewarded. There is to be an “abounding,” or, as Paul says, literally, “an overtopping” in all we do for God (2 Cor. 8:7,9).
