This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Supplieth (epichorēgōn). Late Koiné[28928]š compound verb from epi and chorēgeō, just below (1Pe 4:11). Chorēgos is old word for leader of a chorus (choros, hēgeomai) or chorus-leader. The verb means to furnish a chorus at one’s own expense, then to supply in general. N.T. examples of epichorēgeō are 2Co 9:10; Gal 3:15; Col 2:19; 2Pe 1:5.
Shall multiply (plēthunei). Future active indicative of plēthunō, old verb from plēthus, fulness. Cf. Act 6:1.
Fruits (genēmata). Correct reading (from ginomai, to become) and not gennēmata (from gennaō, to beget). This spelling is supported by lxx where Thackeray shows that genēmata in lxx refers to vegetables and gennēmata to animals. The papyri support this distinction (Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary).
