36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.



Ver. 36. Full of good works and alms-deeds] For there are other good works besides almsdeeds, though many Papists, and some as silly, have shrunk up charity to a hand breadth, to giving of alms. Let our works be done in God, Joh_3:21, and for God, 1Co_10:31. Let there be good actions and good aims; and then they shall be the works of God, Joh_6:28.
