This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Godliness, the exercise of a true faith in Christ, conjoined with a holy life, is a good revenue of itself, having in it autarkeiav, a self-sufficiency. He doth not here suppose that godliness can be separated from a contented frame of spirit with that lot which God hath chosen for us, for that cannot be; but as being always attended with a contentation of mind, in which alone lieth true riches, for such men never want enough.



A good man, Solomon saith, is satisfied from himself, Pro_14:14; for which reason alone godliness is porismov megav, a great annual revenue.
