This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Necessity; the word signifies uses. The saints must be succoured in things useful, as well as necessary. This apostle, in his Second Epistle to the Corinthians, spends two whole chapters about this sort of charity, in relieving the poor saints; viz. 2Co_8:1-9:15: see also Gal_6:10 Heb_13:16.



Given to hospitality; or, as the word may be rendered, pursue hospitality; hunt after it, as Abraham and Lot did, Gen_18:1,2 Ge 19:1,2. Concerning this duty of accommodating strangers, (which is here meant by hospitality), see Deu_10:18,19 Isa 58:7 1Ti_3:2 Tit_1:8 Heb_13:2 1Pe_4:9.
