Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Timothy 4:10

Commentary on 2 Timothy 4:9-13

(Read 2 Timothy 4:9-13)

The love of this world, is often the cause of turning back from the truths and ways of Jesus Christ. Paul was guided by Divine inspiration, yet he would have his books. As long as we live, we must still learn. The apostles did not neglect human means, in seeking the necessaries of life, or their own instruction. Let us thank the Divine goodness in having given us so many writings of wise and pious men in all ages; and let us seek that by reading them our profiting may appear to all.

24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Philemon 1:24

Commentary on Philemon 1:23-25

(Read Philemon 1:23-25)

Never have believers found more enjoyment of God, than when suffering together for him. Grace is the best wish for ourselves and others; with this the apostle begins and ends. All grace is from Christ; he purchased, and he bestows it. What need we more to make us happy, than to have the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with our spirit? Let us do that now, which we should do at the last breath. Then men are ready to renounce the world, and to prefer the least portion of grace and faith before a kingdom.
