Verse 10
Honoured us with many honors - The word τιμη , as Bishop Pearce has remarked, is often used to signify a pecuniary recompense, or present. The Greek word seems to be thus used in 1 Timothy 5:17 . Let the elders which rule well be accounted worthy of double Honor, τιμης , which St. Chrysostom, on the place, explains thus: την των αναγκαιων χορηγιαν· a supplying them with all necessary things. Diodorus Siculus, and Xenophon, used the word in the same way. In the sense of a pecuniary recompense, or price, paid for any thing, the word τιμη is met with in 1 Corinthians 6:20 ; and 1 Corinthians 7:23 . And in the Septuagint, Numbers 22:17 ; compared with Numbers 22:18 ; Psalm 8:5 ; and Psalm 49:12 ; Proverbs 3:9 . Bp. Pearce.
Such things as were necessary - They had before given them many presents, and now they gave them a good sea stock; all that was necessary for their passage.
