Verse 18
‘That they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate,’
Thus the rich are to work hard at ‘doing good’. That should be their main aim and ambition. They should be rich in good works. They should be good at distributing their wealth to those who need it. They should be looking out for opportunities to use it for the genuine benefit of others. They should be delighted to pass it on to any who are in need. The idea of ‘willing to communicate’ is that it indicates true neighbourliness. For God has given them their riches precisely for that reason, so that they might be a blessing to others. Freely they have received, freely they should give (Matthew 10:8). They should give hilariously (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).
