Take out (1627) ekphero by Greek Word Studies

Take out (1627) (ekphero from ek = out + phéro = bring, bear, carry) means literally to bear or carry out (Acts 5:6, 9, 10, 5:15). Bring out, lead (Mk 8:23). Bring forth, in the sense of growth, as the ground or earth "bears out" plants (Heb 6:8, Ge 1:12). Ekphero - 6x in 6v in NT... Mark 8:23 Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?" Acts 5:6 The young men got up and covered him (Ananias) up, and after carrying him out, they buried him. Acts 5:9 Then Peter said to her (Sapphira), "Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well." 10 And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Acts 5:15 (Acts 5:14) to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them. 1 Ti 6:7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. Hebrews 6:8 but if it ("ground" in Hebrews 6:7) yields (brings forth - as used in Lxx of Ge 1:12) thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

Little commentary is need here. Job said it so well: “Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD” (Job 1:21). I had so many funerals in one fifteen year pastorate that the local funeral directors joked about helping me recruit some members because they were burying all of mine. I have had funerals under all sorts of circumstances; rain, sleet, and snow, and intense heat. I have been in large and small processions. But so far I have never seen an armored car in a funeral procession. Perhaps you read about the man who died before three friends could repay ten thousand dollar loans. The three friends agreed that they owed the money and since their friend had no family, they thought the best thing they could do was to go by the open casket as they left the service and slip the money into the casket. They met later and the first man said, “Well, I feel better now. I slipped ten thousand dollars cash into the casket with Joe.” The second friend said, “I didn’t know how you would handle it, but I did the same thing.” The third friend said, “The banker told me you had each cashed a ten thousand dollar check, so I knew what you were going to do. But instead of getting him to cash my check, I just made out a thirty thousand dollar check to Joe and slipped it into the casket - and picked up your twenty thousand dollars change.” John Owen... Let us be in an expectation of such changes of providence, that they may not be great surprises unto us. When we are in peace, let us look for trouble; when we are at liberty, let us look for restraint; and when our children are about us, let us look for the removal of them; and be content to see all our comforts in their winding-sheet every day. It is impossible but our hearts will be too much upon them, unless we keep them in this frame. (from a sermon entitled The Everlasting Covenant, The Believer’s Support Under Distress,) HOMILY ON 1Timothy 6:6-8 Godliness the Highest Gain — I. Because it ensures the supply of absolute necessities.—" Having food and raiment let us be therewith content " (1Ti 6:8). Our real wants are few. What do we need more than food and covering ? They who fear the Lord have the promise of sustenance (Isa. 33:16 ; Ps 37:3). The godly are under the special care of the Divine Universal Provider. II. Because it promotes a spirit of contentment.—" Godliness with contentment is great gain " (1Ti 6:6). Godliness is a great means of gain — not of that gain which breeds discontent in its covetous pursuit, but the present and eternal gain which piety brings to the soul. Godliness is gain when it is accompanied with the contentment it inspires. It not only feels no need of what it has not, but also has that which exalts it above what it has not. Godliness is its own sufficiency, and satisfies every want of the complex nature of man. Godliness, even with affliction, is great gain. A minister recovering from a dangerous illness confessed, "This six weeks' illness has taught me more divinity than all my past studies and all my ten years' ministry put together." III. Because the contentment accompanying true godliness is independent of worldly possessions (1Ti 6:7).— Godliness reminds us of the condition in which we entered the world, and in which we shall leave it. We brought nothing with us ; we shall take nothing away. If we have little, we are taught to be content with that little ; if we have much, we are taught how fragile is our hold upon our possessions — not to set our hearts upon them, but use them as stewards who must give an account to the Giver of all good. Richard Boyle, the great Earl of Cork, outlived most of those who had known the meanness of his beginning. He never forgot it himself, but took pains to preserve the memory of it to posterity in the motto he always used, and which he caused to be placed on his tomb : " God's providence is my inheritance." (The Preacher's complete homiletical commentary) LESSONS — 1. Our spiritual gains are our truest wealth. 2. Contentment is a special endowment of godliness. 3. The godly man makes the best of both worlds. ><>><>><> GERM NOTES ON 1Timothy 6:6-8. The Cultivation of Christian Contentment I. Godliness is itself a gain. — 1. Because it is a satisfying reality. 2. Because it gives us the highest pleasures of which we are capable. II. Godliness with contentment is great gain. — 1. Contentment is the outcome of godliness. 2. Reasons for cultivating Christian contentment, (1) We have nothing (1Ti 6:7). (2) We have need of nothing (1Ti 6:8). (3) We are in danger of being entangled by striving after earthly things (1Ti 6:9, 10). 3. The advantages of cultivating Christian contentment. (1) It will protect us from the temptation to become rich anyhow (by any means!). (2) It will shield us from avarice. (3) It will teach us to acquire spiritual riches (cp 1Ti 4:7-8-note) (4) It will gladden the brief space of our earthly probation ---Lay Preacher (Ref) ><>><>><> 1Timothy 6:6 CONTENTMENT I The Text presents us with a bride. -- "Godliness." II. A bridesmaid. — " Contentment." III. Her great dowry. — "Great gain" IV. The present payment. — " Godliness with contentment is great gain." —T. Fuller. (Ref) Ruth Bryan wrote... September 19th.—I have had sharp exercises this week, concerning what many would think a trifle. On Monday, a tenant gave me half-a-sovereign, which was lost I know not how. It appeared most mysterious, for I much needed it. My soul sank within me, because I feared my Father must be angry, or He would not so constantly smite me in providential matters. It seemed as if my Lord would speak there would be a calm; and I know He will, although I cannot see how He can be glorified in this thing. I felt much encouraged by reading "Burroughs on Contentment (The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment)." It is to encourage dependence on the Lord when ways and means seem most shut up. He quotes 2Kings 3:17: "You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water." I never saw the passage in this light before. My God, You are able. My soul was afresh encouraged to supplicate, notwithstanding long delays and straitenings. (Gleanings from the Inner Life of Ruth Bryan) 1 Timothy 6:8 IF WE HAVE FOOD AND COVERING, WITH THESE WE SHALL BE CONTENT: echontes (PAPMPN) de diatrophas kai skepasmata, toutois arkesthesometha. (1PFPI): (Ge 28:20 48:15 De 2:7 8:3,4 Pr 27:23-27 30:8,9 Ec 2:24-26 Ec 3:12,13 Mt 6:11,25-33 Heb 13:5,6) Lord, make me truly wise, I pray, Contented with my lot; Help me to shun all earthly things That soon will be forgot! - Henry G.
