Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 4:2

2 Moreover, it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful .

It is required of all Servants, but especially of chief Servants, such as Stewards are, who are instructed with their Masters goods, to be dispensed out to others. The faithfulness of a Steward in dispensing out his Masters goods, lies in his giving them out according to his Masters order, giving to every one their portion, not detaining any thing from others, which it is his Masters will they should have. As Paul gloried, Acts 20.20, 27. That he had kept back from the Ephesians nothing that was profitable for, nor shunned to declare to them all the counsel of God, nor giving holy things to dogs, or casting pearls before swine, contrary to Christs direction, Matt. 7.6.
