Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 6:17

17 Charge them that are rich in this world , that they be not high minded , nor trust in uncertain riches , but in the living God , who giveth us richly all things to enjoy :

Those that are rich in Grace, and the good things of another Life, need not this charge, but there are diverse at Ephesus, who have great Estates in Goods, or Houses, or Lands, and but poor in gracious habits, charge them.

That their Riches do not lift them up into an high conceit, or opinion of themselves, which worldly riches often do.

And that they repose no confidence in them, making them their strong City, Prov. 10.15. as if they could secure them from evil, or make them happy.

But let them repose their trust in God, who hath Life in himself, giveth Life unto all other things, and liveth for ever.

And is he who gives us all we have, though it be bought with our peny.
