Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 9:9

9 As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad: he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever .

As in the former Verse the Apostle had asserted Gods Sufficiency to repay them what they should lend him, so he here asserteth Gods readiness and willingness. This he confirmeth from a promise taken out of Psal. 112.9. (where also is further added—his horn shall be exalted with honour.) Concerning the merciful man, it is true that Solomon saith, There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth. The Psalmist saith, His righteousness remaineth for ever: by which term some understand his bounty or liberality: I had rather understand by it here his obedience to the Command of God in his free distribution to the poor: this remaineth in Gods Book of remembrance for ever, God will not forget this labour of love, Heb. 6.10. The friends which he maketh with his Mammon of Vnrighteousness, shall receive him into everlasting habitations. A mans riches cannot remain for ever, but his Righteousness, in the distribution of them, according to the Command of God, that shall remain for ever.
