Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

2 Corinthians 9:9

2 Corinthians 9:9-10 are parenthetical, containing an illustrative quotation and its application.

2 Corinthians 9:9. καθὼς γέγραπται “ Ἐσκόρπισεν κ. τ. λ.: as it is written, sc., in the words of Scripture (perhaps the quotation was suggested by the image of sowing and reaping which recalled the word ἐσκόρπισεν), “ He, sc., the liberal man, hath scattered abroad (cf. Proverbs 11:24), he hath given to the poor, his righteousness, i.e., his beneficence (as at Matthew 6:1; St. Paul, when using his own words, never uses δικαιοσύνη in this old Hebrew sense), endureth for ever.”
