We are here assured, for our quickening to every good word and work, 1.
That even good words will turn to a good account (v. 14): A man shall
be satisfied with good (that is, he shall gain present comfort, that
inward pleasure which is truly satisfying) by the fruit of his mouth,
by the good he does with his pious discourse and prudent advice. While
we are teaching others we may ourselves learn, and feed on the bread of
life we break to others. 2. That good works, much more, will be
abundantly rewarded: The recompence of a man's hands for all his work
and labour of love, all he has done for the glory of God and the good
of his generation, shall be rendered unto him, and he shall reap as he
has sown. Or it may be understood of the general rule of justice; God
will render to every man according to his work, Rom. ii. 6.
