22 καὶ ὅταν θερίζητε τὸν θερισμὸν τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν οὐ συντελέσετε τὸ λοιπὸν τοῦ θερισμοῦ τοῦ ἀγροῦ σου ἐν τῷ θερίζειν σε καὶ τὰ ἀποπίπτοντα τοῦ θερισμοῦ σου οὐ συλλέξεις τῷ πτωχῷ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ ὑπολείψῃ αὐτά ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 22. And now, therefore, when truth is implanted in good, it is no longer appropriated to selfish purposes in its ultimate expression with full power, internally; nor is that good to be contaminated with selfish motives externally; on the contrary they are ascribed to the Lord in works of charity and faith from charity, and this without any selfish or worldly motive.
