John Trapp, an Anglican Bible commentator, read Proverbs 22:9 as a call to generous, willing giving. The truly bountiful, he said, give not just goods but themselves to the hungry. Isaiah 58 confirms that God notices such mercy. This isn’t prosperity hype; it’s moral formation. Trapp’s question still presses: what would make generosity cheerful rather than forced?

Matthew Henry, nonconformist minister, writes on Mammon. Charity is required. But if you’ve only got two mites, three are not expected. He also says that if one’s income approaches a poverty level, you may cause fellow Christians to demonstrate to the world the noble generosity of the Christian principle.

How can you offer generosity to the moderately poor?
