which shall not be taken away from her.
42: But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which
shall not be taken away from her.
But one thing is needful. That is, religion, or piety.
This is eminently and peculiarly needful. Other things are of little
importance. This should be secured first, and then all other things will
be added. See 1 Tim 4:8 Mt 6:33.
That good part. The portion of the gospel; the love of God, and an interest in his kingdom. She had chosen to be a Christian, and to give up her time and affections to God.
Which shall not be taken away. God will not take away his grace from his people, neither shall any man pluck them out of his hand, Jn 10:28, Jn 10:29.
