The New Life In Christ – All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. Galatians 2:10.

I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 2Corinthians     8:8-10.

At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, as it is written: “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.” 2Corinthians 8:14-15.

We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men. 2Corinthians 8:20-21.

Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God…and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 2Corinthians 9:13. Amen.
