圣经I do not need to write to you regarding the provision of saints.
Because I know your willingness, I often praise you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaeans have been ready for a year. And your enthusiasm has excited many people.
But I have sent those brothers to prepare you according to my word. Lest our praise of you on this matter fall through.
If any Macedonians come with me and see that you are not prepared, then what we believe will become a shame. You are ashamed, not to mention.
Therefore, I think I have to beg those brothers to come to you first and prepare the money they promised before, so that it can be seen that what you have donated is out of willingness, not from coercion.
Harvest less if planted less, and harvest more if planted more. This is true.
Everyone should decide according to their own heart. Don’t be difficult, don’t force, because God loves those who give willingly.
God is able to bestow upon you many blessings. So that you may always be abundant in all things and be able to do all kinds of good deeds.
As recorded in the scripture, he generously gave money and helped the poor. His benevolence and righteousness will endure forever.
He who gives seed to sowers and food to people to eat will increase the seeds of your planting and the fruits of your righteousness.
May you be rich in all things and give generously, so that through us we may give thanks to God.
Because doing this provision not only fills the gap of the saints, but also makes many people more grateful to God.
They have obtained evidence from this provision that you acknowledge Christ’s obedience to his gospel, and have donated a large amount of money to them and everyone, thus giving glory to God.
They also longed for you and prayed for you because of the great gift of God, which was revealed in your hearts.
Thank God for his endless gifts.
