2 Corinthians 8:1
And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;
2 Corinthians 8:2
How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.
2 Corinthians 8:5
And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.
2 Corinthians 8:6
So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
2 Corinthians 8:7
And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.
2 Corinthians 8:8
I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
2 Corinthians 8:19
And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.
2 Corinthians 8:12
For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
2 Corinthians 8:16
But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
2 Corinthians 8:17
For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
2 Corinthians 9:12
For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;
Acts 4:34
And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,
Galatians 2:10
Only it was their desire that we would give thought to the poor; which very thing I had much in mind to do.
-----
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?
-----
Acts 11:28
And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.
-----
Acts 11:30
Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
-----
1 Corinthians 1:9
God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
-----
2 Corinthians 9:4
For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.
2 Corinthians 9:5
So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.
-----
2 Corinthians 13:13
All the saints send their love to you.
