2 Corinthians 9:6-9 (WEL) But I do say this, “He who sows sparingly will harvest sparingly also,” and “he who sows bountifully will harvest bountifully also.” [Compare Proverbs 11:24-25, Proverbs 19:17, and Proverbs 22:9]. 7 Everyone needs to give according as he decides in his heart, not grudgingly or because he must because God…

2 Corinthians 8:5-7 (WEL) It is not just what we hoped for, but first they gave themselves to the Lord, then to us through God’s will. 6 We encouraged Titus in what he had started, so he would complete this same grace to you. 7 So since you abound in all faith, speech, knowledge,…

2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (WEL) So then, we are ambassadors for Christ. In this sense, God is making an appeal through us. We beg of you on behalf of Christ, “Be reconciled to God.” 21 For he has made him, who knew no sin, “sin” for us, so that we might become God’s righteousness in…

2 Corinthians 5:16-19 (WEL) So then, we acknowledge no one according to the flesh. Yes, even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we don’t know Him this way anymore. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things are gone. Look! All has…

2 Corinthians 5:12-15 (WEL) We don’t promote ourselves to you again, but give you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may have the facts [literally something] to answer those who place importance on appearance, instead of the heart. 13 So what if we are crazy? It is for God, but…

2 Corinthians 4:13-15 (WEL) We have the same spirit of faith, just as it is written, “I believed, and so I spoke.” We also believe and speak, [Psalm 116:10] 14 Knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus and will present us along with you. 15 For…
