    2 Corinthians 8:16-21 (WEL) Thanks be to God, who gives the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. 17 For truly, he accepted our urgent appeal, and being eager on his own accord, he came to you of his own free will. 18 We have sent, with him, the brother whose…

    2 Corinthians 8:13-15 (WEL) I’m not suggesting that others have it easier, and you have it harder, but keeping it equal. 14 In order that your abundance may meet their need and their abundance may meet your need, so there will be fairness. 15 Just as it is written, “He who had gathered much…

    2 Corinthians 8:8-12 (WEL) I’m not giving an order, but because of the eagerness of others and proving the sincerity of your love. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he—being rich—became poor, in order that you might become rich through his poverty. 10 So this is…

  • My Daily Thoughts—2 Corinthians 7:11-13

    2 Corinthians 7:11-13 (WEL) For, look, concerning this very thing, you were sad in the godly sense, and what earnestness it caused to clear yourselves.

    2 Corinthians 7:8-12 (WEL) For even though I made you sad with the letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it, for I perceive that the same letter has made you sad—though only for a brief time. 9 Now I rejoice, not that I made you sad, but that you were…

  • My Daily Thoughts—2 Corinthians 7:5-7

    2 Corinthians 7:5-7 (WEL) For when we had come to Macedonia, our flesh had no rest.

  • My Daily Thoughts—2 Corinthians 6:14-19

    2 Corinthians 6:14-19 (WEL) Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what does righteousness have in common with unrighteousness?
