Acts 20:35 “In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” DESPITE NO NEED TO WRITE PAUL STILL WRITES The first five verses of 2Co 9 are closely connected with the last section of chapter 8 (2Co 8:16-24). - "Therefore openly before the churches, show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you." (2Co 8:24) As such this suggests another poor chapter division. Ultimately the Corinthians' completion of the contribution would prove the reality of their love for the saints in Jerusalem. Michael Andrus - My sermon title today, “Giving: What’s In It For Me?”, is a bit facetious, but not entirely. You are probably thinking, “Isn’t giving supposed to be about the recipient, about meeting needs, and about serving God?” Yes, but the fact is the Bible speaks often, including in our text today, about the various benefits in a life of generosity–not only for the recipient, but also for the giver.
