Read II Corinthians 9
Are we cheerful givers? As we place our offerings in the collection plates, what is our attitude? Do we give grudgingly, wishing that we could use that money for our own benefit? This is the subject on this second chapter concerning giving. Along with singing, giving is an active role that we have in our weekly worship of Jehovah. When we give, we are worshipping God. How are we worshiping, cheerfully or grudgingly? God has given to us a gift that cannot be described in human terms; it is “unspeakable!” What is our reaction to that gift?

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of...

Read II Corinthians 8
Paul now returns to another purpose of this epistle. The church in Jerusalem was suffering financially because of their faith. The churches of Greece had been exhorted to take benevolent collections for these suffering saints. Now Paul is reminding the church of Corinth that God had blessed them physically and spiritually. They needed to give gifts of thanksgiving of that which God had given to them for those suffering saints. We, too, need this instruction. Christ has told us that the poor we have always among us. Are we caring for them?

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they....

Read II Corinthians 7
Paul returns to one of the purposes of this epistle. That purpose is his joy at hearing that a sinner had repented of his sin through the work of Christian discipline. After digressing into other subjects, Paul comes back to this purpose. He tells the Corinthians to received this returned saint into their midst. He wants them to enjoy the unity that this event gives to the church. He is also comforted by this news. Christian discipline is a remedy for sin. It must be used in the right way, and when it brings the desired results we must rejoice and be comforted in this way that God has given to his church.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said befo...

Read II Corinthians 6
In the first part of the chapter, Paul describes his work of preaching to the Corinthians. You should remember that while Paul’s preaching may not have won him any awards in Corinth for exemplary oration, his preaching was with power, the power of the word of God. By preaching, God’s people are brought to salvation by justification through faith alone. In the last part of the chapter, Paul admonishes the Corinthians and us not to become unequally yoked with unbelievers. This admonishment is one that we would do well to pay heed in the world in which we live. Who are our friends? What activities do we join in with our neighbors? What would Paul say to us? Let us live a sanctified life in all that we do. This is the way of thankfulness for our salvation.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Giving no offence in a...

Read II Corinthians 5
Paul continues with the theme of the previous chapter in this one. We see that in the little word “For” which begins the first verse. We do not know when Christ will return, but if He tarries, the end for us is the dissolving of our earthly body by death. This is not a sorrowful event as death is the passageway into glory for the child of God. Those of us who stand by an open grave may mourn our earthly loss, but we should rejoice at the gain of our dear, departed family member or friend. We, who remain on this earth, must constantly seek Christ who gave Himself for us that we, too, may have the eternal glory. These are Paul’s words to us in the last part of the chapter.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found...

Read II Corinthians 4
As we live this life on earth, we must always look above for the life that eye hath not seen. We know that there is a glorious place and end awaiting us when our Savior shall return on the clouds of heaven. But yet the life on this earth is often marked by affliction and troubles. The Holy Spirit through Paul has comfort for us as found in verse 17. The afflictions that we bear on earth are light when compared with the grandeur of glory that awaits us in heaven. People of God, do not despair because of your afflictions. Look up and watch and wait for the glory that will be yours when Christ returns.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight...

Read II Corinthians 3
There is a difference in the way God comes to his people in the Old and New Dispensations. In the Old God came to his people in the law and its ordinances which were but types and shadows of the glorious gospel to come in the New. Now that we are recipients of that gospel we must look ahead to a more glorious way that will be ours in glory. Both the law and the gospel have the intent to bring God’s people to salvation. Let us learn from the Old to live in the New as we prepare for the future.

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written...

Read II Corinthians 2
In Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians, he gives to them strict instructions to discipline a sinner. Now that Titus has met him and given to him the news of the man’s repentance, he instructs them in how to receive the sinner back into the fellowship of the saints. This is the goal of Christian discipline. We must be instructed, first of all, to keep this mark of a true manifestation of the church of a Christ, and secondly, when discipline is applied and has had its appointed effect, to receive the sinner back into our fellowship. This takes grace upon the sinner and upon the congregation. Let us seek this grace each day as we walk with one another in love.

But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; havin...

Read II Corinthians 1
Since Paul had written the first epistle to the church at Corinth, he desired to see if his admonitions had had an effect. He was also worried that he had been too harsh on the church, and that he had done despite to them and the cause of the gospel. By His providence God had not allowed him to go immediately to Corinth and had not let his messenger, Titus, meet up with him. This allowed the church at Corinth to use his advice with a good result. God cares for all of his people and makes it so that the work of the Gospel will prosper. May we seek grace to not run ahead of God.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Chri...

Read I Corinthians 16
In the final chapter of this epistle, Paul deals with some practical matters concerning a collection and his impending visit. Christ had told the church that they would always have the poor with them. In the time period of this epistle, the church at Jerusalem was suffering extreme poverty. These new churches were encouraged to give liberally for the care of the saints in Jerusalem. We, too, need this admonition as we also have the poor with us. In caring for our needy neighbor we care for Christ. Paul closes the epistle with a final admonition concerning those who do not walk in the truth. This, too, is for us.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by....
