About 2 Corinthians 8Paul tells of "the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia," who in "deep poverty" gave "beyond their power" and "first gave their own selves to the Lord." He urges the Corinthians to finish their own gift, pointing to "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor," and asks for "a willing mind" and "equality." He is sending Titus and two brothers with the gift, "Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men." 2 Corinthians 8:12 Corinthians 8:22 Corinthians 8:32 Corinthians 8:52 Corinthians 8:62 Corinthians 8:92 Corinthians 8:122 Corinthians 8:142 Corinthians 8:162 Corinthians 8:182 Corinthians 8:212 Corinthians 8:22
