There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord’s people.

Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,

So when we can do good to everyone, let us do it. Let’s try even harder to do good to the family of believers.

Your gifts meet the needs of the Lord’s people. And that’s not all. Your gifts also cause many people to thank God.You have shown yourselves to be worthy by what you have given. So other people will praise God because you obey him. That proves that you really believe the good news about Christ. They will also praise God because you share freely with them and with everyone else.Their hearts will be filled with love for you when they pray for you. God has given you grace that is better than anything.

We don’t need to write to you about your love for one another. God himself has taught you to love one another.In fact, you do love all God’s family all around Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to love one another more and more.

they begged us for the chance to share in serving the Lord’s people in that way.They did more than we expected. First they gave themselves to the Lord. Then they gave themselves to us because that was what God wanted.Titus had already started collecting money from you. So we asked him to help you finish making your kind gift.You do well in everything else. You do well in faith and in speaking. You do well in knowledge and in complete commitment. And you do well in the love we have helped to start in you. So make sure that you also do well in the grace of giving to others.I am not commanding you to do it. But I want to test you. I want to find out if you really love God. I want to compare your love with that of others.You know the grace shown by our Lord Jesus Christ. Even though he was rich, he became poor to help you. Because he became poor, you can become rich.Here is my opinion about what is best for you in that matter. Last year you were the first to give. You were also the first to want to give.So finish the work. Then your desire to do it will be matched by your finishing it. Give on the basis of what you have.Do you really want to give? Then the gift is measured by what someone has. It is not measured by what they don’t have.We don’t want others to have it easy at your expense. We want things to be equal.Right now you have plenty in order to take care of what they need. Then they will have plenty to take care of what you need. The goal is to even things out.It is written,“ The one who gathered a lot didn’t have too much. And the one who gathered a little had enough.”( Exodus 16:18)

My heart is full of beautiful words as I say my poem for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

They asked only one thing. They wanted us to continue to remember poor people. That was what I had wanted to do all along.

And remember what we talked about. Remember that the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”

But you have received the Holy Spirit from God. He continues to live in you. So you don’t need anyone to teach you. God’s Spirit teaches you about everything. What he says is true. He doesn’t lie. Remain joined to Christ, just as you have been taught by the Spirit.

The king of Judah sent you to ask the Lord for advice. Tell him,‘ The Lord is the God of Israel. He has a message for you about the things you heard. He says,

Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said. So she sent for her younger son Jacob. She said to him,“ Your brother Esau is planning to get back at you by killing you.

We can’t reach up to the Mighty One. He is lifted high because of his power. Everything he does is fair and right. So he doesn’t crush people.

I was circumcised on the eighth day. I am part of the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am a pure Hebrew. As far as the law is concerned, I am a Pharisee.As far as being committed is concerned, I opposed and attacked the church. As far as keeping the law is concerned, I kept it perfectly.

Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to write to you about times and dates.

What about the dead rising? Haven’t you read what God said to you?

As far as the good news is concerned, the people of Israel are enemies. This is for your good. But as far as God’s choice is concerned, the people of Israel are loved. This is because of God’s promises to the founders of our nation.
