2 Corinthians 9

Paul encourages the Corinthians to follow through with their promise to send assistance to the believers in other areas. Their generosity had been something Paul was reporting to other groups of believers; and it was time for the Corinthians to (literally) put their money where their mouths had been! Paul says this so that all involved will be encouraged. Those giving will be blessed, those receiving will be blessed, and those hearing of the mutual encouragement will be blessed. Paul further asks that God would powerfully make up for any shortfall the Corinthian generosity might create. God IS able to provide!
