Q2.HOW

does

Paul

description

about

himself

as

a

true

apostle

related

to

his

request

for

money

for

the

poor

fr

om

the

Corinthians?

In

2

Corinthians

8:7

-

15,

Paul

asked

the

Corinthian

church

for

money

for

the

Jerusalem

church.

The

Jerusalem

church

was

in

greater

need

without

forgetting

that

the

Corinthian

church

was

also

a

product

of

giving.

It

was,

therefore,

time

f

or

the

Corinthians

to

share

their

blessings.

Paul

was

able

to

embrace

hardships

and

weaknesses

for

the

power

of

Christ

to

dwell

in

him

(2cor

12:9

-

10).

According

to

Paul,

Gods

power

is

made

perfect

in

weaknesses.

A

true

apostle

should

endure

hardships

to

be

in

a

situation

of

helping

others

overcome

similar

misfortunes.

The

apostle

went

ahead

to

even

boost

about

his

suffering.

Paul

uses

the

church

of

Macedonia.

In

severe

poverty,

it

selflessly

funded

the

church

"for

the

holy

ones,"

which

aids

the

ministry

of

Jesus

by

helping

true

apostles.

For

the

church

of

Macedonia,

abundance

and

joy

followed

after

that.

He

continued

to

state

that

when

we

give,

it

is

not

meant

for

us

to

suffer,

but

it

brings

about

equality

(2Cor

8:13

-

14).

The

sincerity

of

one's

love

is

compa

red

with

the

earnestness

of

others.

Our

Lord

Jesus

Christ

though

he

was

rich,

became

poor

for

our

sake

(2Cor

8:8

-

9).

Q2.HOW does Paul description about himself as a true apostle related to his request for

money for the poor from the Corinthians?

In 2 Corinthians 8:7-15, Paul asked the Corinthian church for money for the Jerusalem

church. The Jerusalem church was in greater need without forgetting that the Corinthian

church was also a product of giving. It was, therefore, time for the Corinthians to share their

blessings.

Paul was able to embrace hardships and weaknesses for the power of Christ to dwell in him

(2cor 12:9-10). According to Paul, Gods power is made perfect in weaknesses. A true apostle

should endure hardships to be in a situation of helping others overcome similar misfortunes.

The apostle went ahead to even boost about his suffering.

Paul uses the church of Macedonia. In severe poverty, it selflessly funded the church "for the

holy ones," which aids the ministry of Jesus by helping true apostles. For the church of

Macedonia, abundance and joy followed after that.

He continued to state that when we give, it is not meant for us to suffer, but it brings about

equality (2Cor 8:13-14). The sincerity of one's love is compared with the earnestness of

others. Our Lord Jesus Christ though he was rich, became poor for our sake (2Cor 8:8-9).
