Sermon Notes

2 Corinthians 8:13-15
For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality

  • Proverbs 19:15
    Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.
  • Proverbs 31:27
    She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
  • 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12
    For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example. For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.

at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality; as it is written, “HE WHO gathered MUCH DID NOT HAVE TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE HAD NO LACK.”
