6–15. EXHORTATION TO GIVE LIBERALLY AND CHEERFULLY

Having gloried in the former readiness of the Corinthians, in order to encourage the Macedonians, and having told the Corinthians of the spontaneous generosity of the Macedonians, in order to encourage the Corinthians, and having begged the latter not to prove his glorying on their behalf void by showing unwillingness now, he presses home his appeal by other arguments. 1. Giving is not loss, but a sowing which will bring a harvest, if only it is done in a right spirit (2Co 9:6-7). 2. God can and will bestow, not only the right spirit, but the means of exercising it (8–11). 3. Their bounty will relieve the necessities of those who receive it, and will also increase their thankfulness to God and their love to the givers (11–14).
