2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:1-2
There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord's people.
For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year you in Achaia were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action.
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
1 Timothy 3:16
Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, Or [vindicated in spirit] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: Or [Christ, that person is a new creation.] The old has gone, the new is here!
