2 Corinthians 8:1-8

We make known to you, brethren, God's gracious gift, which has been given in the churches of Macedonia; that under an afflicting trial, their overflowing joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality; for I testify that according to their power, and beyond their power, they gave voluntarily, read more.
beseeching us, with much entreaty, that they might give, and take part in the ministering to the saints; and they did this, not only as we had hoped, but they gave them selves first to the Lord, and then to us, through the will of God; so that we exhorted Titus, that, as he had previously begun, so he would bring to an end this gift among you also. Now as you excel in every thing, in faith, and in speech, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love for us, see that you excel in this gift also. I do not speak this as a commandment, but on account of the zeal of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

2 Corinthians 9:1-5

For of the relief which is for the saints, it is needless for me to write to you. For I know your readiness of mind, on account of which I boasted of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago: and your zeal has incited very many. But I have sent the brethren, that our boasting of you in this respect may not be in vain; that you may be ready, as I said: read more.
lest, possibly, should the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say you) might be made ashamed by this same confident boasting.

Philippians 1:10-22

in order that you may distinguish things that differ, to the end that you may be pure and blameless till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which fruit is by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. But I wish you to know, brethren, that the things which have befallen me have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel; read more.
so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence in my bonds, are more bold to speak the word without fear. Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will. These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel; those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds. What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice: for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if this, my life in the flesh, would be profitable for my work in the ministry, verily, what I should choose I know not.

Do, therefore, this which we advise you. We have four men who have a vow on them. Take them, and join with them in their vow of abstinence, and pay their expenses, in order that they may shave their heads; and all will know that the things which they have heard reported of you are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
