The context of chapters 8 and 9 of 2 Corinthians is about how the Gentile churches were called upon to collect funds to help the struggling and needy Jewish church in Jerusalem. In these two chapters, we are going to learn important and timeless biblical principles of financial stewardship. But beneath the surface of biblical principles on giving is the deeper subject of sacrificial, Christian living.

In these verses Paul is giving us a wonderful example of what it means to walk in integrity and accountability. He knew that not only were others keeping track of him, but most importantly, so was Our Lord Jesus.
