dignified in every way. 3This is good, and it is
pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires
all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge
of the truth.

as it is written,“The reproaches of those who
reproached you fell on me.”
19. ROMANS 15:1-5 (ESV)
4For whatever was written in former days was written

giver (read 2 Corinthians 9:6-8).

reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully. 7Each one must give as he has
decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And
God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that
having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you
may abound in every good work.
