explained (1 Cor. 5: 9-10) but rather that they take care their faith by not committing to them
whether it is a personal or business bond.
18Explain 2 Corinthians 8:7
In this chapter Paul exhorts about offerings, he also uses the word donation; But Paul exhorts the
Corinthian church to be generous, that this generosity be carried out out of love, which is why in
that verse he says: "And in your love for us", thus he mentions to them that as they abound in
knowledge, in faith so be it when meeting the needs of others, especially since it is mentioned
that Titus would take that offering to the church in Jerusalem.

(2 Cor. 10:4) Paul used military terms to refer to the war against sin and satan; God is the
