  2 Corinthians 8:1   Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
  2 Corinthians 8:2   How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
  2 Corinthians 8:3   For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
  2 Corinthians 8:4   Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
  2 Corinthians 8:5   And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
  2 Corinthians 8:6   Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
  2 Corinthians 8:7   Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
  2 Corinthians 8:8   I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
  2 Corinthians 8:9   For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
  2 Corinthians 8:10   And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

  2 Corinthians 8:11   Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
  2 Corinthians 8:12   For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
  2 Corinthians 8:13   For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
  2 Corinthians 8:14   But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
  2 Corinthians 8:15   As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
  2 Corinthians 8:16   But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

  2 Corinthians 8:17   For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
  2 Corinthians 8:18   And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
  2 Corinthians 8.19:And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

 a message  from the book of mormon
2 nephi 2

7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.

9 Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make ^antercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.

10 And because of the intercession for all, all men come unto God; wherefore, they stand in the presence of him, to be judged of him according to the truth and holiness which is in him. Wherefore, the ends of the law which the Holy One hath given, unto the inflicting of the punishment which is affixed, which punishment that is affixed is in opposition to that of the happiness which is affixed, to answer the ends of the atonement—

11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
