Chapters 8, 9 Let not selfish motives lead you to withhold the funds that are needed in unworked fields. When we are tempted to withhold that which is needed in foreign fields, let us study the eighth and ninth chapters of Second Corinthians, and learn to emulate the liberal spirit which made the Macedonians willing to give “beyond their power” to the cause that called for their assistance (Manuscript 11, 1908).{6BC 1104.8}

Kapitlerne 8, 9

Lad ikke selviske motiver lede dig, til at holde de fondsmidler tilbage der er brug for på ubearbejdede marker. Når vi fristes til at tilbageholde de midler der er brug for på udenlandske marker, så lad os studere det ottende og niende kapitel i andet korinterbrev, og lære at overgå hinanden i gavmildhed, som gjorde makedonerne villige til at give ”over evne” til den sag som krævede deres hjælp (MS 11, 1908).
