So, the context for today’s Scripture is an offering that is being collected for the persecuted church in Jerusalem. Paul has already received the contributions of the Macedonians who were poor but gave generously. He has used them as an example to the Corinthians, who were wealthier, to see the heart of the generous Macedonians and be generous themselves. Not only that, the Corinthians had told Paul that they wanted to contribute a year earlier, yet had still not done so.
