2 Corinthians 9:1 to 15 Money has always been a concern for God's servants. People have always wanted to receive blessings from God, through pastors, that would last a lifetime, but they were often not willing to be faithful throughout their lives. It is important to understand that the "saints" to whom Paul refers are those who work in God's work, and the "good work" is the work carried out through the church and its ministers. God is willing to bless his people greatly, as long as they are willing to generously bless his church and its pastors.
