Saint Paul the Apostle of Jesus the Christ.


In the mouth of witnesses establish

1 ¶ This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: 3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.



The "ministering to the saints" was providing for those "called out" who were ro be "separate from the world" providing a daily ministration for the people through "cheerful charity" by rightly dividing [free bread|[bread]] from house to house through the righteous Corban of Christ.
Tithing was always a voluntary choice to support those Levites who served the tabernacle of the congregations of the people "according to their service" with freewill offerings.[1]
The cheerful giving to "make up beforehand your bounty" so that "the same might be ready" to be used for the daily ministration was done by fervent charity and "not as of covetousness" like the heathen of Rome.
Those who "soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly" because they live in a cause and effect universe created by the God of Nature. As you judge so shall ye be judged.
The early Christians were in "subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution" according to the Eucharist of Christ rather than the free bread of Rome like many of the workers of iniquity who profess Christ with their lips only.


do no evil

7 ¶ Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Be perfect

11 ¶ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 12 Greet one another with an holy kiss. 13 All the saints salute you. 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
