Linen Belts, Generosity, and Boasting Rights
What to notice today

Paul instructs the Corinthians on generous giving, emphasizing that God loves a cheerful giver and that true strength is found in weakness, not human boasting—a message aimed at silencing false apostles who relied on external credentials rather than Christ's power.
