Title: Pop Quiz #2
Post by: Dave in Tenn on July 27, 2011, 09:33:34 PM

Test may be too strong a word.   :D 

Here's another puny effort. 

1Pe 1:22 Having purified your souls, by the obedience of truth, for unfeigned fondness for the brethren, love one another out of a true heart earnestly...

2Co 9:7 ...each according as he has proposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of compulsion, for the gleeful giver is loved by God.

Question:  are there 'Spiritual Matches' between these two verses?  Why or why not.  "Where" might be helpful too.

"Unfeigned fondness for the brethren' can be shown by being a 'gleeful' giver in their time of need. Peter speaks of how we need to be towards one another and Paul gives an example on how to do this.

I was thinking similar to Marques, 1 Pet 1:22 seems to deal with faith while 2 cor 9:7 seems to deal with works. Faith and works cannot work independently. If 1 Pet 1:22 is in your mind and heart, you will naturally be a gleeful giver
