Batman: Robin, what's going on in the Bible now?

Robin: Well, Batman, it looks like Paul is encouraging the church in Corinth to be generous and cheerful givers. He's reminding them of the promise made to the ancient Israelites, that if they give generously, God will bless them in return.

Joker: Ha ha ha! Generous givers? That's a joke!

Batman: Joker, don't be so pessimistic. Paul goes on to explain that God loves a cheerful giver, so the more joy we have in giving, the more God will pour out blessings on us.

Catwoman: That's a nice sentiment, Batman, but it still doesn't sound like much fun.

Batman: On the contrary, Catwoman. Paul is telling us that God's blessings are greater than anything we can give. He's also reminding us that God is the source of all blessings, and that our giving is an expression of our faith and trust in Him.
