<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>1</span>Recording spiritual impressions will help you remember what you learn during scripture study.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>2</span>You might write in a study journal, make notes in the margins of your scriptures, add notes in your Gospel Library app, or make an audio recording of your thoughts.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>What would you do if you heard that a congregation of Saints in another area was struggling in poverty?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>This was the situation that Paul described to the Corinthian Saints in 2 Corinthians 8–9.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>He hoped to persuade the Corinthian Saints to donate some of their abundance to Saints in need.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>But beyond a request for donations, Paul’s words also contain profound truths about giving: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>In our day, there are still Saints throughout the world who are in need of help.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>Sometimes the most we can do for them is to fast and donate fast offerings.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>In other cases, our giving can be more direct and personal.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>Whatever forms our sacrifices take, it’s worth examining our motivations for giving.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>Are our sacrifices expressions of love?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>After all, it’s love that makes a giver cheerful.</p>

<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 8:1–15; 9:5–15</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書8：1-15；9：5-15</div>
<div class='section'>I can cheerfully share what I have to bless the poor and needy.</div>
<div class='section'>我會樂意與貧困者分享所有。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>There are so many people in need all over the world.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>How can we possibly make a difference?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>Elder Jeffrey R. Holland offered this counsel: “Rich or poor, we are to ‘do what we can’ when others are in need [see Mark 14:6, 8]. …</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>[God] will help you and guide you in compassionate acts of discipleship if you are conscientiously wanting and praying and looking for ways to keep a commandment He has given us again and again” .</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>(“Are We All Not Beggars?” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 41)</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>Read 2 Corinthians 8:1–15; 9:6–15, making note of principles Paul taught about caring for the poor and needy.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>What inspires you about Paul’s counsel?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>You might pray for guidance about what you can do to bless someone in need.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>Be sure to record any impressions you receive and act on them.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>See also Mosiah 4:16–27; Alma 34:27–29; Henry B. Eyring, “Is Not This the Fast That I Have Chosen?” Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 22–25; Linda K. Burton, “I Was a Stranger,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2016, 13–15.</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 11</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書第11章</div>
<div class='section'>False prophets seek to deceive.</div>
<div class='section'>假先知想要欺騙人。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>It might help you understand this chapter to know that “false apostles” had arisen among the Corinthian Saints (2 Corinthians 11:13).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>What do you learn from verses 13–15 about those who teach false doctrines?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>What do you learn about true prophets as you read about Paul’s experiences as a minister of Christ? (see verses 23–33).</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 11:3; 13:5–8</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書11：3；13：5-8</div>
<div class='section'>I should “examine” my faithfulness in the gospel of Jesus Christ.</div>
<div class='section'>我應該「省察」自己對耶穌基督福音的忠信程度。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>26</span>Because today there are many who seek to lead us away “from the simplicity that is in Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3), you might accept Paul’s invitation to “examine [yourself], whether ye be in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>27</span>For example, you might ponder what you can eliminate from your life that will help you focus on Christ, or you might complete the “Attribute Activity” in Preach My Gospel, page 126.</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 12:2–4</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書12：2-4</div>
<div class='section'>What is “the third heaven,” and who was the man who was “caught up to” it?</div>
<div class='section'>「第三層天」是什麼？那個「被提……上去」的人是誰？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>In these verses, Paul was talking about himself, without mentioning himself directly—perhaps to avoid boasting about his remarkable vision.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>The phrase “the third heaven” refers to the celestial kingdom (see D&C 76:96–98).</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 12:5–10</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書12：5-10</div>
<div class='section'>The Savior’s grace is sufficient to help me find strength in my weakness.</div>
<div class='section'>救主的恩典足以幫助我在軟弱中找到力量。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>We don’t know what Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” was, but it’s easy to relate to his desire to have it removed.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>We all have challenges and problems that the Lord has not seen fit to remove from our lives.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>32</span>Think about your own challenges as you read 2 Corinthians 12:5–10.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>33</span>What did Paul teach about weakness?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>What does it mean to you that God’s grace is sufficient for you?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>35</span>How have you experienced God’s strengthening power?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>36</span>See also Mosiah 23:21–24; 24:10–15; Ether 12:27; Moroni 10:32–33.</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 13:1</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書13：1</div>
<div class='section'>What did Paul mean when he spoke of “two or three witnesses”?</div>
<div class='section'>保羅談到的「兩三個人的口作見證」，是什麼意思？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>37</span>In Old Testament times, two or three witnesses were required to bring an accusation against someone (see Deuteronomy 19:15).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>38</span>Paul cited this practice when he referred to his third visit to Corinth.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>39</span>Modern examples of this principle of multiple witnesses include the Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon, the testimonies of Jesus Christ provided by the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and the practice of missionaries testifying in companionships.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>40</span>As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>41</span>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 8–9</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書第8～9章</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>42</span>What do you find in these chapters that inspires your family to reach out to the poor and needy?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>43</span>This might be a good time to plan an act of service as a family for someone in need.</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 9:6–7</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書9：6-7</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>44</span>Does your family know someone who could be described as “a cheerful giver”?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>45</span>How can we make our service to others more cheerful?</p>
<div class='section'>2 Corinthians 10:3–7</div>
<div class='section'>哥林多後書10：3-7</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>46</span>How could you teach your family about our “warfare” against wickedness?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>47</span>Would your family enjoy building a wall or a fort with chairs and blankets?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>48</span>This could lead to a discussion about how to cast down things that lead us away from God and “[bring] into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>49</span>What are the spiritual “weapons” we use to control our thoughts? (see Ephesians 6:11–18).</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>53</span>Elder Richard G. Scott said: “Knowledge carefully recorded is knowledge available in time of need. …</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>54</span>[Recording spiritual direction] enhances the likelihood of your receiving further light”.</p>
