2 Cor 9.6–15 is crucial for understanding Paul's collection for Jerusalem, and this investigation exegetically examines the text while giving particular attention to three dimensions: sapiential material, rhetoric, and the socio-economic nature of the Corinthian church. The study concludes that the sapiential material comes from a Hellenistic Jewish background, though it shares affinities with Greco-Roman themes. Paul employs deliberative logos in vv. 6–10 as he addresses those in the lower socio-economic levels of the church, while he primarily employs pathos in vv. 12–14 and addresses those in the higher socio-economic levels of the church.
