<p>Paul's letter to the Corinthians about giving reveals three essential principles for Christians and money. First, Jesus's sacrificial love should be the foundation for all financial decisions - His generosity toward us should inspire generosity toward others. Second, money is good but temporary; like the manna in the wilderness, it's meant to be used according to God's design, not hoarded for selfish purposes. Third, people always take priority over financial considerations, though we must still be wise and discerning in our giving. Paul demonstrates this wisdom by establishing accountability systems to ensure donated funds reach their intended destination.</p>
