2 Cor. 7-10
Paul seems a little desperate in these verses. The Corinthians were apparently not happy about the first letter (2 Cor. 7:8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my last letter, I do not regret it), so they may be cutting Paul off financially to make a "statement". This sounds extremely familiar. Money talks.
Paul wants the "church" to accept the Gentile mission. He wants the Gentiles to show their support with their money.
I hope you can find a Bible that shows you how much Paul quotes from the Old Testament. I left my Bible that shows all that info at the church today. Paul does know his OT.
The only quote that sounded familiar to me was 2 Cor. 9:6-7. Check it out on http://www.biblegateway.com/.
Happy Sabbath for those of you who can rest.
