No.

God’s law says that even if you break his rules unintentionally, you are guilty and will be held responsible. You are required to give God a sin offering before he will forgive you for what you didn’t mean to do.

Paul likes that the Corinthians are willing to give, but he says that doesn’t do any good if you don’t actually have anything to give.

And he says he doesn’t really care if people preach the gospel for the wrong reasons. All that matters is that people preach the gospel. As long as they’re doing that, Paul will be happy, even if they’re doing it “from false motives”.

Yes.

God’s law says if you kill someone on purpose, you should be executed. And if someone tries to take vengeance on you, they should be allowed. But if you kill someone by accident, you don’t deserve to die. If someone tries to take vengeance on you in that case, they should not be allowed.

Solomon suggests that God will judge you by your motives, which you may not even be conscious of.

God told Isaiah that he was not pleased with the Assyrians, even though they had done what God sent them to do, because they did it with the wrong intentions.

And James claims that the reason some Christians aren’t getting what they ask God for is that they’re asking with the wrong motives.
