1
For it is superfluous
for me to write
to you about
this
ministry
to the saints;
2
for I know
your readiness,
of which
I boast
about
you to the Macedonians,
namely, that Achaia
has been prepared
since
last year,
and your zeal
has stirred
up most
of them.
3
But I have sent
the brethren,
in order
that our boasting
about
you may not be made empty
in this
case,
so
that, as I was saying,
you may be prepared;
4
otherwise
if
any Macedonians
come
with me and find
you unprepared,
we-- not to speak of you-- will be put to shame
by this
confidence.
5
So
I thought
it necessary
to urge
the brethren
that they would go on ahead
to you and arrange beforehand
your previously promised
bountiful
gift,
so
that the same
would be ready
as a
bountiful
gift
and not affected
by covetousness.
6
Now
this
I say, he who sows
sparingly
will also
reap
sparingly
,
and he who sows
bountifully
will also
reap
bountifully
.
7
Each one
must do just
as he has purposed
in his heart,
not grudgingly
or
under
compulsion,
for God
loves
a cheerful
giver.
8
And God
is able
to make
all
grace
abound
to you, so
that always
having
all
sufficiency
in everything,
you may have
an abundance
for every
good
deed;
9
as it is written,
"HE SCATTERED
ABROAD, HE GAVE
TO THE POOR,
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
ENDURES
FOREVER."
10
Now
He who supplies
seed
to the sower
and bread
for food
will supply
and multiply
your
seed
for sowing and increase
the harvest
of your righteousness;
11
you will be enriched
in everything
for all
liberality,
which
through
us is producing
thanksgiving
to God.
12
For the ministry
of this
service
is not only
fully supplying
the needs
of the saints,
but is also
overflowing
through
many
thanksgivings
to God.
13
Because
of the proof
given by this
ministry,
they will glorify
God
for your obedience
to your confession
of the gospel
of Christ
and for the liberality
of your contribution
to them and to all,
14
while they also,
by prayer
on your behalf,
yearn
for you because
of the surpassing
grace
of God
in you.
15
Thanks
be to God
for His indescribable
gift!
