2 Corinthians 9:2-4

2For I know your eagerness, and I boast about you to the Macedonians, “Achaia has been ready since last year,” and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

3But I am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter would not prove empty, and so that you would be ready just as I said.

4Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, not to mention you, would be put to shame in that situation.
