2 Corinthians 9:1-7

1For concerningG4012 the ministration which [isG1510] for the saintsG40, it isG1510 superfluous my writingG1125 to you.

2For I know your readinessG4288, which I boastG2744 of as respects you to MacedoniansG3110, that AchaiaG882 is prepared since a yearG4070 ago, and the zealG2205 [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].

3But I have sentG3992 the brethren, in orderG2443 that our boastingG2745 about you may not beG1510 made voidG2758 in this respect, in orderG2443 that, as I have saidG3004, ye may beG1510 prepared;

4lestG3361 haply, if MacedoniansG3110 comeG2064 with me and findG2147 you unprepared, we, that we sayG3004 not ye, may be put to shameG2617 in this confidenceG5287.

5I thought it necessaryG316 thereforeG3767 to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessingG2129, that this may beG1510 readyG2092 thus as blessingG2129, and not as got out of you.

6But this [is true], he that sowsG4687 sparinglyG5340 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 sparinglyG5340; and he that sowsG4687 in [the spirit of] blessingG2129 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 in blessingG2129:

7each according as he is purposed in his heartG2588; not grievingly, or of necessityG318; for 1GodG2316 lovesG25 a cheerful giver.
