2 Corinthians 9:1-7
1For 1it is superfluousG4053 for me to writeG1125 to you aboutG4012 thisG3588 2ministryG1248 to the 3saintsG40; 2for I knowG3609 your readinessG4288, of whichG3739 I 4boastG2744 aboutG5228 you to the 5MacedoniansG3110, namely, that 6AchaiaG882 has been preparedG3903 sinceG575 7lastG4070 yearG4070, and your zealG2205 has stirredG2042 up mostG4183 of them. 3But I have sentG3992 the brethrenG80, in orderG2443 that our 8boastingG2745 aboutG5228 you may not be madeG2758 emptyG2758 in thisG3778 caseG3313, soG2443 that, 9as I was sayingG3004, you may be preparedG3903; 4otherwiseG3381 ifG1437 any 10MacedoniansG3110 comeG2064 with me and findG2147 you unpreparedG532, we--not to speakG3004 of you--will be putG2617 to shameG2617 by thisG3778 confidenceG5287. 5SoG3767 I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to urgeG3870 the 11brethrenG80 that they would goG4281 on aheadG4281 to you and arrangeG4294 beforehandG4294 your previouslyG4279 promisedG4279 1213bountifulG2129 giftG2129, soG3767 that the sameG3778 would be readyG2092 as a 1415bountifulG2129 giftG2129 and not 1617affectedG5613 by covetousnessG4124.
6NowG1161 thisG3778 I say, 18he who sowsG4687 sparinglyG5340 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 sparinglyG5340, and he who sowsG4687 19bountifullyG2129 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 20bountifullyG2129. 7EachG1538 oneG1538 must do justG2531 as he has purposedG4255 in his heartG2588, not 21grudginglyG1537G3077 orG2228 underG1537 compulsionG318, for 22GodG2316 lovesG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
