2 Corinthians 9:4-7
4otherwiseG3381 ifG1437 any 1MacedoniansG3110 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 2brethrenG80 that they would goG4281 on aheadG4281 to you and arrangeG4294 beforehandG4294 your previouslyG4279 promisedG4279 34bountifulG2129 giftG2129, soG3767 that the sameG3778 would be readyG2092 as a 56bountifulG2129 giftG2129 and not 78affectedG5613 by covetousnessG4124.
6NowG1161 thisG3778 I say, 9he who sowsG4687 sparinglyG5340 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 sparinglyG5340, and he who sowsG4687 10bountifullyG2129 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 11bountifullyG2129. 7EachG1538 oneG1538 must do justG2531 as he has purposedG4255 in his heartG2588, not 12grudginglyG1537G3077 orG2228 underG1537 compulsionG318, for 13GodG2316 lovesG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
