2 Corinthians 9:3-5

3But I have sent the brothers, in order that our 1boasting about you may not prove empty in this case, so that, 2as I was saying, you will be prepared; 4otherwise, if any 3Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to mention you--would be put to shame by this confidence. 5So I considered it necessary to urge the 4brothers that they go on ahead to you and arrange in advance your previously promised 5 6generous gift, that the same would be ready as a 7 8generous gift, and not as one grudgingly given due to greediness.
