2 Corinthians 9:1-5

1For 1it is superfluousG4053 for me to writeG1125 to you aboutG4012 thisG3588 2ministryG1248 to the 3saintsG40; 2for I knowG3609 your willingnessG4288, of whichG3739 I 4boastG2744 aboutG5228 you to the 5MacedoniansG3110, namely, that 6AchaiaG882 has been preparedG3903 sinceG575 7lastG4070 yearG4070, and your zealG2205 has stirredG2042 upG2042 mostG4183 of them. 3But I have sentG3992 the brothersG80, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 our 8boastingG2745 aboutG5228 you may not proveG2758 emptyG2758 in thisG3778 caseG3313, soG2443 thatG2443, 9as I was sayingG3004, you will be preparedG3903; 4otherwiseG3381, ifG1437 any 10MacedoniansG3110 comeG2064 with me and findG2147 you unpreparedG532, we--not to mentionG3004 you--would be putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617 by thisG3778 confidenceG5287. 5SoG3767 I consideredG2233 it necessaryG316 to urgeG3870 the 11brothersG80 that they goG4281 on aheadG4281 to you and arrangeG4294 inG4294 advanceG4294 your previouslyG4279 promisedG4279 1213generousG2129 giftG2129, that the sameG3778 would be readyG2092 as a 1415generousG2129 giftG2129, and not as one grudgingly given due to greedinessG4124.
