2 Corinthians 9:4-7
4otherwiseG3381, ifG1437 any 1MacedoniansG3110 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 2brothersG80 that they goG4281 on aheadG4281 to you and arrangeG4294 inG4294 advanceG4294 your previouslyG4279 promisedG4279 34generousG2129 giftG2129, that the sameG3778 would be readyG2092 as a 56generousG2129 giftG2129, and not as one grudgingly given due to greedinessG4124.
6NowG1161 I say thisG3778: 7the one who sowsG4687 sparinglyG5340 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 sparinglyG5340, and the one who sowsG4687 8generouslyG2129 will alsoG2532 reapG2325 9generouslyG2129. 7EachG1538 oneG1538 must do justG2531 asG2531 he has decidedG4255 in his heartG2588, not 10reluctantlyG1537G3077 orG2228 underG1537 compulsionG318, for 11GodG2316 lovesG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
