2 Corinthians 9:4-7

4Lest haplyG3381 ifG1437 they of MacedoniaG3110 comeG2064 withG4862 meG1473, andG2532 findG2147 youG4771 unpreparedG532, weG1473 (thatG2443 we sayG3004 notG3361, yeG4771) should be ashamedG2617 inG1722 this sameG3778 confidentG3588G5287 boastingG3588G2746. 5ThereforeG3767 I thought itG2233 necessaryG316 to exhortG3870 the brethrenG3588G80, thatG2443 they would go beforeG4281 untoG1519 youG4771, andG2532 make up beforehandG4294 yourG4771 bountyG2129, whereof ye had notice beforeG4293, that the sameG3778 might beG1510 readyG2092, asG5613 a matter of bountyG2129, andG2532 notG3361 asG5618 of covetousnessG4124.

6ButG1161 thisG3778 I say, HeG3588 which sowethG4687 sparinglyG5340 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 sparinglyG5340; andG2532 heG3588 which sowethG4687 bountifullyG2129 shall reapG2325 alsoG2532 bountifullyG2129. 7Every manG1538 according asG2531 he purposethG4255 in his heartG3588G2588, so let him give; notG3361 grudginglyG3077, orG2228 ofG1537 necessityG318: forG1063 GodG3588G2316 lovethG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
