For [1063] as [3303] touching [4012] the ministering [1248] to [1519] the saints [0040], it is [2076] [5748] superfluous [4053] for me [3427] to write [1125] [5721] to you [5213]:
2
For [1063] I know [1492] [5758] the forwardness of [4288] [0000] your [5216] mind [4288], for which [3739] I boast [2744] [5736] of [5228] you [5216] to them of Macedonia [3110], that [3754] Achaia [0882] was ready [3903] [5769] a year [4070] ago [0575]; and [2532] your [5216] zeal [2205] [1537] hath provoked [2042] [5656] very many [4119].
3
Yet [1161] have I sent [3992] [5656] the brethren [0080], lest [3363] our [2257] boasting [2745] of [5228] you [5216] should be in vain [2758] [5686] in [1722] this [5129] behalf [3313]; that [2443], as [2531] I said [3004] [5707], ye may be [5600] [5753] ready [3903] [5772]:
4
Lest [3381] haply [4458] if [1437] they of Macedonia [3110] come [2064] [5632] with [4862] me [1698], and [2532] find [2147] [5627] you [5209] unprepared [0532], we [2249] (that [2443] [3363] [0000] we say [3004] [5725] not [3363], ye [5210]) should be ashamed [2617] [5686] in [1722] this same [5026] confident [5287] boasting [2746].
5
Therefore [3767] I thought [2233] [5662] it necessary [0316] to exhort [3870] [5658] the brethren [0080], that [2443] they would go before [4281] [5632] unto [1519] you [5209], and [2532] make up beforehand [4294] [5661] your [5216] bounty [2129], whereof ye had notice before [4293] [5772], that the same [5026] might be [1511] [5750] ready [2092], [3779] as [5613] [a matter of] bounty [2129], and [2532] not [3361] as [5618] [of] covetousness [4124].
6
But [1161] this [5124] [I say], He which soweth [4687] [5723] sparingly [5340] shall reap [2325] [5692] also [2532] sparingly [5340]; and [2532] he which soweth [4687] [5723] bountifully [1909] [2129] shall reap [2325] [5692] also [2532] bountifully [1909] [2129].
7
Every man [1538] according as [2531] he purposeth [4255] [5736] in his heart [2588], [so let him give]; not [3361] grudgingly [1537] [3077], or [2228] of [1537] necessity [0318]: for [1063] God [2316] loveth [0025] [5719] a cheerful [2431] giver [1395].
8
And [1161] God [2316] [is] able [1415] to make [4052] [0000] all [3956] grace [5485] abound [4052] [5658] toward [1519] you [5209]; that [2443] ye, always [3842] having [2192] [5723] all [3956] sufficiency [0841] in [1722] all [3956] [things], may abound [4052] [5725] to [1519] every [3956] good [0018] work [2041]:
9
(As [2531] it is written [1125] [5769], He hath dispersed abroad [4650] [5656]; he hath given [1325] [5656] to the poor [3993]: his [0846] righteousness [1343] remaineth [3306] [5719] for [1519] ever [0165].
10
Now [1161] he that ministereth [2023] [5723] seed [4690] to the sower [4687] [5723] both [2532] minister [5524] [5659] bread [0740] for [1519] [your] food [1035], and [2532] multiply [4129] [5659] your [5216] seed sown [4703], and [2532] increase [0837] [5659] the fruits [1081] of your [5216] righteousness [1343])
11
Being enriched [4148] [5746] in [1722] every thing [3956] to [1519] all [3956] bountifulness [0572], which [3748] causeth [2716] [5736] through [1223] us [2257] thanksgiving [2169] to God [2316].
12
For [3754] the administration [1248] of this [5026] service [3009] not [3756] only [3440] supplieth [2076] [5748] [4322] [5723] the want [5303] of the saints [0040], but [0235] is abundant [4052] [5723] also [2532] by [1223] many [4183] thanksgivings [2169] unto God [2316];
13
Whiles by [1223] the experiment [1382] of this [5026] ministration [1248] they glorify [1392] [5723] God [2316] for [1909] your [5216] professed [3671] subjection [5292] unto [1519] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], and [2532] for [your] liberal [0572] distribution [2842] unto [1519] them [0846], and [2532] unto [1519] all [3956] [men];
14
And [2532] by their [0846] prayer [1162] for [5228] you [5216], which long after [1971] [5723] you [5209] for [1223] the exceeding [5235] [5723] grace [5485] of God [2316] in [1909] you [5213].
15
1161 Thanks [5485] [be] unto God [2316] for [1909] his [0846] unspeakable [0411] gift [1431].
