For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: |

9:1 ¶
For°
as°
touching°°
the°
ministering°
to°
the°
saints,°
it is°°
superfluous°
for me°
to write°°
to you:° |
9:2
for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them. |
|
9:2
For°
I know°°
the°
forwardness of°°
your°
mind,°°
for which°
I boast°°
of°
you°
to them of Macedonia,°
that°
Achaia°
was ready°°
a year°
ago;°°
and°°
your°
zeal°°
hath provoked°°
very many.° |
9:3
But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: |
|
9:3
Yet°
have I sent°°
the°
brethren,°
lest°
our°
boasting°
of°
you°
should be in vain°°
in°
this°
behalf;°
that,°
as°
I said,°°
ye may be°°
ready:°° |
9:4
lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. |
|
9:4
Lest°
haply°°
if°
they of Macedonia°
come°°
with°
me,°
and°
find°°
you°
unprepared,°
we°
(that°°°
we say°°
not,°°
ye)°
should be°
ashamed°°
in°
this same°
confident°
boasting.° |
9:5
I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion. |
|
9:5
Therefore°
I thought°°
it necessary°
to exhort°°
the°
brethren,°
that°
they would go before°°
unto°
you,°
and°
make up beforehand°°
your°
bounty,°
whereof ye had notice before,°°
that the same°
might be°°
ready,°°
as°
[a matter of] bounty,°
and°
not°
as°
[of] covetousness.° |
9:6
But this [I say], He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. |
|
9:6
But°
this°
[I say], He which soweth°°
sparingly°
shall reap°°
also°
sparingly;°
and°
he which soweth°°
bountifully°°
shall reap°°
also°
bountifully.°° |
9:7
[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. |
|
9:7
Every man°
according as°
he purposeth°°
in his heart,°
[so let him give]; not°
grudgingly,°°
or°
of°
necessity:°
for°
God°
loveth°°
a cheerful°
giver.° |
9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: |
|
9:8
And°
God°
[is] able°
to make°°
all°
grace°
abound°°°°
toward°
you;°
that°
ye, always°
having°°
all°
sufficiency°
in°
all°
[things], may abound°°
to°
every°
good°
work:° |
9:9
as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. |
|
9:9
(As°
it is written,°°
He hath dispersed abroad;°°
he hath given°°
to the°
poor:°
his°
righteousness°
remaineth°°
for°
ever.°° |
9:10
And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: |
|
9:10
Now°
he that ministereth°°
seed°
to the°
sower°°
both°
minister°°
bread°
for°
[your] food,°
and°
multiply°°
your°
seed sown,°
and°
increase°°
the°
fruits°
of your°
righteousness;)° |
9:11
ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. |
|
9:11
Being enriched°°
in°
every thing°
to°
all°
bountifulness,°
which°
causeth°°
through°
us°
thanksgiving°
to God.° |
9:12
For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; |
|
9:12
For°
the°
administration°
of this°
service°
not°
only°
supplieth°°°°
the°
want°
of the°
saints,°
but°
is abundant°°
also°
by°
many°
thanksgivings°
unto God;° |
9:13
seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all; |
|
9:13
Whiles by°
the°
experiment°
of this°
ministration°
they glorify°°
God°
for°
your°
professed°
subjection°
unto°
the°
gospel°
of Christ,°
and°
for [your] liberal°
distribution°
unto°
them,°
and°
unto°
all°
[men]; |
9:14
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you. |
|
9:14
And°
by their°
prayer°
for°
you,°
which long after°°
you°
for°
the°
exceeding°°
grace°
of God°
in°
you.° |
9:15
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. |
