2 Corinthians 9

1 about on the other hand for the/this/who service the/this/who toward the/this/who holy: saint excessive me to be the/this/who to write you

As to the services which are being rendered to God's people, it is really unnecessary for me to write to you.

2 to know for the/this/who eagerness you which above/for you to boast Macedonia that/since: that Achaia to prepare away from last year and (the/this/who *N(k)O*) (out from *k*) you zeal to provoke/irritate the/this/who greater

For I know your earnest willingness, on account of which I habitually boast of you to the Macedonians, pointing out to them that for a whole year you in Greece have been ready; and the greater number of them have been spurred on by your ardour.

3 to send then the/this/who brother in order that/to not the/this/who pride me the/this/who above/for you to empty in/on/among the/this/who part this/he/she/it in order that/to as/just as to say to prepare to be

Still I send the brethren in order that in this matter our boast about you may not turn out to have been an idle one; so that, as I have said, you may be ready;

4 not how if to come/go with I/we Macedonia and to find/meet you unprepared to dishonor me in order that/to not (to say *N(k)O*) you in/on/among the/this/who confidence/essence this/he/she/it (the/this/who pride *K*)

for fear that, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to say you yourselves--should be put to the blush in respect to this confidence.

5 necessary therefore/then to govern to plead/comfort the/this/who brother in order that/to to go before (toward *NK(o)*) you and to arrange the/this/who (to promise *N(K)O*) praise you this/he/she/it ready to exist thus(-ly) as/when praise and not (as/when *N(k)O*) greediness

I have thought it absolutely necessary therefore to request these brethren to visit you before I myself come, and to make sure beforehand that the gift of love which you have already promised may be ready as a gift of love, and may not seem to have been something which I have extorted from you.

6 this/he/she/it then the/this/who to sow sparingly sparingly and to reap and the/this/who to sow upon/to/against praise upon/to/against praise and to reap

But do not forget that he who sows with a niggardly hand will also reap a niggardly crop, and that he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 each as/just as (to predetermine *N(k)O*) the/this/who heart not out from grief or out from necessity cheerful for giver to love the/this/who God

Let each contribute what he has decided upon in his own mind, and not do it reluctantly or under compulsion. "It is a cheerful giver that God loves."

8 (be able *N(k)O*) then the/this/who God all grace to exceed toward you in order that/to in/on/among all always all self-sufficiency to have/be to exceed toward all work good

And God is able to bestow every blessing on you in abundance, so that richly enjoying all sufficiency at all times, you may have ample means for all good works.

9 as/just as to write to scatter to give the/this/who poor the/this/who righteousness it/s/he to stay toward the/this/who an age: eternity (aiōn g165)

As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his almsgiving remains for ever." (aiōn g165)

10 the/this/who then to supply (seed *N(k)O*) the/this/who to sow and bread toward eating (to provide *N(k)O*) and (to multiply *N(k)O*) the/this/who seed you and (to grow *N(k)O*) the/this/who (produce *N(k)O*) the/this/who righteousness you

And God who continually supplies seed for the sower and bread for eating, will supply you with seed and multiply it, and will cause your almsgiving to yield a plentiful harvest.

11 in/on/among all to enrich toward all openness who/which to workout/produce through/because of me thankfulness the/this/who God

May you be abundantly enriched so as to show all liberality, such as through our instrumentality brings thanksgiving to God.

12 that/since: since the/this/who service the/this/who ministry this/he/she/it no alone to be to supply the/this/who deficiency the/this/who holy: saint but and to exceed through/because of much thankfulness the/this/who God

For the service rendered in this sacred gift not only helps to relieve the wants of God's people, but it is also rich in its results and awakens a chorus of thanksgiving to God.

13 through/because of the/this/who test the/this/who service this/he/she/it to glorify the/this/who God upon/to/against the/this/who submission the/this/who confession you toward the/this/who gospel the/this/who Christ and openness the/this/who participation toward it/s/he and toward all

For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,

14 and it/s/he petition above/for you to long for you through/because of the/this/who to surpass grace the/this/who God upon/to/against you

while they themselves also in supplications on your behalf pour out their longing love towards you because of God's surpassing grace which is resting upon you.

15 grace (then *k*) the/this/who God upon/to/against the/this/who indescribable it/s/he free gift

Thanks be to God for His unspeakably precious gift!
