| 9:1 | Of the ministrynge to the saynctes, it is but superfluous for me to wryte vnto you: |
| 9:2 | for I knowe your redynes of mynde whereof I boste my selfe vnto them of Macedonia, and saye that Achaia was prepared a yeare a go, and youre feruentnes hath prouoked manye. |
| 9:3 | Neuerthelesse yet haue I sent these brethren, lest oure reioysynge ouer you shoulde be in vayne in thys behalfe, and that ye (as I haue sayed) prepare your selues, |
| 9:4 | lest parauenture yf they of Macedonia come with me, and fynde you vnprepared, the bost that I made in thys matter, shoulde be a shame to vs. I saye not vnto you. |
| 9:5 | Wherfore I thought it necessarye to exhorte the brethren, to come before hande vnto you, for to prepare your good blessyng promysed afore, that it myght be redye, so that it be a blessynge, and not a defraudynge. |
| 9:6 | Thys yet remember, howe that he whiche soweth lyttell, shal reape lyttell, & he that soweth plentuously, shall reape plentuously. |
| 9:7 | And let euery man do accordyng as he hath purposed in hys hert, not groundgingly, or of necessitie. For God loueth a chearefull geuer. |
| 9:8 | God is able to make you ryche in al grace that ye in al thynges hauyng suffycyent vnto the vttermoste, maye be ryche vnto all maner good workes, |
| 9:9 | as it is wrytten. He that sparsed abroade, and hath geuen to the pore, hys ryghtuousnes, remayneth for euer. |
| 9:10 | He that fyndeth the sower seed, shall minister breade for fode, and shall multyplye your seede and increace the frutes of youre ryghtuousnes that on all partyes, |
| 9:11 | ye maye be made riche in all synglenes, whiche causeth thorowe vs, thankes geuynge vnto God. |
| 9:12 | For the offyce of thys ministracyon, not onelye supplyeth the neede of the saynctes: but also is aboundaunte herein, that for thys laudable mynystrynge, thankes myghte be geuen to God of many, |
| 9:13 | whiche prayse God for the obedience of youre professyng the Gospell of Christe, and for youre synglenes in distrybutynge to them and to all men, |
| 9:14 | and in theyr prayers to God for you, long after you, for the aboundaunce grace of God geuen vnto you. |
| 9:15 | Thankes be vnto God for hys vnspakeable gyfte. |
| 9:1 | For as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write vnto you. |
| 9:2 | For I knowe your readinesse of minde, whereof I boast my selfe of you vnto them of Macedonia, and say, that Achaia was prepared a yeere agoe, and your zeale hath prouoked many. |
| 9:3 | Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie: |
| 9:4 | Lest if they of Macedonia come with me, and finde you vnprepared, we (that wee may not say, you) should be ashamed in this my constant boasting. |
| 9:5 | Wherefore, I thought it necessarie to exhort the brethren to come before vnto you, and to finish your beneuolence appointed afore, that it might be readie, and come as of beneuolence, and not as of niggardlinesse. |
| 9:6 | This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally. |
| 9:7 | As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer. |
| 9:8 | And God is able to make all grace to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke, |
| 9:9 | (As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. |
| 9:10 | Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence,) |
| 9:11 | That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God. |
| 9:12 | For the ministration of this seruice not onely supplieth the necessities of the Saintes, but also aboundantly causeth many to giue thankes to God, |
| 9:13 | (Which by the experiment of this ministration praise God for your voluntarie submission to the Gospell of Christ, and for your liberall distribution to them, and to all men) |
| 9:14 | And in their praier for you, to log after you greatly, for the aboundant grace of God in you. |
| 9:15 | Thankes therefore bee vnto God for his vnspeakeable gift. |
| 9:1 | For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: |
| 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 | 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 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 | 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 which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. |
| 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 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 dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. |
| 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 | Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to 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 | 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 | And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. |
| 9:15 | Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. |
