| 9:1 | For, indeed, concerning the ministration that `is' for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you, |
| 9:2 | for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part, |
| 9:3 | and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready, |
| 9:4 | lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we -- we may be put to shame (that we say not -- ye) in this same confidence of boasting. |
| 9:5 | Necessary, therefore, I thought `it' to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness. |
| 9:6 | And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap; |
| 9:7 | each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love, |
| 9:8 | and God `is' able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work, |
| 9:9 | (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,') |
| 9:10 | and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, |
| 9:11 | in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God, |
| 9:12 | because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God, |
| 9:13 | through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and `for' the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all, |
| 9:14 | and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you; |
| 9:15 | thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift! |
| 9:1 | Of the ministrynge to ye saynctes it is but superfluous for me to write vnto you: |
| 9:2 | for I knowe youre redynes of mide wherof I bost my silfe vnto them of Macedonia and saye that Achaia was prepared a yeare a goo and youre ferventnes hath provoked many. |
| 9:3 | Never thelesse yet have I sent these brethren lest oure reioysynge over you shuld be in vayne in this behalfe and that ye (as I have sayd) preparare youre selues |
| 9:4 | lest paraveture yf they of Macedonia come with me and fynde you vnprepared the boost that I made in this matter shuld be a shame to vs: I saye not vnto you. |
| 9:5 | Wherfore I thought it necessary to exhorte the brethren to come before hode vnto you forto prepare youre good blessynge promysed afore that it myght be redy: so yt it be a blessynge and not a defraudynge. |
| 9:6 | This yet remember howe that he which soweth lytell shall reepe lytell: and he yt soweth plenteously shall reepe plenteously. |
| 9:7 | And let every man do accordynge as he hath purposed in his herte not groudgyngly or of necessite. For god loveth a chearfull gever. |
| 9:8 | God is able to make you ryche in all grace that ye in all thynges havynge sufficiet vnto the vttmoste maye be ryche vnto all manner good workes |
| 9:9 | as it is written: He yt sparsed abroade and hath geven to the povre his rightewesnes remayneth for ever. |
| 9:10 | He yt fyndeth the sower seed shall minister breed for fode and shall multiplie youre seed and increace the frutes of youre rightewesnes |
| 9:11 | that on all parties ye maye be made ryche in all synglenes which causeth thorowe vs thankes gevynge vnto god. |
| 9:12 | For the office of this ministracion not only supplieth the nede of the sayntes: but also is aboundaunt herein that for this laudable ministrynge thankes myght be geven to god |
| 9:13 | of many whiche prayse god for the obedience of youre professynge ye gospell of Christ and for youre synglenes in distributynge to them and to all me: |
| 9:14 | and in their prayers to God for you longe after you for the aboundauut grace of God geven vnto you. |
| 9:15 | Thankes be vnto God for his vn speakeable gyft. |
| 9:1 | Of the handreachinge vnto ye sayntes, it is no nede for me to wryte vnto you: |
| 9:2 | for I knowe youre redynesse of mynde, wherof I boast my selfe amonge them of Macedonia, and saye: Achaia was ready a yeare agoo. And youre feruentnesse hath prouoked many. |
| 9:3 | Neuertheles yet haue we sent these brethren, lest oure reioysinge ouer you shulde be in vayne in this behalfe, that ye mighte be ready, as I haue reported of you: |
| 9:4 | lest whan they of Macedonia come with me, and fynde you vnprepared, we (I wyl not saye ye) shulde be ashamed in this presumpcion of boostinge. |
| 9:5 | Wherfore I thoughte it necessary to exhorte the brethren, to come before hande vnto you, for to prepare this blessynge promysed afore, that it mighte be ready, so that it be a blessynge, and not a defraudynge. |
| 9:6 | This I thynke: that he which soweth litle, shal reape litle also: and he yt soweth plenteously,shal likewyse reape plenteously, |
| 9:7 | euery one acordynge as he hath purposed in his hert, not grudgingly, or of compulsion. For God loueth a chearfull geuer. |
| 9:8 | God is able to make you riche in all grace, yt ye in all thinges hauynge sufficiet to the vttemost, maye be riche to all maner of good workes. |
| 9:9 | As it is wrytte: He hath sparsed abrode & geue to ye poore, his righteousnes remayneth for euer. |
| 9:10 | He that geueth sede vnto the sower, shal mynistre bred also for fode, and shal multiplye youre sede, and increase the frutes of yor righteousnes, |
