47_2CO_09_01 for as touching the ministering to the saints , it Is superfluous for me to write to you :
47_2CO_09_02 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 .
47_2CO_09_03 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 :
47_2CO_09_04 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 .
47_2CO_09_05 therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren , that they would go before unto you , And make up before hand your bounty , whereof ye had notice before , that the same might be ready , as [ A matter of ] bounty , And not as [ of ] covetousness .
47_2CO_09_06 but this [ I say ] , he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; And he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully .
47_2CO_09_07 every man according as he purposeth in his heart , [ So let him give ] ; not grudgingly , or of necessity : for God loveth A cheerful giver .
47_2CO_09_08 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 :
47_2CO_09_09 [ as it Is written , he hath dispersed abroad ; he hath given to the poor : his righteousness remaineth for ever .
47_2CO_09_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 ; ]
47_2CO_09_11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness , which causeth through us thanksgiving to God .
47_2CO_09_12 for the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints , but Is abundant also by Many thanksgivings unto God ;
47_2CO_09_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 ] ;
47_2CO_09_14 And by their prayer for you , which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you .
47_2CO_09_15 thanks [ be ] unto God for his unspeakable gift .
