1 For indeed, concerning the ministry to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you?. 2 For I know your? readiness, which I boast of to Macedonians on behalf of you?, that Achaia has been prepared from a year ago, and your? zeal provoked the greater part. 3 But I sent the brothers so that our boasting that is on behalf of you? in this matter should not be made void, so that you? may be prepared, as I have been saying— 4 lest perhaps if Macedonians should come with me and should find you? unprepared, we would be put to shame—not that we might say you?—in this confidence. 5 Therefore I deemed it necessary to exhort the brothers that they should go before to you? and should complete beforehand your? foreannounced blessing, thus for this to be ready as a blessing and not as covetousness. 6 Now this: The one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one sowing upon blessings will also reap upon blessings, 7 each as he has purposed in the heart, not out of grief or out of necessity. For God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you?, so that in every way, always, having all sufficiency, you? may abound to every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:1-8, Berean Literal Bible.
