3 And I sent the brethren, lest our boasting for you be empty in this part; that, as I said, ye might be prepared: 4 Lest if in some way the Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we should be ashamed, (that we should not say, ye) in this principle of boasting. 5 Therefore I thought necessary to beseech the brethren that they go before to you, and prepare beforehand your praise, having been proclaimed beforehand, this same to be prepared, so as praise, and not as covetousness. 2 Corinthians 9:3-5, Smith's Literal Translation.
