rwp @2Corinthians:9:13 @{Seeing that they glorify God } (\doxazontes ton theon \). Anacoluthon again . The nominative participle used independently like \ploutizomenoi \ in verse 11 |. {Obedience } (\hupotag ˆi \). Late and rare word from \hupotass “\, to subject , middle to obey . Only in Paul in N .T . {Of your confession } (\t ˆs homologias hum “n \). Old word from \homologe “\ (\homologos , homou , leg “\), to say together . It is either to profess (Latin _profiteor_ , to declare openly ) or to confess (Latin _confiteor_ , to declare fully , to say the same thing as another ). Both confess and profess are used to translate the verb and each idea is present in the substantive . Only the context can decide . Actions speak louder than words . The brethren in Jerusalem will know by this collection that Gentiles make as good Christians as Jews . {For the liberality of your contribution } (\haplot ˆti t ˆs koin “nias \). This is the point that matters just now . Paul drives it home . On this use of \koin “nia \ see on ¯8:4 |.
