2Corinthians:9:3-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Yet have I sent (
5656 )
the brethren ,
lest our boasting of you should be in vain (
5686 )
in this behalf ;
that ,
as I said (
5707 ),
ye may be (
5753 )
ready (
5772 ):
*
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come (
5632 )
with me ,
and find (
5632 )
you unprepared ,
we (
that we say (
5725 )
not ,
ye )
should be ashamed (
5686 )
in this same confident boasting .
*
Therefore I thought (
5662 )
it necessary to exhort (
5658 )
the brethren ,
that they would go before (
5632 )
unto you ,
and make up beforehand (
5661 )
your bounty ,
whereof ye had notice before (
5772 ),
that the same might be (
5750 )
ready ,
as a matter of bounty ,
and not as of covetousness .
