rwp@2Corinthians:9:5 @{I thought} (\hegsamn\). Epistolary aorist again. See strkjv@Phillipians:2:25| for the expression here. {Go before} (\proelthsin\). Second aorist active of \proerchomai\. Go to you before I come. {Make up beforehand} (\prokatartissi\). Late and rare double compound verb \prokatartiz\ (in Hippocrates). Only here in N.T. See \katartiz\ in strkjv@1Corinthians:1:10|. {Your afore-promised bounty} (\tn proepggelmenn eulogian humn\). "Blessing" (\eulogia\) literally, but applied to good deeds also as well as good words (Genesis:33:11|). Note third use of "pro" before. He literally rubs it in that the pledge was overdue. {That the same might be ready} (\tautn hetoimn einai\). Here the infinitive alone (\einai\) is used to express purpose without \hste\ or \eis to\ or \pros to\ with the accusative of general reference (\tautn\). The feminine form \hetoimn\ is regular (1Peter:1:5|) though \hetoimos\ also occurs with the feminine like the masculine (Matthew:25:10|). {And not of extortion} (\kai m hs pleonexian\). "And not as covetousness." Some offerings exhibit covetousness on the part of the giver by their very niggardliness.
