vw - 2Corinthians:9

vw@2Corinthians:9:1 @ Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;

vw@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your willingness, about which I exult of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.

vw@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, that our exulting of you should not be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

vw@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed in this confident exulting.

vw@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your bounty beforehand, which you had previously announced, that it may be ready as a blessing and not as greed.

vw@2Corinthians:9:6 @ But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

vw@2Corinthians:9:7 @ So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not from sorrow or out of duty; for God loves a cheerful giver.

vw@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound for every good work.

vw@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.

vw@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

vw@2Corinthians:9:11 @ while you are enriched in everything unto all sincerity, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

vw@2Corinthians:9:12 @ For the ministry of this service not only supplies what is lacking to the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

vw@2Corinthians:9:13 @ through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for your professed obedience to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

vw@2Corinthians:9:14 @ and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

vw@2Corinthians:9:15 @ Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.
