Book 47 : 2 CORINTHIANS - Chapter 009
009:001
For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of
you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago;
and your zeal hath provoked very many
009:002
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should
be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready
009:003
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you
unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this
same confident boasting
009:004
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that
they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your
bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be
ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness
009:005
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully
009:006
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him
give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
cheerful giver
009:007
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,
always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to
every good work
009:008
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to
the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever
009:009
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread
for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the
fruits of your righteousness;
009:010
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which
causeth through us thanksgiving to God
009:011
For the administration of this service not only supplieth the
want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
unto God
009:012
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God
for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and
for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men
009:013
And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the
exceeding grace of God in you
009:014
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift
