¹ G1063 For G3303 as G4012 touching G1248 the ministering G1519 to G40 the saints G2076 , it is [G5748]   G4053 superfluous G3427 for me G1125 to write [G5721]   G5213 to you:

² G1063 For G1492 I know [G5758]   G4288 the forwardness of G5216 your G4288 mind G3739 , for which G2744 I boast [G5736]   G5228 of G5216 you G3110 to them of Macedonia G3754 , that G882 Achaia G3903 was ready [G5769]   G4070 a year G575 ago G2532 ; and G5216 your G2205 zeal G1537   G2042 hath provoked [G5656]   G4119 very many.

³ G1161 Yet G3992 have I sent [G5656]   G80 the brethren G3363 , lest G2257 our G2745 boasting G5228 of G5216 you G2758 should be in vain [G5686]   G1722 in G5129 this G3313 behalf G2443 ; that G2531 , as G3004 I said [G5707]   G5600 , ye may be [G5753]   G3903 ready [G5772]  :

⁴ G3381 Lest G4458 haply G1437 if G3110 they of Macedonia G2064 come [G5632]   G4862 with G1698 me G2532 , and G2147 find [G5632]   G5209 you G532 unprepared G2249 , we G3363 (that G3004 we say [G5725]   G3363 not G5210 , ye G2617 ) should be ashamed [G5686]   G1722 in G5026 this same G5287 confident G2746 boasting.

⁵ G3767 Therefore G2233 I thought [G5662]   G316 it necessary G3870 to exhort [G5658]   G80 the brethren G2443 , that G4281 they would go before [G5632]   G1519 unto G5209 you G2532 , and G4294 make up beforehand [G5661]   G5216 your G2129 bounty G4293 , whereof ye had notice before [G5772]   G5026 , that the same G1511 might be [G5750]   G2092 ready G3779 , G5613 as G2129 a matter of bounty G2532 , and G3361 not G5618 as G4124 of covetousness.

⁶ G1161 But G5124 this G4687 I say, He which soweth [G5723]   G5340 sparingly G2325 shall reap [G5692]   G2532 also G5340 sparingly G2532 ; and G4687 he which soweth [G5723]   G1909 bountifully G2129   G2325 shall reap [G5692]   G2532 also G1909 bountifully G2129  .

⁷ G1538 Every man G2531 according as G4255 he purposeth [G5736]   G2588 in his heart G3361 , so let him give; not G1537 grudgingly G3077   G2228 , or G1537 of G318 necessity G1063 : for G2316 God G25 loveth [G5719]   G2431 a cheerful G1395 giver.

⁸ G1161 And G2316 God G1415 is able G4052 to make G3956 all G5485 grace G4052 abound [G5658]   G1519 toward G5209 you G2443 ; that G3842 ye, always G2192 having [G5723]   G3956 all G841 sufficiency G1722 in G3956 all G4052 things, may abound [G5725]   G1519 to G3956 every G18 good G2041 work:

⁹ G2531 (As G1125 it is written [G5769]   G4650 , He hath dispersed abroad [G5656]   G1325 ; he hath given [G5656]   G3993 to the poor G846 : his G1343 righteousness G3306 remaineth [G5719]   G1519 for G165 ever.

¹⁰ G1161 Now G2023 he that ministereth [G5723]   G4690 seed G4687 to the sower [G5723]   G2532 both G5524 minister [G5659]   G740 bread G1519 for G1035 your food G2532 , and G4129 multiply [G5659]   G5216 your G4703 seed sown G2532 , and G837 increase [G5659]   G1081 the fruits G5216 of your G1343 righteousness;)

¹¹ G4148 Being enriched [G5746]   G1722 in G3956 every thing G1519 to G3956 all G572 bountifulness G3748 , which G2716 causeth [G5736]   G1223 through G2257 us G2169 thanksgiving G2316 to God.

¹² G3754 For G1248 the administration G5026 of this G3009 service G3756 not G3440 only G2076 supplieth [G5748]   G4322   [G5723]   G5303 the want G40 of the saints G235 , but G4052 is abundant [G5723]   G2532 also G1223 by G4183 many G2169 thanksgivings G2316 unto God;

¹³ G1223 Whiles by G1382 the experiment G5026 of this G1248 ministration G1392 they glorify [G5723]   G2316 God G1909 for G5216 your G3671 professed G5292 subjection G1519 unto G2098 the gospel G5547 of Christ G2532 , and G572 for your liberal G2842 distribution G1519 unto G846 them G2532 , and G1519 unto G3956 all men;

¹⁴ G2532 And G846 by their G1162 prayer G5228 for G5216 you G1971 , which long after [G5723]   G5209 you G1223 for G5235 the exceeding [G5723]   G5485 grace G2316 of God G1909 in G5213 you.

¹⁵ G1161   G5485 Thanks G2316 be unto God G1909 for G846 his G411 unspeakable G1431 gift.
