2 COR 9:1  For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.

2 COR 9:2  For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many.

2 COR 9:3  Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:

2 COR 9:4  Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.

2 COR 9:5  Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.

2 COR 9:6  Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap blessings.

2 COR 9:7  Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2 COR 9:8  And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,

2 COR 9:9  As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever.

2 COR 9:10  And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:

2 COR 9:11  That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

2 COR 9:12  Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord,

2 COR 9:13  By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them, and unto all.

2 COR 9:14  And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you.

2 COR 9:15  Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
