2 Corinthians 9

2 Corinthians 9:4

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.

I have often boasted of your liberality, in my speech with them of Macedonia: be ready, therefore, with your contribution; lest haply, if they of Macedonia should come with me to you, and find you unprepared, both we, that have boasted, and ye, of whom we have boasted, should be ashamed.

2 Corinthians 9:8

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:

VOL. IV. D d Neither do ye, in this your liberal contribution, make doubt of your own want, which may follow hereafter; for, be ye assured, that God, for whose sake ye give it, is able to furnish you with abundance of these and all other blessings; that ye always being all-sufficiently supplied by him, may, upon every occasion, give liberally to every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:10

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.

Now, I beseech that God, who is wont to requite abundantly all the good works of our beneficence, and to furnish the sower both with seed and increase, that he will provide liberally for you; and give you a plentiful harvest of the seed, which is thus sown by you; and multiply to you the fruits of this your just liberality.

2 Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Thanks be to God, for that grace of Christian bounty towards others, which he hath bestowed upon you; which is a gift of unspeakable value, and worthy of all thankful acknowledgment.
