2 Corinthians 9

1 He yieldeth the reason why, though he knew their forwardness, yet he sent Titus and his brethren beforehand. 6 And he proceedeth in stirring them up to a bountiful alms, as being but a kind of sowing seed, 10 which shall return a great increase to them, 13 and occasion a great sacrifice of thanksgivings unto God.

 9:1 ¶ For 1063 as y3303 touching 4012 x3303 the x3588 ministering 1248 to 1519 the x3588 saints, 40 it is 2076 z5748 superfluous 4053 for me 3427 to write 1125 z5721 to you: 5213

 9:2 For 1063 I know 1492 z5758 the x3588 forwardness of y4288 z0 your y5216 mind, 4288 x5216 for which 3739 I boast 2744 z5736 of 5228 you 5216 to them of Macedonia, 3110 that 3754 Achaia 882 was ready 3903 z5769 a year y4070 ago; 575 x4070 and 2532 x1537 your 5216 zeal 2205 y1537 hath provoked 2042 z5656 very many. 4119

 9:3 Yet 1161 have I sent 3992 z5656 the x3588 brethren, 80 lest 3363 our 2257 boasting 2745 of 5228 you 5216 should be in vain 2758 z5686 in 1722 this 5129 behalf; 3313 that, 2443 as 2531 I said, 3004 z5707 ye may be 5600 z5753 ready: 3903 z5772

 9:4 Lest y3381 haply y4458 x3381 if 1437 they of Macedonia 3110 come 2064 z5632 with 4862 me, 1698 and 2532 find 2147 z5627 you 5209 unprepared, 532 we 2249 (that y3363 z0 x2443 we say 3004 z5725 not, y3363 x3361 ye) y5210 should be x5210 ashamed 2617 z5686 in 1722 this same 5026 confident 5287 boasting. 2746

 9:5 Therefore 3767 I thought 2233 z5662 it necessary 316 to exhort 3870 z5658 the x3588 brethren, 80 that 2443 they would go before 4281 z5632 unto 1519 you, 5209 and 2532 make up beforehand 4294 z5661 your 5216 bounty, 2129 whereof ye had notice before, 4293 z5772 that the same 5026 might be 1511 z5750 ready, 2092 3779 as 5613 [a matter of] bounty, 2129 and 2532 not 3361 as 5618 [of] covetousness. 4124

 9:6 But 1161 this 5124 [I say], He which soweth 4687 z5723 sparingly 5340 shall reap 2325 z5692 also 2532 sparingly; 5340 and 2532 he which soweth 4687 z5723 bountifully 1909 2129 shall reap 2325 z5692 also 2532 bountifully. 1909 2129

 9:7 Every man 1538 according as 2531 he purposeth 4255 z5736 in his heart, 2588 [so let him give]; not 3361 grudgingly, 1537 3077 or 2228 of 1537 necessity: 318 for 1063 God 2316 loveth 25 z5719 a cheerful 2431 giver. 1395

 9:8 And 1161 God 2316 [is] able 1415 to make y4052 z0 all y3956 grace y5485 abound 4052 z5658 x3956 x5485 toward 1519 you; 5209 that 2443 ye, always 3842 having 2192 z5723 all 3956 sufficiency 841 in 1722 all 3956 [things], may abound 4052 z5725 to 1519 every 3956 good 18 work: 2041

 9:9 (As 2531 it is written, 1125 z5769 He hath dispersed abroad; 4650 z5656 he hath given 1325 z5656 to the x3588 poor: 3993 his 846 righteousness 1343 remaineth 3306 z5719 for y1519 ever. 165 x1519

 9:10 Now 1161 he that ministereth 2023 z5723 seed 4690 to the x3588 sower 4687 z5723 both 2532 minister 5524 z5659 bread 740 for 1519 [your] food, 1035 and 2532 multiply 4129 z5659 your 5216 seed sown, 4703 and 2532 increase 837 z5659 the x3588 fruits 1081 of your 5216 righteousness;) 1343

 9:11 Being enriched 4148 z5746 in 1722 every thing 3956 to 1519 all 3956 bountifulness, 572 which 3748 causeth 2716 z5736 through 1223 us 2257 thanksgiving 2169 to God. 2316

 9:12 For 3754 the x3588 administration 1248 of this 5026 service 3009 not 3756 only 3440 supplieth 2076 4322 z5748 z5723 the x3588 want 5303 of the x3588 saints, 40 but 235 is abundant 4052 z5723 also 2532 by 1223 many 4183 thanksgivings 2169 unto God; 2316

 9:13 Whiles by 1223 the x3588 experiment 1382 of this 5026 ministration 1248 they glorify 1392 z5723 God 2316 for y1909 your 5216 professed 3671 subjection 5292 unto 1519 the x3588 gospel 2098 of Christ, 5547 and 2532 for [your] liberal 572 distribution 2842 unto 1519 them, 846 and 2532 unto 1519 all 3956 [men];

 9:14 And 2532 by their 846 prayer 1162 for 5228 you, 5216 which long after 1971 z5723 you 5209 for 1223 the x3588 exceeding 5235 z5723 grace 5485 of God 2316 in 1909 you. 5213

 9:15 1161 Thanks 5485 [be] unto God 2316 for 1909 his 846 unspeakable 411 gift. 1431
