| 1 | Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints, | The Offering for the Saints 2Cor.9.1-15 | Περὶ μὲν γὰρ τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἀγίους περισσόν μοί ἐστιν τὸ γράφειν ὑμῖν, | |
| 2 | for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most of them. | οἶδα γὰρ τὴν προθυμίαν ὑμῶν ἣν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καυχῶμαι Μακεδόσιν ὅτι Ἀχαΐα παρεσκεύασται ἀπὸ πέρυσι, καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν ζῆλος ἠρέθισεν τοὺς πλείονας. | ||
| 3 | But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be; | ἐπεμψα δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς, ἵνα μὴ τὸ καύχημα ἡμῶν τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κενωθῇ ἐν τῷ μέρει τούτῳ, ἵνα καθὼς ἐλεγον παρεσκευασμένοι ἦτε, | ||
| 4 | lest if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we be humiliated - to say nothing of you - for being so confident. | μή πως ἐὰν ἐλθωσιν σὺν ἐμοὶ Μακεδόνες καὶ εὑρωσιν ὑμᾶς ἀπαρασκευάστους καταισχυνθῶμεν ἡμεῖς, ἵνα μὴ λέγω ὑμεῖς, ἐν τῇ ὑποστάσει ταύτῃ. | ||
| 5 | So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift. | ἀναγκαῖον οὖν ἡγησάμην παρακαλέσαι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἵνα προέλθωσιν εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ προκαταρτίσωσιν τὴν προεπηγγελμένην εὐλογίαν ὑμῶν, ταύτην ἑτοίμην εἶναι οὑτως ὡς εὐλογίαν κα ὶ μὴ ὡς πλεονεξίαν. | ||
| 6 | The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. | Τοῦτο δέ, ὁ σπείρων φειδομένως φειδομένως καὶ θερίσει, καὶ ὁ σπείρων ἐπ' εὐλογίαις ἐπ' εὐλογίαις καὶ θερίσει. | ||
| 7 | Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. | - for God loves a cheerful giver. 2Cor.9.7 | Pr.22.8 | ἑκαστος καθὼς προῄρηται τῇ καρδίᾳ, μὴ ἐκ λύπης ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης, ἱλαρὸν γὰρ δότην ἀγαπᾷ ὁ θεός. | |
| 8 | And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. | δυνατεῖ δὲ ὁ θεὸς πᾶσαν χάριν περισσεῦσαι εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν παντὶ πάντοτε πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἐχοντες περισσεύητε εἰς πᾶν ἐργον ἀγαθόν, | ||
| 9 | As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; | - He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor 2Cor.9.9 | Ps.112.9 | καθὼς γέγραπται, Ἐσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκεν τοῖς πένησιν, | |
| 10 | He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. | ὁ δὲ ἐπιχορηγῶν σπόρον τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἀρτον εἰς βρῶσιν χορηγήσει καὶ πληθυνεῖ τὸν σπόρον ὑμῶν καὶ αὐξήσει τὰ γενήματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης ὑμῶν· | ||
| 11 | You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God; | ἐν παντὶ πλουτιζόμενοι εἰς πᾶσαν ἀπλότητα, ἡτις κατεργάζεται δῖ ἡμῶν εὐχαριστίαν τῷ θεῷ - | ||
| 12 | for the rendering of this service not only supplies the wants of the saints but also overflows in many thanksgivings to God. | ὁτι ἡ διακονία τῆς λειτουργίας ταύτης οὐ μόνον ἐστὶν προσαναπληροῦσα τὰ ὑστερήματα τῶν ἀγίων, ἀλλὰ καὶ περισσεύουσα διὰ πολλῶν εὐχαριστιῶν τῷ θεῷ - | ||
| 13 | Under the test of this service, you will glorify God by your obedience in acknowledging the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others; | διὰ τῆς δοκιμῆς τῆς διακονίας ταύτης δοξάζοντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπὶ τῇ ὑποταγῇ τῆς ὁμολογίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἀπλότητι τῆς κοινωνίας εἰς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἰς πάντας, | ||
| 14 | while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God in you. | καὶ αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς διὰ τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐφ' ὑμῖν. | ||
| 15 | Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift! | χάρις τῷ θεῷ ἐπὶ τῇ ἀνεκδιηγήτῳ αὐτοῦ δωρεᾷ. | ||
