2 Corinthians 9:4 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,
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.
3 But I am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this matter, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be.
4 Otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated- to say nothing of you- for being so confident.
5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance for the gift you have promised, so that it may be ready as a willing gift, not as an exaction.
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Each one must give as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
9 As it is written, "He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
11 You will be enriched in every way for all your generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God.
13 By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission flowing from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others,
14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you.
15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
1 For G1063 CONJ as touching G4012 PREP the G3588 T-GSF ministering G1248 N-GSF to G1519 PREP the G3588 T-APM saints G40 A-APM , it is G2076 V-PXI-3S superfluous G4053 A-NSN for G3588 T-NSN me G3588 T-NSN to write G1125 V-PAN to you G5213 P-2DP :
2 For G1063 CONJ I know G1492 V-RAI-1S the G3588 T-ASF forwardness of your mind G4288 N-ASF , for which G3739 R-ASF I boast G2744 V-PNI-1S of G5228 PREP you G5216 P-2GP to them of Macedonia G3110 N-DPM , that G3754 CONJ Achaia G882 N-NSF was ready G3903 V-RPI-3S a year ago G575 PREP ; and CONJ your G5216 P-2GP zeal G2205 N-NSM hath provoked G2042 V-AAI-3S very many G4119 A-APM-C .
3 Yet G1161 CONJ have I sent G3992 V-AAI-1S the G3588 T-APM brethren G80 N-APM , lest G3363 our G3588 T-NSN boasting G2745 N-NSN of G5228 PREP you G5216 P-2GP should be in vain G2758 V-APS-3S in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSN behalf G3313 N-DSN ; that G2443 CONJ , as G2531 ADV I said G3004 V-IAI-1S , ye may be G5600 V-PXS-2P ready G3903 V-RPP-NPM :
4 Lest haply G3381 CONJ if G1437 COND they of Macedonia G3110 N-NPM come G2064 V-2AAS-3P with G4862 PREP me G1698 P-1DS , and G2532 CONJ find G2147 V-2AAS-3P you G5209 P-2AP unprepared G532 A-APM , we G2249 P-1NP ( CONJ that CONJ we say G3004 V-PAS-1P not G3361 PRT-N , ye) should be G5210 P-2NP ashamed G2617 V-APS-1P in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSF same G3588 T-DSF confident G5287 N-DSF boasting G2746 N-GSF .
5 Therefore G3767 CONJ I thought G2233 V-ADI-1S it necessary G316 A-ASN to exhort G3870 V-AAN the G3588 T-APM brethren G80 N-APM , that G2443 CONJ they would go before G4281 V-2AAS-3P unto G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP , and G2532 CONJ make up beforehand G4294 V-AAS-3P your G5216 P-2GP bounty G2129 N-ASF , whereof ye had notice before G4293 V-RPP-ASF , that the same G5026 might be G1511 V-PXN ready G2092 A-ASF , as G5613 ADV a matter of bounty G2129 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ not G3361 PRT-N as G5618 of covetousness G4124 N-ASF .
6 But G1161 CONJ this G5124 D-NSN I say , He which soweth G4687 V-PAP-NSM sparingly G5340 ADV shall reap G2325 V-FAI-3S also G2532 CONJ sparingly G5340 ADV ; and G2532 CONJ he which soweth G4687 V-PAP-NSM bountifully G1909 PREP shall reap G2325 V-FAI-3S also G2532 CONJ bountifully G1909 PREP .
7 Every man G1538 A-NSM according as G2531 ADV he G3588 T-DSF purposeth G4255 V-PNI-3S in his heart G2588 N-DSF , so let him give ; not G3361 PRT-N grudgingly G3077 N-GSF , or G2228 PRT of G1537 PREP necessity G318 N-GSF : for G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM loveth G25 V-PAI-3S a cheerful G2431 A-ASM giver G1395 N-ASM .
8 And G1161 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM is able G1415 A-NSM to make all grace abound G4052 V-AAN toward G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP ; that G2443 CONJ ye , always G3842 ADV having G2192 V-PAP-NPM all G3956 A-ASF sufficiency G841 N-ASF in G1722 PREP all G3956 A-DSN things , may abound G4052 V-PAS-2P to G1519 PREP every G3956 A-ASF good G18 A-ASN work G2041 N-ASN :
9 ( ADV As ADV it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , He hath dispersed abroad G4650 V-AAI-3S ; he hath given G1325 V-AAI-3S to the G3588 T-DPM poor G3993 N-DPM : his G3588 T-NSF righteousness G1343 N-NSF remaineth G3306 V-PAI-3S forever G1519 PREP .
10 Now G1161 CONJ he that ministereth G2023 V-PAP-NSM seed G4690 N-ASN to the G3588 T-DSM sower G4687 V-PAP-DSM both G2532 CONJ minister G5524 V-AAO-3S bread G740 N-ASM for G1519 PREP your food G1035 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ multiply G4129 V-AAO-3S your G3588 T-ASM seed sown G4703 N-ASM , and G2532 CONJ increase G837 V-AAO-3S the G3588 T-APN fruits G1081 N-APN of G3588 T-GSF your G3588 T-GSF righteousness G1343 N-GSF ; )
11 Being enriched G4148 V-PPP-NPM in G1722 PREP every thing G3956 A-DSN to G1519 PREP all G3956 A-ASF bountifulness G572 N-ASF , which G3748 R-NSF causeth G2716 V-PNI-3S through G1223 PREP us G2257 P-1GP thanksgiving G2169 N-ASF to God G2316 N-DSM .
12 For G3754 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF administration G1248 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSF this G3588 T-GSF service G3009 N-GSF not G3756 PRT-N only G3440 ADV supplieth G4322 V-PAP-NSF the G3588 T-APN want G5303 N-APN of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM saints G40 A-GPM , but G235 CONJ is abundant G4052 V-PAP-NSF also G2532 CONJ by G1223 PREP many G4183 A-GPF thanksgivings G2169 N-GPF unto God G2316 N-DSM ;
13 While by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSF experiment G1382 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSF this G3588 T-GSF ministration G1248 N-GSF they G3588 T-ASM glorify G1392 V-PAP-NPM God G2316 N-ASM for G3588 T-GSF your G3588 T-GSF professed G3671 N-GSF subjection G5292 N-DSF unto G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASN gospel G2098 N-ASN of Christ G5547 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ for G3588 T-GSF your G3588 T-GSF liberal G572 N-DSF distribution G2842 N-GSF unto G1519 PREP them G846 P-APM , and G2532 CONJ unto G1519 PREP all G3956 A-APM men ;
14 And G2532 CONJ by their G846 P-GPM prayer G1162 N-DSF for G5228 PREP you G5216 P-2GP , which long after G1971 V-PAP-GPM you G5209 P-2AP for G1223 PREP the G3588 T-ASF exceeding G5235 V-PAP-ASF grace G5485 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM in G1909 PREP you G5213 P-2DP .
15 Thanks G5485 N-NSF be unto God G2316 N-DSM for G1909 PREP his G3588 T-DSF unspeakable G411 A-DSF gift G1431 N-DSF .
