2nd Corinthians Chapter 9 American Standard-ASV1901

2nd Corinthians 9:1

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

2nd Corinthians 9:2

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.

2nd Corinthians 9:3

But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:

2nd Corinthians 9:4

lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.

2nd Corinthians 9:5

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.

2nd Corinthians 9:6

But this `I say,' He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

2nd Corinthians 9:7

`Let' each man `do' according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

2nd Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:

2nd Corinthians 9:9

as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.

2nd Corinthians 9:10

And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

2nd Corinthians 9:11

ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

2nd Corinthians 9:12

For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

2nd Corinthians 9:13

seeing that through the proving `of you' by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of `your' contribution unto them and unto all;

2nd Corinthians 9:14

while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

2nd Corinthians 9:15

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
