| 2nd-Corinthians 9:1 | For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: | But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints: | For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you. | For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto 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. | For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example. | For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren]. | For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many. |
| 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: | But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready: | But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared; | Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready: |
| 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. | For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing. | lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, *we*, that we say not *ye*, may be put to shame in this confidence. | Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter. |
| 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. | So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you. | I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you. | Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness. |
| 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. | But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them. | But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing: | Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap blessings. |
| 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. | Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver. | each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. | Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, 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: | And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work: | But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work: | And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to 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. | As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever. | according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever. | As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth 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: | And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness; | Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: | And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice: |
| 2nd-Corinthians 9:11 | ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. | Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us. | enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God. | That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, 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; | For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God; | Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God; | Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord, |
| 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; | For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all; | they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all; | By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating 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. | While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you. | and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you. | And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 9:15 | Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. | Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say. | Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift. | Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. |
