For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 ᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᏗᎦᎵᏱᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎦᏥᏯᏢᏈᏎᎭ, [ ᎦᏥᏃᏁᎭ ] ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎧᏯ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏑᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᎬᏩᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᏂᏣᏔ ᎤᏂᏖᎸᏅ.
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.
3 ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᏥᏅᎵ ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎣᏣᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎩᏪᏒᎢ.
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:
4 ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏱᏅᏩᏎᎦᏨ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᏱᎬᎩᏍᏓᏩᏕᏅ, ᏱᏨᏩᏛᏔᏅᏃ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎾ, ᎠᏴ, ( ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏱᎦᏗᎭ, ) ᏲᏣᏕᎰᎯ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᎪᎯᏳᎯ ᎣᎦᏢᏈᏒᎢ.
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.
5 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏎ ᏱᎦᏥᏁᏤᎸ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎠᏇᎵᏒᎩ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏫᎨᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏭᎾᏛᏅᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᏥᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏃᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎢᏥᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎢᏥᎨᏳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
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.
6 ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ [ ᏄᏍᏗ; ] ᎩᎶ ᎦᏲᎵ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏲᎵ ᎤᏍᎫᏕᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᎤᎪᏗ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᎪᏗ ᎤᏍᎫᏕᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
But this [I say], He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

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

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:
as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
10 ᎾᏍᎩᏃ Ꮎ ᎤᎦᏔ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏚ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏙᏗ ᎠᏓᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎪᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏫᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᏉᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎦᏔᏔᏅᎯ;
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:
11 ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏣᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎬᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎠᎦᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ.
ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

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;
13 ᎠᏂᎪᏩᏗᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎤᎾᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏛᏂᎸᏉᏔᏂ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎲ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᎨᏳᎿᎭᎥᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏥᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ;
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;
14 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎨᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏥᎨᏳᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏥᏁᎸᎢ.
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏃᎮᎰᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ.
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
