1 ᎾᏃ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏗᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎭ.
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 the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
3 ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᏥᏅᎵ ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎣᏣᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎩᏪᏒᎢ.
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
4 ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏱᏅᏩᏎᎦᏨ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᏱᎬᎩᏍᏓᏩᏕᏅ, ᏱᏨᏩᏛᏔᏅᏃ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎾ, ᎠᏴ, ( ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏱᎦᏗᎭ, ) ᏲᏣᏕᎰᎯ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᎪᎯᏳᎯ ᎣᎦᏢᏈᏒᎢ.
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
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.
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as [a matter of] bounty, and not as [of] covetousness.
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 which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 ᎾᏂᎥ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᏧᏂᎾᏫᏱ [ ᎠᏂᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ; ] ᎥᏝᏍᏗ ᏝᏉ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎ ᎤᏂᏗᏱ ᏥᏂᎨᎬᏁᎰ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᏁᏘ ᎠᎲᏍᎩ.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth 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;
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; )
11 ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏣᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎬᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎠᎦᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ.
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by 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;
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men];
14 ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎨᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏥᎨᏳᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏥᏁᎸᎢ.
And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏃᎮᎰᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ.
Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.
