2 Corinthians 9

1 Now [I want to write] more about the gift [of money] [EUP] that [you and other believers are preparing to send] to the believers [in Judea province]. I do not [really] need to [continue writing to you about it],

about on the other hand for the/this/who service the/this/who toward the/this/who holy: saint excessive me to be the/this/who to write you

2 because I already know that you really want to help them. In fact, I have been boasting [about you], telling the [believers here in] Macedonia [province] that [you people in] Achaia [province] have been ready to help, since last year. As a result, because you are very eager to help [the believers in Judea province], you have made most of [the believers here in Macedonia province also want] to give [a gift].

to know for the/this/who eagerness you which above/for you to boast Macedonia that/since: that Achaia to prepare away from last year and (the/this/who *N+kO) (out from *k) you zeal to provoke/irritate the/this/who greater

3 However, I am sending Titus and the other two believers in order that [they will be able to help you finish collecting the money. Then when I and others arrive later, the people with me will see for themselves that] the things that I have been boasting about you are true [LIT]. [I want] you [to have your gift] ready [for us(exc) to take to Jerusalem], just like I have been telling others that you were ready.

to send then the/this/who brother in order that/to not the/this/who pride me the/this/who above/for you to empty in/on/among the/this/who part this/he/she/it in order that/to as/just as to say to prepare to be

4 When I come, if any of [the believers from] Macedonia come with me, [I do not want them to find that your gift is] [MTY, EUP] not ready. If that were [to happen], I would be very ashamed, and you yourselves would be even more ashamed.

not how if to come/go with I/we Macedonia and to find/meet you unprepared to dishonor me in order that/to not (to say *N+kO) you in/on/among the/this/who confidence/essence this/he/she/it (the/this/who pride *K)

5 So that is why I felt that it was necessary to urge these [three] believers to go [and visit] you before I [come. In that way, they would be able to help you finish] collecting the generous gift [EUP] that had been promised by you {you had said you would give}. [If you do that, not only will] the gift be ready [by the time that we arrive, but everyone will see that you have given because you really want to give, and] not because anyone has forced you to give.

necessary therefore/then to govern to plead/comfort the/this/who brother in order that/to to go before (toward *NK+o) you and to arrange the/this/who (to promise *N+KO) praise you this/he/she/it ready to exist thus(-ly) as/when praise and not (as/when *N+kO) greediness

6 Do not forget this: “[A farmer] who sows only a few [seeds] will not gather/reap a large [harvest], but the one who sows a lot [of seeds] will gather/reap a large [harvest] [MET].” [Similarly, if you give just a little to help others, God will give you only a few blessings. But if you give willingly and cheerfully to help people, you will receive in return many blessings from God].

this/he/she/it then the/this/who to sow sparingly sparingly and to reap and the/this/who to sow upon/to/against praise upon/to/against praise and to reap

7 Each of you should decide how much you [(sg)] should give, [and then give that amount]. You [(sg)] should not [be thinking to yourself], “[I really] do not want to give this money.” [And you(sg) should] not give [just] because someone tells [you to give. Instead, you should give willingly and cheerfully], because God loves those who give cheerfully.

each as/just as (to predetermine *N+kO) the/this/who heart not out from grief or out from necessity cheerful for giver to love the/this/who God

8 Moreover, God can enable you to [give to others cheerfully. If you give that way], God will [in return] give you many good blessings. He will do that so that at all times you will always have everything that you need. Indeed, you will have even more [than you need. As a result, you will be able to do] many more good things [to help others].

(be able *N+kO) then the/this/who God all grace to exceed toward you in order that/to in/on/among all always all self-sufficiency to have/be to exceed toward all work good

9 [Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn g165)

as/just as to write to scatter to give the/this/who poor the/this/who righteousness it/s/he to stay toward the/this/who an age: eternity (aiōn g165)

10 [God always] gives seeds to farmers to plant, and also gives them food to eat. [So, similarly, God will] always make it possible for you to have enough money [MET], so that you will be able more and more to generously [help those who are needy].

the/this/who then to supply (seed *N+kO) the/this/who to sow and bread toward eating (to provide *N+kO) and (to multiply *N+kO) the/this/who seed you and (to grow *N+kO) the/this/who (produce *N+kO) the/this/who righteousness you

11 [God] will [give you] many blessings in many different ways as a result of your generously [helping others]. Furthermore, [the] generous [gift that you are getting ready for] us [(exc) to take to the believers in Judea province] will cause [many people] to thank God.

in/on/among all to enrich toward all openness who/which to workout/produce through/because of me thankfulness the/this/who God

12 [Also remember that] when you give money to [EUP] help God’s people, you not only give them what they need, but also, [because of that], [many people will] thank God very much [for you and for what you have done].

that/since: since the/this/who service the/this/who ministry this/he/she/it no alone to be to supply the/this/who deficiency the/this/who holy: saint but and to exceed through/because of much thankfulness the/this/who God

13 As a result of your giving [money to help others], they will praise God, not only because you have believed the good message about Christ, but also because you have [generously given some of your possessions] so that they and other [believers will all have] ([enough/their needs supplied]).

14 Also, when they pray for you, [asking God to bless you, they will remember how grateful they are] [IDM] that God [caused you to give] very willingly and cheerfully.

and it/s/he petition above/for you to long for you through/because of the/this/who to surpass grace the/this/who God upon/to/against you

15 [Finally, we should all] thank God [because he gave us the greatest gift of all when he sent his Son to save/rescue us(inc)] ([from the guilt of our sin/from being punished for our sin]). That is a gift too wonderful for anyone to be able to tell about completely!
