2nd Corinthians Chapter 9 - King James Strong Number Version

1
For <G1063> as <G3303> touching <G4012> the ministering <G1248> to <G1519> the saints <G0040>, it is <G2076> <G5748> superfluous <G4053> for me <G3427> to write <G1125> <G5721> to you <G5213>:
2
For <G1063> I know <G1492> <G5758> the forwardness of <G4288> <G0000> your <G5216> mind <G4288>, for which <G3739> I boast <G2744> <G5736> of <G5228> you <G5216> to them of Macedonia <G3110>, that <G3754> Achaia <G0882> was ready <G3903> <G5769> a year <G4070> ago <G0575>; and <G2532> your <G5216> zeal <G2205> <G1537> hath provoked <G2042> <G5656> very many <G4119>.
3
Yet <G1161> have I sent <G3992> <G5656> the brethren <G0080>, lest <G3363> our <G2257> boasting <G2745> of <G5228> you <G5216> should be in vain <G2758> <G5686> in <G1722> this <G5129> behalf <G3313>; that <G2443>, as <G2531> I said <G3004> <G5707>, ye may be <G5600> <G5753> ready <G3903> <G5772>:
4
Lest <G3381> haply <G4458> if <G1437> they of Macedonia <G3110> come <G2064> <G5632> with <G4862> me <G1698>, and <G2532> find <G2147> <G5627> you <G5209> unprepared <G0532>, we <G2249> (that <G2443> <G3363> <G0000> we say <G3004> <G5725> not <G3363>, ye <G5210>) should be ashamed <G2617> <G5686> in <G1722> this same <G5026> confident <G5287> boasting <G2746>.
5
Therefore <G3767> I thought <G2233> <G5662> it necessary <G0316> to exhort <G3870> <G5658> the brethren <G0080>, that <G2443> they would go before <G4281> <G5632> unto <G1519> you <G5209>, and <G2532> make up beforehand <G4294> <G5661> your <G5216> bounty <G2129>, whereof ye had notice before <G4293> <G5772>, that the same <G5026> might be <G1511> <G5750> ready <G2092>, <G3779> as <G5613> [a matter of] bounty <G2129>, and <G2532> not <G3361> as <G5618> [of] covetousness <G4124>.
6
But <G1161> this <G5124> [I say], He which soweth <G4687> <G5723> sparingly <G5340> shall reap <G2325> <G5692> also <G2532> sparingly <G5340>; and <G2532> he which soweth <G4687> <G5723> bountifully <G1909> <G2129> shall reap <G2325> <G5692> also <G2532> bountifully <G1909> <G2129>.
7
Every man <G1538> according as <G2531> he purposeth <G4255> <G5736> in his heart <G2588>, [so let him give]; not <G3361> grudgingly <G1537> <G3077>, or <G2228> of <G1537> necessity <G0318>: for <G1063> God <G2316> loveth <G0025> <G5719> a cheerful <G2431> giver <G1395>.
8
And <G1161> God <G2316> [is] able <G1415> to make <G4052> <G0000> all <G3956> grace <G5485> abound <G4052> <G5658> toward <G1519> you <G5209>; that <G2443> ye, always <G3842> having <G2192> <G5723> all <G3956> sufficiency <G0841> in <G1722> all <G3956> [things], may abound <G4052> <G5725> to <G1519> every <G3956> good <G0018> work <G2041>:
9
(As <G2531> it is written <G1125> <G5769>, He hath dispersed abroad <G4650> <G5656>; he hath given <G1325> <G5656> to the poor <G3993>: his <G0846> righteousness <G1343> remaineth <G3306> <G5719> for <G1519> ever <G0165>.
10
Now <G1161> he that ministereth <G2023> <G5723> seed <G4690> to the sower <G4687> <G5723> both <G2532> minister <G5524> <G5659> bread <G0740> for <G1519> [your] food <G1035>, and <G2532> multiply <G4129> <G5659> your <G5216> seed sown <G4703>, and <G2532> increase <G0837> <G5659> the fruits <G1081> of your <G5216> righteousness <G1343>;)
11
Being enriched <G4148> <G5746> in <G1722> every thing <G3956> to <G1519> all <G3956> bountifulness <G0572>, which <G3748> causeth <G2716> <G5736> through <G1223> us <G2257> thanksgiving <G2169> to God <G2316>.
12
For <G3754> the administration <G1248> of this <G5026> service <G3009> not <G3756> only <G3440> supplieth <G2076> <G5748> <G4322> <G5723> the want <G5303> of the saints <G0040>, but <G0235> is abundant <G4052> <G5723> also <G2532> by <G1223> many <G4183> thanksgivings <G2169> unto God <G2316>;
13
Whiles by <G1223> the experiment <G1382> of this <G5026> ministration <G1248> they glorify <G1392> <G5723> God <G2316> for <G1909> your <G5216> professed <G3671> subjection <G5292> unto <G1519> the gospel <G2098> of Christ <G5547>, and <G2532> for [your] liberal <G0572> distribution <G2842> unto <G1519> them <G0846>, and <G2532> unto <G1519> all <G3956> [men];
14
And <G2532> by their <G0846> prayer <G1162> for <G5228> you <G5216>, which long after <G1971> <G5723> you <G5209> for <G1223> the exceeding <G5235> <G5723> grace <G5485> of God <G2316> in <G1909> you <G5213>.
15
Thanks <G5485> [be] unto God <G2316> for <G1909> his <G0846> unspeakable <G0411> gift <G1431>.
