NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

2 Corinthians 9

God Gives Most

1

For  ait is superfluousg4053 for me to writeg1125 to you aboutg4012 thisg3588  bministryg1248 to the  1saintsg40;

2

for I knowg3609a your readinessg4288, of whichg3739 I  aboastg2744 aboutg5228 you to the  bMacedoniansg3110, namely, that  cAchaiag882 has been preparedg3903 sinceg575  dlastg4070 yearg4070, and your zealg2205b has stirredg2042 up mostg4183 of them.

3

But I have sentg3992 the brethreng80, in orderg2443 that our  aboastingg2745 aboutg5228 you may not be madeg2758 emptyg2758 in thisg3778 caseg3313, sog2443 that,  bas I was sayingg3004, you may be preparedg3903;

4

otherwiseg3381 ifg1437 any  aMacedoniansg3110 comeg2064 with me and findg2147 you unpreparedg532, we--not to speakg3004 of you--will be putg2617b to shameg2617b by thisg3778 confidenceg5287.

5

Sog3767 I thoughtg2233 it necessaryg316 to urgeg3870 the  abrethreng80 that they would gog4281 on aheadg4281 to you and arrangeg4294 beforehandg4294 your previouslyg4279 promisedg4279  1 bbountifulg2129 giftg2129, sog3767 that the sameg3778 would be readyg2092 as a  1 cbountifulg2129 giftg2129 and not  2 daffectedg5613 by covetousnessg4124.

6

Nowg1161 thisg3778 I say,  ahe who sowsg4687 sparinglyg5340 will alsog2532 reapg2325 sparinglyg5340, and he who sowsg4687  1bountifullyg2129 will alsog2532 reapg2325  1bountifullyg2129.

7

Eachg1538 oneg1538 must do justg2531a as he has purposedg4255 in his heartg2588, not  agrudginglyg1537g3077 org2228 underg1537 compulsiong318, for  bGodg2316 lovesg25 a cheerfulg2431 giverg1395.

8

And  aGodg2316 is ableg1414 to makeg4052 allg3956 graceg5485 aboundg4052 to you, sog2443 that alwaysg3842 havingg2192 allg3956 sufficiencyg841 in everythingg3956, you may haveg2192 an abundanceg4052 for everyg3956 goodg18 deedg2041;

9

as it is writteng1125, " aHE SCATTEREDg4650 ABROAD, HE GAVEg1325 TO THE POORg3993, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESSg1343  1ENDURESg3306 FOREVERg165."

10

Nowg1161 He who suppliesg2023  aseedg4690 to the sowerg4687 and breadg740 for foodg1035 will supplyg5524 and multiplyg4129 your seedg4703 for sowing and  bincreaseg837 the harvestg1079b of your righteousnessg1343;

11

you will be  aenrichedg4148 in everythingg3956 for allg3956 liberalityg572, whichg3748 throughg1223 us is producingg2716  bthanksgivingg2169 to Godg2316.

12

For the ministryg1248 of thisg3778 serviceg3009 is not onlyg3440 fullyg4322 supplyingg4322  athe needsg5303 of the  1saintsg40, but is alsog2532 overflowingg4052  bthroughg1223 manyg4183 thanksgivingsg2169 to Godg2316.

13

Becauseg1223 of the proofg1382 given by thisg3778  aministryg1248, they will  bglorifyg1392 Godg2316 for your obedienceg5292 to your  cconfessiong3671 of the  dgospelg2098 of Christg5547 and for the liberalityg572 of your  1contributiong2842 to them and to allg3956,

14

while they alsog2532, by prayerg1162 on your behalfg5228, yearng1971 for you becauseg1223 of the surpassingg5235 graceg5485 of Godg2316 in you.

15

 aThanksg5485 be to Godg2316 for His indescribableg411  bgiftg1431!
