Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
For as
touching
the ministering
to
the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you :
For ,
indeed,
concerning
the ministration
that
`is'
for
the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you ,
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.
for I have
known
your readiness
of
mind, which in
your
behalf
I boast of to Macedonians
, that Achaia hath
been
prepared
a year ago ,
and the
zeal of
you
did
stir
up
the
more
part,
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 :
and
I sent the brethren, that
our boasting on
your
behalf
may
not
be made
vain in this respect
; that, according
as I said, ye may be ready ,
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.
lest if Macedonians
may
come with me, and find you unprepared, we --
we
may
be
put
to
shame
(that we say not --
ye) in this same confidence
of
boasting.
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.
Necessary,
therefore ,
I thought `
it '
to exhort the brethren, that they may
go before to
you, and may
make up before your
formerly
announced
blessing
, that this
be ready, as a blessing
, and not as covetousness.
But
this I
say,
He which
soweth
sparingly shall reap also
sparingly
; and he which
soweth
bountifully
shall reap also
bountifully.
And
this :
He who
is
sowing
sparingly ,
sparingly
also
shall reap; and he who
is
sowing
in
blessings,
in
blessings
also
shall reap ;
Every
man
according as he purposeth
in his
heart, so
let
him
give;
not grudgingly,
or of necessity :
for God
loveth
a cheerful giver .
each
one,
according as he doth
purpose
in heart, not out
of
sorrow
or out
of necessity ,
for a cheerful giver doth
God
love,
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 :
and God `
is '
able all grace to
cause
to
abound to
you, that
in
every
thing
always all sufficiency having
, ye
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.
( according
as it hath
been
written, `
He dispersed abroad ,
he gave
to the poor ,
his righteousness doth
remain
to
the
age,')
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 ;)
and
may
He who
is
supplying
seed to the sower ,
and
bread for food, supply
and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness ,
Being
enriched
in every thing to all bountifulness
, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God .
in every thing being
enriched
to all liberality
, which doth
work
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 ;
because
the ministration
of this service not only is
supplying
the wants
of the saints, but is also abounding
through
many thanksgivings to
God ,
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;
through
the proof
of this ministration glorifying
God for the
subjection of
your
confession
to
the good
news
of the
Christ, and `
for '
the
liberality
of
the
fellowship
to
them and to
all ,
And by their prayer
for
you
, which
long
after you for
the exceeding grace of God in
you .
and by their supplication
in
your
behalf
, longing
after you because
of
the exceeding grace of God upon
you ;
Thanks be
unto
God for his unspeakable gift .
thanks also
to
God for His unspeakable gift !
