Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
For ,
indeed,
concerning
the ministration
that
`is'
for
the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you ,
For as
touching
the ministering
to
the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you :
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,
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.
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 ,
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 :
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.
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.
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.
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.
And
this :
He
who
is
sowing
sparingly
, sparingly also
shall reap; and he who
is
sowing
in
blessings,
in
blessings
also
shall reap ;
But
this I
say
, He
which
soweth
sparingly shall reap also
sparingly
; and he which
soweth
bountifully
shall reap also
bountifully.
each
one,
according as he doth
purpose
in heart, not out
of
sorrow
or out
of necessity ,
for a cheerful giver doth
God
love,
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 all grace to
cause
to
abound to
you ,
that in
every
thing
always all sufficiency having
, ye
may abound to every good work ,
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 :
( according
as it hath
been
written, `
He dispersed abroad ,
he gave
to the poor ,
his righteousness doth
remain
to
the
age,')
(As it is
written, He hath
dispersed abroad ;
he hath
given
to the poor :
his righteousness remaineth
for
ever.
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 ,
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 ;)
in every thing being
enriched
to all liberality
, which doth
work
through us thanksgiving to God ,
Being
enriched
in every thing to all bountifulness
, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to 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 ,
For
the administration
of this service not only supplieth
the want
of the saints, but is abundant
also by
many thanksgivings unto
God ;
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 ,
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;
and by their supplication
in
your
behalf
, longing
after you because
of
the exceeding grace of God upon
you ;
And by their prayer
for
you
, which
long
after you for
the exceeding grace of God in
you .
thanks also
to
God for His unspeakable gift !
Thanks be
unto
God for his unspeakable gift .
