Chap. IX.
He procedeth exhorting them to the foresaid contribution, 3 to verifie his commending
of them. 6 and to do it liberally, that so they may merite the more, and
God be the more praised.
1 For concerning the ministerie that is
done09Q1183 tovvard the sainctes, it is superfluous
for me to vvrite vnto you.
2 For
I know your prompt minde: for the which
I glorie of you to the Macedonians: That
Achaia also is ready from the yere past, and
your emulation hath prouoked very many.
3 But I haue sent the brethren, that the thing vvhich vve
glorie of you, be not made voide in this behalfe, that (as I
-- --
haue said) you may be ready:
4 lest vvhen the Macedoni&abar;s
shal come vvith me, and finde you vnready, vve (that vve
say not, ye) may be ashamed note in this substance.
5 Therfore I
thought it necessarie to desire the brethren that they vvould
come to you, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be
ready so, as a blessing,09Q1184 not as auarice. note
6 And this I say, he
that09Q1185 sovveth sparingly, sparingly also shal reape: and he that
sovveth in blessings, of blessings also shal reape.
7 Euery
one as he hath determined in his hart, not of sadnes or of necessitie.
for God loueth a cheereful giuer. note
8 And God is able to
make al grace abound in you: that in al things alvvaies hauing
al sufficiencie, you may abound vnto al good vvorkes,
9 as it is vvritten: He distributed, he gaue to the poore: note his iustice remaineth
for euer. note
10 And he that ministreth seede to the sovver,
vvil giue bread also for to eate: & vvil multiplie your seede,
and vvil augm&ebar;t the increases of the fruites of your iustice: &cross4;
11 that being enriched in al things, you may abound vnto
al simplicitie, vvhich worketh by vs thankes-giuing to God.
12 Because the ministerie of this office09Q1186 doth not only supplie
those things that the Saincts vvant, but aboundeth also by
many thankes-giuings in our Lord,
13 by the proofe of this
ministerie, glorifying God in the obedience of your confession
vnto the Gospel of Christ, and in the simplicitie of communicating
vnto them, and vnto al,
14 and in their praying
for you, being desirous of you because of the excell&ebar;t grace
of God in you.
15 Thankes be to God for his vnspeakeable
gift.
