Chapter 9

1 For1063 as touching4012 3303 the3588 ministering1248 to1519 the3588 saints,40 it is2076 superfluous4053 for me3427 to write1125 to you: 5213

2 For1063 I know1492 the3588 forwardness of your mind,4288 5216 for which3739 I boast2744 of5228 you5216 to them of Macedonia,3110 that3754 Achaia882 was ready3903 a year ago;575 4070 and2532 1537 your5216 zeal2205 hath provoked2042 very many.4119

3 Yet1161 have I sent3992 the3588 brethren,80 lest3363 our2257 boasting2745 of5228 you5216 should be in vain2758 in1722 this5129 behalf;3313 that,2443 as2531 I said,3004 ye may be5600 ready: 3903

4 Lest haply3381 if1437 they of Macedonia3110 come2064 with4862 me,1698 and2532 find2147 you5209 unprepared,532 we2249 (that2443 we say3004 not,3361 ye) should be5210 ashamed2617 in1722 this same5026 confident5287 boasting.2746

5 Therefore3767 I thought2233 it necessary316 to exhort3870 the3588 brethren,80 that2443 they would go before4281 unto1519 you,5209 and2532 make up beforehand4294 your5216 bounty,2129 whereof ye had notice before,4293 that the same5026 might be1511 ready,2092 3779 as5613 a matter of bounty,2129 and2532 not3361 as5618 of covetousness.4124

6 But1161 this5124 I say, He which soweth4687 sparingly5340 shall reap2325 also2532 sparingly;5340 and2532 he which soweth4687 bountifully1909 2129 shall reap2325 also2532 bountifully.1909 2129

7 Every man1538 according as2531 he purposeth4255 in his heart,2588 so let him give; not3361 grudgingly,1537 3077 or2228 of1537 necessity:318 for1063 God2316 loveth25 a cheerful2431 giver.1395

8 And1161 God2316 is able1415 to make all grace abound4052 3956 5485 toward1519 you;5209 that2443 ye, always3842 having2192 all3956 sufficiency841 in1722 all3956 things, may abound4052 to1519 every3956 good18 work: 2041

9 (As2531 it is written,1125 He hath dispersed abroad;4650 he hath given1325 to the3588 poor:3993 his846 righteousness1343 remaineth3306 forever.1519 165

10 Now1161 he that ministereth2023 seed4690 to the3588 sower4687 both2532 minister5524 bread740 for1519 your food,1035 and2532 multiply4129 your5216 seed sown,4703 and2532 increase837 the3588 fruits1081 of your5216 righteousness;)1343

11 Being enriched4148 in1722 every thing3956 to1519 all3956 bountifulness,572 which3748 causeth2716 through1223 us2257 thanksgiving2169 to God.2316

12 For3754 the3588 administration1248 of this5026 service3009 not3756 only3440 supplieth2076 4322 the3588 want5303 of the3588 saints,40 but235 is abundant4052 also2532 by1223 many4183 thanksgivings2169 unto God;2316

13 While by1223 the3588 experiment1382 of this5026 ministration1248 they glorify1392 God2316 for your5216 professed3671 subjection5292 unto1519 the3588 gospel2098 of Christ,5547 and2532 for your liberal572 distribution2842 unto1519 them,846 and2532 unto1519 all3956 men;

14 And2532 by their846 prayer1162 for5228 you,5216 which long after1971 you5209 for1223 the3588 exceeding5235 grace5485 of God2316 in1909 you.5213

15 1161 Thanks5485 be unto God2316 for1909 his846 unspeakable411 gift.1431

哥林多後書

第9章

1 論到供給聖徒的事,我不必寫信給你們;

2 因為我知道你們樂意的心,常對馬其頓人誇獎你們,說亞該亞人預備好了,已經有一年了;並且你們的熱心激動了許多人。

3 但我打發那幾位弟兄去,要叫你們照我的話預備妥當;免得我們在這事上誇獎你們的話落了空。

4 恐怕[lest]有馬其頓人與我同去,見你們沒有預備,就叫我們所確信的,反成了羞愧;你們羞愧,更不用說了。

5 因此,我想不得不[exhort]那幾位弟兄先到你們那裏去,把從前所說的[notice]預備妥當,就顯出你們所捐的是出於樂意,不是出於貪婪[covetousness]

6 而我說[But this I say]:「少種的少收,多種的多收。」這話是真的。

7 各人要隨本心所酌定的捐輸[so let him give],不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。

8 神能將各樣的恩典[grace]多多的加給你們,使你們凡事常常充足,能多行各樣善行[work]

9 (如經上所記:他施捨錢財,賙濟貧窮;他的[righteousness]存到永遠。

10 那賜種給撒種的也賜糧給你們吃[both minister bread for your food][and]多多加給你們種地的種子,又增添你們公義[righteousness]的果子;)

11 叫你們凡事富足,可以多多施捨,就藉著我們使感謝歸於神。

12 因為辦這供給的事,不但補聖徒的缺乏,而且叫許多人越發感謝神。

13 他們從這供給的事上得了憑據,知道你們宣認[professed]基督順服他的福音,多多的捐錢給他們和眾人,便將榮耀歸與神。

14 他們也因神極大的恩賜顯在你們心裏,就切切的想念你們,為你們祈禱。

15 感謝神,因他有說不出來[unspeakable]的恩賜。
