2 Corinthians 9 — Context

3

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

4

For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

5

So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

6

But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

7

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

8

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

9

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.
