¹ For of the ministry that is made to holy men, it is to me of plenty to write to you.

² For I know your [ready] will, for the which I have glory of you with Macedonians, for also Achaia is ready from a year passed, and your love hath stirred full many.

³ And we have sent brethren, that this thing that we glory of you, be not voided in this part, that as I said, ye be ready.

⁴ Lest when Macedonians come with me, and find you unready, we be shamed, that we say you not or that we saw you not, in this substance.

⁵ Therefore I guessed necessary to pray brethren, that they come before to you, and make ready this promised blessing to be ready, so as blessing, and not as avarice.

⁶ For I say this thing, he that soweth scarcely, shall also reap scarcely; and he that soweth in blessings, shall reap also of blessings.

⁷ Each man as he casted in his heart, not of heaviness, or of need; for God loveth a glad giver.

⁸ And God is mighty to make all grace abound in you, that ye in all things evermore have all sufficience, and abound into all good work;

⁹ as it is written, He dealed abroad, he gave to poor men, his rightwise-ness dwelleth without end.

¹⁰ And he that ministereth seed to the sower, shall give also bread to eat, and he shall multiply your seed, and make much the increasings of fruits of your rightwiseness;

¹¹ that in all things ye made rich wax plenteous [or abound] into all simpleness, which worketh by us doing of thankings to God.

¹² For the ministry of this office not only filleth those things that fail to holy men, but also multiplieth many thankings to God,

¹³ by the proving of this ministry, which glorify God in the obedience of your acknowledging in the gospel of Christ, and in simpleness of communication into them and into all [others],

¹⁴ and in the beseeching of them for you, that desire you for the excellent grace of God in you.

¹⁵ I do thankings to God of the gift of him, that may not be told.
