| [1]About the ministration but of the holy ones superfluous make it I if write I to you |
[1]BUT concerning the administration of the saints, I do more [than enough] if I write to you. |
| [2]Knew I for the readiness of your minds and because of this I boasted of you to the Maqedonians that Akaia ready was from last year and zeal your many has excited |
[2]For I know the goodness of your mind, of which I boasted of you to the Makedunoyee, that Akaia was ready since last year, and your zeal hath stirred up many. |
| [3]I sent but the brothers lest would be empty our boasting that we boasted in you about this matter that as ? you will be prepared |
[3]But I have sent the brethren to you, that our boasting which we boasted of you may not in this affair be vain; but, as I have said, you may be ready: |
| [4]Lest come with me Maqedonia and find you when not are prepared you and be ashamed we that not we would say that you would be ashamed by boasting that which we boasted |
[4]Lest, if the Makedunoyee should come with me, and find you not ready, we be shamed-that I may not say, you be shamed-of the boasting which we have boasted. |
| [5]Because of this it has been taken care of by me to ask of my brethren these to come beforehand to you and to prepare blessing that for from the first I was heard that it should be prepared in this way as a blessing not to be as if of greed |
[5]For this cause I have been careful to entreat of these brethren to go before to you, to make ready that blessing of which you have caused to be heard before; that it may be prepared, so as that it may be [considered as] a blessing, [and] not as [the reluctant contribution of] avarice. |
| [6]This but whoever sows frugally also frugally reaps and whoever sows with bounty with bounty shall reap |
[6]But this, [remember] He who soweth with scantiness, with scantiness also reapeth; and he who soweth with blessing, with blessing also shall reap. |
| [7]Every man as he is in his mind not as that from grief or as that from compulsion the giver Himself for joyful loves Alaha |
[7]Every man as he hath in his mind: not as of vexation or as of constraint; for a cheerful giver the Lord loveth. |
| [8]Comes that but by the hand of Alaha every favor to increase in you that always in all things that whatever is sufficient for you shall be to you and you will superabound in every work good |
[8]For it is in the power of Aloha to increase in you every good, that you may always have every thing sufficient, and that you may abound in every good work. |
| [9]As that is written "He has dispersed and He has given to the poor and His righteousness stands for eternity |
[9]As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor, and his righteousness standeth for ever. |
| [10]He but that He gives seed to the sower and bread for food He shall give and He shall multiply your seed and increase the fruit of your righteousness |
[10]But may He who giveth seed to the sower and bread for food, himself give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, |
| [11]That in all things you may be enriched with the entire right of an heir that which perfects by us thanksgiving to Alaha |
[11]That in every thing you may be enriched in all simplicity, which worketh out through us, thanksgiving to Aloha. |
| [12]Because the labor of service this not does only the want of the saints satisfy but also abounds in thanksgiving much to Alaha |
[12]For, on account of the performance of this service, we not only supply the deficiency of the saints, but also cause many thanks givings to abound unto Aloha. |
| [13]Because of the experience for of service this to Alaha they glorify that you submitted to the confession of the Gospel of The Messiah and you became partners in your right of heirship with them and with every person |
[13]For on account of the proof of this service we glorify Aloha, because you are subject to the confession of the gospel of Meshiha, and you have communicated in simplicity with them and with every man. |
| [14]And prayer they bring for you with love of many because of the abundance of the grace of Alaha that is upon you |
[14]And prayer they offer on your behalf in great love, on account of the greatness of the grace of Aloha which is upon you. |
| [15]Thank but to Alaha for His gift that un- is -utterable |
[15]But thanks to Aloha over his gift which is unspeakable. |
