| 9:1 | For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: |
| 9:2 | For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. |
| 9:3 | Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: |
| 9:4 | Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. |
| 9:5 | Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. |
| 9:6 | But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. |
| 9:7 | Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. |
| 9:7 | 各人要隨本心所酌定的．不要作難、不要勉強．因為捐得樂意的人、是 神所喜愛的。 |
| 9:7 | 各人要随本心所酌定的。不要作难，不要勉强，因为捐得乐意的人，是神所喜爱的。 |
| 2co:8:11 | Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. |
| 2co:8:12 | For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. |
| deu:15:10 | Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. |
| exo:25:2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. |
| exo:35:21 | And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. |
| exo:35:22 | And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD. |
| exo:35:29 | The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. |
| 1ch:29:17 | I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. |
| 2co:8:3 | For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; |
| 2co:8:19 | And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: |
| COBL | |
| 9:8 | And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: |
| 9:9 | (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. |
| 9:10 | Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) |
| 9:11 | Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. |
| 9:12 | For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; |
| 9:13 | Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; |
| 9:14 | And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. |
| 9:15 | Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. |
