2 Corinthians 9:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 9

Let the Offering Be Ready. ¹ In regard to the ministry toward the saints, there really is no necessity for me to write to you. ² For I am fully aware of your eagerness to help, which has been the subject of my boasting about you to the Macedonians, telling them that Achaia has been ready since last year. Your ardor has excited most of them.

³ Nevertheless, I am sending the brethren to ensure that our boasts about you may not seem to have been offered in vain. I want you to be as prepared as I said you would be.
