2 Corinthians 9:2-4

21st Century King James Version

² For I know the forwardness of your thinking, for which I boast of you to those of Macedonia that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath called forth very many.

³ Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you on this account should be in vain, that, as I said, ye may be ready;

⁴ lest it might happen, if those of Macedonia come with me and find you unprepared, that we (that we say not “ye”) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
