Ipan se tlajcuilojli Pablo cominijlia on corintios ma quisentlalican on ofrenda para on tocnihuan chanejquej ne ipan on hueyican Jerusalén

Niman ica on ofrenda yejhuan nosentlalis para ica nenquimpalehuisquej on yejhuan iyaxcahuan Dios, xnonequi para nemechtlajcuilhuis, pampa ye nicmatzticaj ica melahuac nenquinequij nenquimpalehuisquej. On yejhuan chantij ne Macedonia, ican paquilistli niquimijlijtiu ica desde se xiutli catca nemejhuamej yejhuan nenchantij ne Acaya ye nenquipiaj nemoyojlo para nentlapalehuisquej. Niman pampa ocacquej quen onenquimpalehuijquej, saquin nochimej yejhuan chantij ne Macedonia onoyolejquej para no ijqui tlapalehuisquej. Pero niquintitlani in tocnihuan para ma ca yej xijqui onquisas on tlen cuajli yonicteijlij ica nemejhuamej. Ijcon, tej, nennemisquej ican nemoofrenda sa no ijqui quen oniquimijlij on tocnihuan chantij ne Macedonia. Tla sequimej yejhuamej nohuan yasquej niman mechnextijtasisquej xe nenquisentlaliaj on ofrenda, tla ijcon, tejhuamej tipinahuasquej, niman nemejhuamej más nempinahuasquej pampa oniquimijlij ica melahuac nennemisquej listos.

Ijcon ijcuac najsis, on ofrenda ye onyas niman nenquiteititisquej ica nenquitemacaj pampa nenquinequij niman xpampa temechchihualtiaj.

Ma ca xquelcahuacan yejhua in. Yejhuan achijtzin quitoca, no achijtzin quipixca, niman yejhuan miyec quitoca, no miyec quipixca. Cada se ma quitemaca iofrenda quen quixtia ipan iyojlo. Ma ca quitemacas ican tlahuejli, nion quinemilis san yacaj quichihualtia, pampa Dios quitlajsojtla on yejhuan quitemaca iofrenda ican pactli. Dios huelis mechmacas nochi tlajtlamach tlatiochihualistli para ijcon huelis nochipa nenquipiasquej on tlen mechpolohua, niman no nenquipiasquej quech huelis ica nentlapalehuisquej ipan nochi cuajli tequitl. Ipan in Yectlajcuilojli ijquin tlajcuilolnesticaj:

Niman on tlen ica nenquimpalehuisquej Dios quiscaltis, niman ijcon nenhuelisquej nenquichihuasquej miyec tlajtlamach tlen cuajli.

Yejhuamej no quiyectenehuasquej Dios ipampa on cuajli ofrenda yejhuan nenquitemacasquej para yejhuamej niman para nochimej ocsequimej.

There is no need(A) for me to write to you about this service(B) to the Lord’s people.(C) For I know your eagerness to help,(D) and I have been boasting(E) about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year(F) you in Achaia(G) were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. But I am sending the brothers(H) in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.(I) For if any Macedonians(J) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(K) to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift,(L) not as one grudgingly given.(M)

Generosity Encouraged

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.(N) Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,(O) not reluctantly or under compulsion,(P) for God loves a cheerful giver.(Q) And God is able(R) to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,(S) you will abound in every good work. As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts(T) to the poor;
    their righteousness endures forever.”[a](U)

10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(V) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(W) 11 You will be enriched(X) in every way so that you can be generous(Y) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(Z)

12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(AA) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(AB) 13 Because of the service(AC) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(AD) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(AE) of the gospel of Christ,(AF) and for your generosity(AG) in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God(AH) for his indescribable gift!(AI)
