2 Corinthians 9:3-5
Revised Geneva Translation
3 Now, I have sent the brothers, lest our boasting over you should be in vain in this matter, that you (as I have said) be ready.
4 Or else perhaps the Macedonians might come with me and find you unprepared, so that we (and not you) should be ashamed by my constant boasting.
5 Therefore, I thought it necessary to exhort the brothers to come to you beforehand, and to finish your previously-promised blessing, that it might be ready, and be received as a blessing, not with greed.

2 Corinthians 9:3-5
New International Version
3 But I am sending the brothers(A) 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.(B) 4 For if any Macedonians(C) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(D) 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,(E) not as one grudgingly given.(F)
