2 Corinthians 9:2-4

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

² For I know your eagerness, which I am boasting about you to the Macedonians— that “Achaia has been prepared [to give] since last year”. And your zeal stirred-up the majority. ³ But I sent the brothers in order that our boast about you might not be made-empty in this respect: in order that, just as I was saying, you may be prepared, ⁴ that we should not somehow be put-to-shame (that I not say you) in this confidence^[a] if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared.
