2 Corinthians 9:1
Print
Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
Now it is unnecessary for me to write to you about the offering [that is to be made] for the saints [in Jerusalem];
Now about the offering that is [to be made] for the saints (God’s people in Jerusalem), it is quite superfluous that I should write you;
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
Now concerning the ministry to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you.
It’s unnecessary for me to write to you about this service for God’s people.
There is really no need for me to write you about this offering for God’s people —
I don't need to write you about the money you plan to give for God's people.
For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.
For indeed, it is superfluous for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints.
For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.
I really don’t need to write to you about this help for God’s people.
I do not need to write to you about the money that you want to send to God's people in Jerusalem.
It is really not necessary for me to write to you about the service to the saints,
Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,
Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,
I really do not need to write you about this ·help [service; ministry] for ·God’s people [T the saints].
1 Why, albeit he think well of their ready wills, 3 yet earnestly exhorteth them, 4 he yieldeth a reason: 6 He compareth alms to seed sowing, 10 which God doth repay with great gain. For as touching the ministering to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.
I don’t need to write anything further to you about helping the Christians ⌞in Jerusalem⌟.
There is really no need for me to write you about the help being sent to God's people in Judea.
Now concerning the ministry to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you.
I really do not need to write to you about this help for God’s people.
I do not need to write to you any further about the ministry to the saints.
Of course I know it is really quite superfluous for me to be writing to you about this matter of giving to fellow Christians, for I know how willing you are. Indeed I have told the Macedonians with some pride that “Achaia was ready to undertake this service twelve months ago”. Your enthusiasm has consequently been a stimulus to many of them. I am, however, sending the brothers just to make sure that our pride in you is not unjustified. For, between ourselves, it would never do if some of the Macedonians were to accompany me on my visit to you and find you unprepared for this act of generosity! We (not to speak of you) should be horribly ashamed, just because we had been so proud and confident of you. This is my reason, then, for urging the brothers to visit you before I come myself, so that they can get your promised gift ready in good time. But, having let you into my confidence, I should like it to be a spontaneous gift, and not money squeezed out of you by what I have said. All I will say is that poor sowing means a poor harvest, and generous sowing means a generous harvest.
¶ For regarding the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;
For it is unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints,
I realize that I really don’t even need to mention this to you, about helping God’s people.
If I wrote any more on this relief offering for the poor Christians, I’d be repeating myself. I know you’re on board and ready to go. I’ve been bragging about you all through Macedonia province, telling them, “Achaia province has been ready to go on this since last year.” Your enthusiasm by now has spread to most of them.
It is redundant for me to write to you concerning the ministry to the saints.
Now concerning the service · to the saints, there is no necessity for me to write to you,
I don’t need to write anything further to you about helping the Christians in Jerusalem.
Now about the service to the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you,
For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;
For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;
In regard to the ministry toward the saints, there really is no necessity for me to write to you.
I really do not need to write you about this help for God’s people.

I don’t need to write to you about giving to the Lord’s people.
There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord’s people.
There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord’s people.
Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;
I do not need to write to you about helping those who belong to Christ.
I really don’t need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.
Of the ministering to the saints, it is more than I need do to write to you.
Now it is not necessary for me to write to you about the ministry to the saints,
Now it is not necessary for me to write to you about the ministry to the saints,
Now it is not necessary for me to write you about the ministry to the saints,
Now it is not necessary for me to write you about the ministry to the saints,
When it comes to the service you are doing for God’s people, you see, I don’t need to write to you.
Concerning your Messianic avodas kodesh sherut for the Kadoshim [2C 8:4,20] it is superfluous for me to send you this iggeret.
Now, as far as the ministry to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you.
Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,
Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the offering for the saints,
Now about this service to the kedoshim, it is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you—
There’s nothing further I could add about your efforts for God’s people in Judea.
It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Of course, I really do not need to write to you about the money to be given to God's people.
For of the ministry that is made to holy men, it is to me of plenty to write to you.
For, indeed, concerning the ministration that [is] for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you,
