哥林多后书 9
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
帮助圣徒的捐款
9 关于供给圣徒的事,我本来不必写信给你们; 2 因为我知道你们的好意,常对马其顿人夸奖你们,说亚该亚人预备好已经有一年了。你们的热心感动了许多人。 3 但我差遣那几位弟兄去,要使你们照我的话预备妥当,免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。 4 万一有马其顿人与我同去,见你们没有预备好,就使我们所确信的反成了羞愧;你们的羞愧更不用说了。 5 因此,我想必须鼓励那几位弟兄先到你们那里去,把从前所应许的捐款预备妥当,好显出你们所捐的是出于乐意,不是出于勉强。
6 还有一点:“少种的少收;多种的多收。” 7 各人要随心所愿,不要为难,不要勉强,因为 神爱乐捐的人。 8 神能将各样的恩惠多多加给你们,使你们凡事常常充足,能多做各样善事。 9 如经上所记:
“他施舍,周济贫穷;
他的义行存到永远。”
10 那赐种子给撒种的,赐粮食给人吃的,必多多加给你们种地的种子,又增添你们仁义的果子。 11 你们必凡事富足,能多多施舍,使人藉着我们而生感谢 神的心。 12 因为办这供给的事,不但补圣徒的缺乏,而且使许多人对 神充满更多的感谢。 13 他们从这供给的事上得了凭据,知道你们宣认基督,顺服他的福音,慷慨捐助给他们和众人,把荣耀归给 神。 14 他们也因 神极大的恩赐显在你们身上而切切想念你们,为你们祈祷。 15 感谢 神,因他有说不尽的恩赐!
2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
9 There is no need(A) for me to write to you about this service(B) to the Lord’s people.(C) 2 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. 3 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) 4 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. 5 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
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.(N) 7 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) 8 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. 9 As it is written:
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)

2 Corinthians 9
King James Version
9 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
3 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
