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).
