1For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.
1論到供給聖徒的事，我不必寫信給你們；
2For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many.
2因為我知道你們樂意的心，常對 馬其頓 人誇獎你們，說 亞該亞 人預備好了，已經有一年了；並且你們的熱心激動了許多人。
3Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:
3但我打發那幾位弟兄去，要叫你們照我的話預備妥當，免得我們在這事上誇獎你們的話落了空。
4Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.
4萬一有 馬其頓 人與我同去，見你們沒有預備，就叫我們所確信的，反成了羞愧；你們羞愧，更不用說了。
5Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.
5因此，我想不得不求那幾位弟兄先到你們那裏去，把從前所應許的捐資預備妥當，就顯出你們所捐的是出於樂意，不是出於勉強。
6Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap blessings.
6「少種的少收，多種的多收」，這話是真的。
7Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
7各人要隨本心所酌定的，不要作難，不要勉強，因為捐得樂意的人是上帝所喜愛的。
8And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,
8上帝能將各樣的恩惠多多地加給你們，使你們凡事常常充足，能多行各樣善事。
9As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever.
9如 經上 所記： 他施捨 錢財 ，賙濟貧窮； 他的仁義存到永遠。
10And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:
10那賜種給撒種的，賜糧給人吃的，必多多加給你們種地的種子，又增添你們仁義的果子；
11That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
11叫你們凡事富足，可以多多施捨，就藉着我們使感謝歸於上帝。
12Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord,
12因為辦這供給的事，不但補聖徒的缺乏，而且叫許多人越發感謝上帝。
13By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them, and unto all.
13他們從這供給的事上得了憑據，知道你們承認基督順服他的福音，多多地捐錢給他們和眾人，便將榮耀歸與上帝。
14And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you.
14他們也因上帝極大的恩賜顯在你們心裏，就切切地想念你們，為你們祈禱。
15Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
15感謝上帝，因他有說不盡的恩賜！
