Berean Standard Bible
1περι μεν γαρ τησ διακονιασ τησ εισ τουσ αγιουσ περισσον μοι εστιν το γραφειν υμιν
1Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
2οιδα γαρ την προθυμιαν υμων ην υπερ υμων καυχωμαι μακεδοσιν οτι αχαια παρεσκευασται απο περυσι και ο εξ υμων ζηλοσ ηρεθισεν τουσ πλειονασ
2For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.
3επεμψα δε τουσ αδελφουσ ινα μη το καυχημα ημων το υπερ υμων κενωθη εν τω μερει τουτω ινα καθωσ ελεγον παρεσκευασμενοι ητε
3But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
4μηπωσ εαν ελθωσιν συν εμοι μακεδονεσ και ευρωσιν υμασ απαρασκευαστουσ καταισχυνθωμεν ημεισ ινα μη λεγωμεν υμεισ εν τη υποστασει ταυτη τησ καυχησεωσ
4Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.
5αναγκαιον ουν ηγησαμην παρακαλεσαι τουσ αδελφουσ ινα προελθωσιν εισ υμασ και προκαταρτισωσιν την προκατηγγελμενην ευλογιαν υμων ταυτην ετοιμην ειναι ουτωσ ωσ ευλογιαν και μη ωσ πλεονεξιαν
5So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
6τουτο δε ο σπειρων φειδομενωσ φειδομενωσ και θερισει και ο σπειρων επ ευλογιαισ επ ευλογιαισ και θερισει
6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7εκαστοσ καθωσ προαιρειται τη καρδια μη εκ λυπησ η εξ αναγκησ ιλαρον γαρ δοτην αγαπα ο θεοσ
7Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.
8δυνατοσ δε ο θεοσ πασαν χαριν περισσευσαι εισ υμασ ινα εν παντι παντοτε πασαν αυταρκειαν εχοντεσ περισσευητε εισ παν εργον αγαθον
8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
9καθωσ γεγραπται εσκορπισεν εδωκεν τοισ πενησιν η δικαιοσυνη αυτου μενει εισ τον αιωνα
9As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
10ο δε επιχορηγων σπερμα τω σπειροντι και αρτον εισ βρωσιν χορηγησαι και πληθυναι τον σπορον υμων και αυξησαι τα γενηματα τησ δικαιοσυνησ υμων
10Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
11εν παντι πλουτιζομενοι εισ πασαν απλοτητα ητισ κατεργαζεται δι ημων ευχαριστιαν τω θεω
11You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.
12οτι η διακονια τησ λειτουργιασ ταυτησ ου μονον εστιν προσαναπληρουσα τα υστερηματα των αγιων αλλα και περισσευουσα δια πολλων ευχαριστιων τω θεω
12For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
13δια τησ δοκιμησ τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ δοξαζοντεσ τον θεον επι τη υποταγη τησ ομολογιασ υμων εισ το ευαγγελιον του χριστου και απλοτητι τησ κοινωνιασ εισ αυτουσ και εισ παντασ
13Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.
14και αυτων δεησει υπερ υμων επιποθουντων υμασ δια την υπερβαλλουσαν χαριν του θεου εφ υμιν
14And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
15χαρισ δε τω θεω επι τη ανεκδιηγητω αυτου δωρεα
15Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
