1For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:2For 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.3Yet 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:4Lest 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.5Therefore 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.6But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.8And 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.10Now 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;)11Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.12For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;13Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection into the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.15Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

1فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْخِدْمَةِ لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ هُوَ فُضُولٌ مِنِّي أَنْ أَكْتُبَ إِلَيْكُمْ،2لأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ نَشَاطَكُمُ الَّذِي أَفْتَخِرُ بِهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَدَى المَكِدُونِيِّينَ، أَنَّ أَخَائِيَةَ مُسْتَعِدَّةٌ مُنْذُ الْعَامِ المَاضِي، وَغَيْرَتُكُمْ قَدْ حَرَّضَتِ الأَكْثَرِينَ.3وَلَكِنْ أَرْسَلْتُ الإِخْوَةَ لِئَلاَّ يَتَعَطَّلَ افْتِخَارُنَا مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْقَبِيلِ، كَيْ تَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ، كَمَا قُلْتُ،4حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ مَعِي مَكِدُونِيُّونَ وَوَجَدُوكُمْ غَيْرَ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ، لاَ نُخْجَلُ نَحْنُ، حَتَّى لاَ أَقُولُ أَنْتُمْ فِي جَسَارَةِ الاِفْتِخَارِ هَذِهِ.5فَرَأَيْتُ لاَزِماً أَنْ أَطْلُبَ إِلَى الإِخْوَةِ أَنْ يَسْبِقُوا إِلَيْكُمْ وَيُهَيِّئُوا قَبْلاً بَرَكَتَكُمُ الَّتِي سَبَقَ التَّخْبِيرُ بِهَا، لِتَكُونَ هِيَ مُعَدَّةً هَكَذَا، كَأَنَّهَا بَرَكَةٌ لاَ كَأَنَّهَا بُخْلٌ.

بركة الله للمعطي المسرور

6هَذَا وَإِنَّ مَنْ يَزْرَعُ بِالشُّحِّ فَبِالشُّحِّ أَيْضاً يَحْصُدُ، وَمَنْ يَزْرَعُ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ فَبِالْبَرَكَاتِ أَيْضاً يَحْصُدُ.7كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَمَا يَنْوِي بِقَلْبِهِ، لَيْسَ عَنْ حُزْنٍ أَوِ اضْطِرَارٍ، لأَنَّ: المُعْطِيَ المَسْرُورَ يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ.8وَاللهُ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يَزِيدَكُمْ كُلَّ نِعْمَةٍ لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا وَلَكُمْ كُلُّ اكْتِفَاءٍ كُلَّ حِينٍ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، تَزْدَادُونَ فِي كُلِّ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ،9كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: "فَرَّقَ، أَعْطَى المَسَاكِينَ، بِرُّهُ يَبْقَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ".10وَالَّذِي يُقَدِّمُ بِذَاراً لِلزَّارِعِ وَخُبْزاً لِلأَكْلِ، سَيُقَدِّمُ وَيُكَثِّرُ بِذَارَكُمْ وَيُنْمِي غَلاَّتِ بِرِّكُمْ،11مُسْتَغْنِينَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لِكُلِّ سَخَاءٍ، يُنْشِئُ بِنَا شُكْراً لِلهِ.12لأَنَّ افْتِعَالَ هَذِهِ الْخِدْمَةِ لَيْسَ يَسُدُّ إِعْوَازَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فَقَطْ بَلْ يَزِيدُ بِشُكْرٍ كَثِيرٍ لِلهِ13إِذْ هُمْ بِاخْتِبَارِ هَذِهِ الْخِدْمَةِ يُمَجِّدُونَ اللهَ عَلَى طَاعَةِ اعْتِرَافِكُمْ لإِنْجِيلِ المَسِيحِ وَسَخَاءِ التَّوْزِيعِ لَهُمْ وَلِلْجَمِيعِ،14وَبِدُعَائِهِمْ لأَجْلِكُمْ مُشْتَاقِينَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْفَائِقَةِ لَدَيْكُمْ.15فَشُكْراً لِلهِ عَلَى عَطِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي لاَ يُعَبَّرُ عَنْهَا.
