2 Korinther 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 9:11

Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness
These words may be connected with ( 2 Corinthians 9:8-10 ) being included in a parenthesis; and the sense is, that God was not only able to give them a sufficiency, and would give them a sufficiency of temporal things, as food and raiment to their satisfaction, and contentment for themselves, but a fulness, an exuberancy, an overplus also; not for luxury and intemperance, but that having such an affluence in all the good things of life, they might at all times, and upon every occasion, exercise a bountiful disposition in relieving the poor:

which causeth through us thanksgiving to God;
not their riches and fulness, but their liberal distribution of them to the poor saints, to which they were stirred up by the apostles; who were thankful to God who had so well succeeded their exhortations and advice, and which was the cause of thanksgivings in others: and since therefore such beneficence tended to the glory of God, as giving of thanks makes for his glory, this then ought to be attended to, and diligently performed; and so it furnishes out a new argument to this good work, which is enlarged upon in the following verses.

12 Denn die Bedienung dieses Dienstes ist nicht nur eine Erfüllung des Mangels der Heiligen, sondern ist auch überströmend durch viele Danksagungen gegen Gott;

13 indem sie durch die Bewährung dieses Dienstes Gott verherrlichen wegen der Unterwürfigkeit eures Bekenntnisses zum Evangelium des Christus und wegen der Freigebigkeit der Mitteilung gegen sie und gegen alle;
