2 Corinthians 9:1 In-Context

1 For regarding the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 For I know your ready desire, for which I gloried of you to those of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has provoked many.
3 Yet I have sent the brethren lest our glorying of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready,
4 lest haply if those of Macedonia come with me and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed of this our confidence.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would first go unto you and prepare beforehand your blessing, of which ye had given notice before that the same might be ready as a blessing, and not as of covetousness.
