2 Corinthiens 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.

2 Corinthiens 9:11 In-Context

9 selon qu'il est écrit: Il a fait des largesses, il a donné aux indigents; Sa justice subsiste à jamais.

10 Celui qui Fournit de la semence au semeur, Et du pain pour sa nourriture, vous fournira et vous multipliera la semence, et il augmentera les fruits de votre justice.

11 Vous serez de la sorte enrichis à tous égards pour toute espèce de libéralités qui, par notre moyen, feront offrir à Dieu des actions de grâces.

12 Car le secours de cette assistance non seulement pourvoit aux besoins des saints, mais il est encore une source abondante de nombreuses actions de grâces envers Dieu.

13 En considération de ce secours dont ils font l'expérience, ils glorifient Dieu de votre obéissance dans la profession de l'Evangile de Christ, et de la libéralité de vos dons envers eux et envers tous;
