2 Coríntios 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.

10 Ora, aquele que dá a semente ao que semeia, e pão para comer, também dará e multiplicará a vossa sementeira, e aumentará os frutos da vossa justiça.

11 enquanto em tudo enriqueceis para toda a liberalidade, a qual por nós reverte em ações de graças a Deus.

12 Porque a ministração deste serviço não só supre as necessidades dos santos, mas também transborda em muitas ações de graças a Deus;

13 visto como, na prova desta ministração, eles glorificam a Deus pela submissão que confessais quanto ao evangelho de Cristo, e pela liberalidade da vossa contribuição para eles, e para todos;
