11 Sarete così arricchiti in ogni cosa onde potere esercitare una larga liberalità, la quale produrrà per nostro mezzo rendimento di grazie a Dio.

2 Corinzi 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 Corinzi 9:11 In-Context

9 siccome è scritto: Egli ha sparso, egli ha dato ai poveri, la sua giustizia dimora in eterno.

10 Or Colui che fornisce al seminatore la semenza, e il pane da mangiare, fornirà e moltiplicherà la semenza vostra ed accrescerà i frutti della vostra giustizia.

11 Sarete così arricchiti in ogni cosa onde potere esercitare una larga liberalità, la quale produrrà per nostro mezzo rendimento di grazie a Dio.

12 Poiché la prestazione di questo servigio sacro non solo supplisce ai bisogni dei santi ma più ancora produce abbondanza di ringraziamenti a Dio;

13 in quanto che la prova pratica fornita da questa sovvenzione li porta a glorificare Iddio per l’ubbidienza con cui professate il Vangelo di Cristo, e per la liberalità con cui partecipate ai bisogni loro e di tutti.
