DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - II Corinthians - 9

9:1  For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.

9:1  Nam de ministerio, quod fit in sanctos ex abundanti est mihi scribere vobis.

9:1  For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

9:2  For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia also is ready from the year past. And your emulation hath provoked very many.

9:2  Scio enim promptum animum vestrum : pro quo de vobis glorior apud Macedones. Quoniam et Achaia parata est ab anno præterito, et vestra æmulatio provocavit plurimos.

9:2  For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

9:3  Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:

9:3  Misi autem fratres : ut ne quod gloriamur de vobis, evacuetur in hac parte, ut (quemadmodum dixi) parati sitis :

9:3  Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

9:4  Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.

9:4  ne cum venerint Macedones mecum, et invenerint vos imparatos, erubescamus nos (ut non dicamus vos) in hac substantia.

9:4  Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

9:5  Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.

9:5  Necessarium ergo existimavi rogare fratres, ut præveniant ad vos, et præparent repromissam benedictionem hanc paratam esse sic, quasi benedictionem, non tamquam avaritiam.

9:5  Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

9:6  Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings.

9:6  Hoc autem dico : qui parce seminat, parce et metet : et qui seminat in benedictionibus, de benedictionibus et metet.

9:6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

9:7  Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

9:7  Unusquisque, prout destinavit in corde suo, non ex tristitia, aut ex necessitate : hilarem enim datorem diligit Deus.

9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

9:8  And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work,

9:8  Potens est autem Deus omnem gratiam abundare facere in vobis : ut in omnibus semper omnem sufficientiam habentes, abundetis in omne opus bonum,

9:8  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

9:9  As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever.

9:9  sicut scriptum est : Dispersit, dedit pauperibus : justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

9:9  (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

9:10  And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:

9:10  Qui autem administrat semen seminanti : et panem ad manducandum præstabit, et multiplicabit semen vestrum, et augebit incrementa frugum justitiæ vestræ :

9:10  Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

9:11  That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

9:11  ut in omnibus locupletati abundetis in omnem simplicitatem, quæ operatur per nos gratiarum actionem Deo.

9:11  Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

9:12  Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord.

9:12  Quoniam ministerium hujus officii non solum supplet ea quæ desunt sanctis, sed etiam abundat per multas gratiarum actiones in Domino,

9:12  For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

9:13  By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them and unto all.

9:13  per probationem ministerii hujus, glorificantes Deum in obedientia confessionis vestræ, in Evangelium Christi, et simplicitate communicationis in illos, et in omnes,

9:13  Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

9:14  And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you.

9:14  et in ipsorum obsecratione pro vobis, desiderantium vos propter eminentem gratiam Dei in vobis.

9:14  And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

9:15  Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

9:15  Gratias Deo super inenarrabili dono ejus.

9:15  Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
