Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
你们的奉献是祝福
9 关于对耶路撒冷上帝子民帮助的问题，我根本没有必要继续给你们写什么了。 2 因为我知道你们乐意助人。为此我一直向马其顿人夸耀你们，告诉他们你们在亚该亚的教会从去年起就做好了奉献的准备，你们的热情还激励了他们大部分人，他们都行动起来了。 3 我派这些兄弟们到你们这里来，为的是在这件事情上证明我们对你们的夸耀不是空话，而是像我所说的那样，你们会做好准备。 4 否则，如果一些马其顿人和我来时，看到你们并没有准备好，我们就会很尴尬，因为我们对你们非常自信。（至于你们的惭愧，就更不用说了）。 5 所以我认为有必要派兄弟们在我们之前去拜访你们，把你们以前许诺的那些丰盛的礼物提前准备好，这样，你们的奉献就是心甘情愿的，而不是出于迫不得己。
6 记住这句话：少种的人少收，多种的人多收。 7 每个人的奉献都应该发自内心，而不是带着不情愿或勉强。因为上帝喜欢快乐的奉献者。 8 上帝给了你们的恩赐不仅满足你们的需要，还会绰绰有余，好让你们去为各种慈善事业出力。 9 正如《经》上所说：
“他慷慨地赐给了穷人，
他的善良永无止境。” (A)
10 上帝把种子赐给播种的人，还赐给人们吃的面包。他赐给你们属灵的种子，并让你们的种子生长，让你们的善举获得硕果。 11 上帝会使你们在各方面都非常富有，以便你们随时都能非常慷慨地给予。你们的慷慨通过我们将会使人们感谢上帝。 12 你们在这次神圣的服务中的表现不仅满足了上帝子民的需要，而且也给上帝带来了众多的感激。 13 因为你们这次的服务是你们的信仰的证据，人们会因为你们顺从自己宣称的基督福音，也为你们慷慨地与他们以及所有的人共享而赞美上帝。 14 他们在为你们祈祷时，渴望着见到你们。因为上帝给予了你们非凡的恩典。 15 感谢上帝那难以形容的恩赐。

2 Corinthians 9
New International Version
9 There is no need(A) for me to write to you about this service(B) to the Lord’s people.(C) 2 For I know your eagerness to help,(D) and I have been boasting(E) about it to the Macedonians, telling them that since last year(F) you in Achaia(G) were ready to give; and your enthusiasm has stirred most of them to action. 3 But I am sending the brothers(H) in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove hollow, but that you may be ready, as I said you would be.(I) 4 For if any Macedonians(J) come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers(K) to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift,(L) not as one grudgingly given.(M)
Generosity Encouraged
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.(N) 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,(O) not reluctantly or under compulsion,(P) for God loves a cheerful giver.(Q) 8 And God is able(R) to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need,(S) you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food(V) will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.(W) 11 You will be enriched(X) in every way so that you can be generous(Y) on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.(Z)
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs(AA) of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.(AB) 13 Because of the service(AC) by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God(AD) for the obedience that accompanies your confession(AE) of the gospel of Christ,(AF) and for your generosity(AG) in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God(AH) for his indescribable gift!(AI)

2 Corinthians 9
King James Version
9 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
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.
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:
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.
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.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
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.
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 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
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;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
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;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
