2 Corintios 9
La Biblia de las Américas

Llamamiento a la liberalidad

9 Porque me es por demás escribiros acerca de este[a] servicio a los santos(A); 2 pues conozco vuestra buena disposición, de la que me glorío(B) por vosotros ante los macedonios, es decir, que Acaya(C) ha estado preparada desde el año pasado(D); y vuestro celo ha estimulado a la mayoría de ellos. 3 Pero he enviado a los hermanos para que nuestra jactancia acerca de vosotros(E) no sea hecha vana en este caso, a fin de que, como decía, estéis preparados(F); 4 no sea que algunos macedonios(G) vayan conmigo y os encuentren desprevenidos, y nosotros (por no decir vosotros) seamos avergonzados por esta confianza. 5 Así que creí necesario exhortar a los hermanos(H) a que se adelantaran en ir a vosotros, y prepararan de antemano vuestra generosa ofrenda[b], ya prometida, para que la misma estuviera lista como ofrenda generosa[c](I), y no como por codicia(J).

Recompensa de la liberalidad

6 Pero esto digo: Él que siembra escasamente, escasamente también segará; y el que siembra abundantemente[d], abundantemente[e] también segará(K). 7 Que cada uno dé[f] como propuso en su corazón, no de mala gana ni por obligación(L), porque Dios ama al dador alegre(M). 8 Y Dios puede hacer que toda gracia abunde para vosotros, a fin de que teniendo siempre todo lo suficiente en todas las cosas, abundéis(N) para toda buena obra; 9 como está escrito:

Él esparció, dio a los pobres;
su justicia permanece para siempre(O).

10 Y el que suministra semilla al sembrador y pan para su alimento(P), suplirá y multiplicará vuestra sementera y aumentará la siega de vuestra justicia(Q); 11 seréis enriquecidos en todo(R) para toda liberalidad, la cual por medio de nosotros produce acción de gracias a Dios(S). 12 Porque la ministración de este servicio no solo suple con plenitud lo que falta a los santos(T), sino que también sobreabunda a través de muchas acciones de gracias a Dios(U). 13 Por la prueba dada por[g] esta ministración[h], glorificarán a Dios(V) por vuestra obediencia a vuestra confesión(W) del evangelio de Cristo(X), y por la liberalidad de vuestra contribución para[i] ellos y para todos(Y); 14 mientras que también ellos, mediante la oración a vuestro favor, demuestran su anhelo[j] por vosotros debido a la sobreabundante gracia de Dios en vosotros. 15 ¡Gracias a Dios(Z) por su don inefable(AA)!

2 Corinthians 9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

For I Have Boasted of Your Eagerness To Others, So I Want You Ready When I Come

9 For indeed, it is superfluous for me to write to you concerning the ministry[a] to the saints. 2 For I know your eagerness, which I am boasting about you to the Macedonians— that “Achaia has been prepared [to give] since last year”. And your zeal stirred-up the majority. 3 But I sent the brothers in order that our boast about you might not be made-empty in this respect: in order that, just as I was saying, you may be prepared, 4 that we should not somehow be put-to-shame (that I not say you) in this confidence[b] if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared. 5 Therefore I regarded it necessary to urge the brothers that they go-ahead to you and prepare-beforehand your previously-promised blessing[c], that this may be ready thus as a blessing and not as greediness[d].

Sow For Blessings, As You Freely Choose In Your Hearts: God Loves a Cheerful Giver

6 Now this[e] I say: the one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly. And the one sowing for[f] blessings will also reap for blessings. 7 Each should give just as he has chosen-beforehand[g] in his heart— not out of grief [h] or out of compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you in order that in everything, always having all sufficiency, you may be abounding for every good work. 9 Just as it has been written [in Ps 112:9], “He scattered, he gave to the needy ones, his righteousness remains forever”.

God Will Multiply Your Seed And Fruit, And Your Gift Will Abound To His Glory

10 And the One supplying seed to the one sowing[i], and bread for eating, will supply and multiply your seed, and will grow the fruits of [j] your righteousness. 11 In everything you will be enriched for all generosity, which through[k] us is going to produce thanksgiving to God, 12 because the ministry of [l] this service[m] is not only going to be filling-up the needs of the saints, but also abounding through many thanksgivings to God! 13 Through the approvedness of this ministry, they will be glorifying God for the obedience of [n] your confession to[o] the good-news of Christ, and the generosity[p] of the contribution for them and for all, 14 while they also are yearning-for you in prayer for you because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift[q].

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.
