God Loves a Cheerful Giver

9 For ^(A)it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ^(B)ministry to the ^[a]saints; ² for I know your readiness, of which I ^(C)boast about you to the ^(D)Macedonians, that ^(E)Achaia has been prepared since ^(F)last year, and your zeal stirred up most of them.

²⁵ But now ^(A)I am going to Jerusalem to ^(B)serve the ^[a]saints. ²⁶ For ^(C)Macedonia and ^(D)Achaia were pleased to ^[b]share with the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷ Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For ^(E)if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.
