Korinćanima poslanica druga svetog apostola Pavla
Capitolo 9
1
Jer za takvu porezu koja se kupi svetima nije mi potrebno pisati vam;
2
jer poznajem vašu dobru volju, za koju se o vama hvalim Makedoncima da se Ahaja pripremi od prošle godine, i vaša revnost razdraži mnoge.
3
A braću poslah da se hvala naša vama ne isprazni u ovoj stvari, nego da budete prigotovljeni, kao što sam govorio;
4
da se, ako dođu sa mnom Makedonci i među vas neprigotovljene, ne osramotimo mi (da ne kažem vi) u toj hvali.
5
Tako nađoh da je potrebno umoliti braću da napred idu k vama, i da priprave ovaj napred obrečeni vaš blagoslov, da bude gotov tako kao blagoslov, a ne kao lakomstvo.
6
Ovo pak velim: koji s tvrđom seje, s tvrđom će i požnjeti; a koji blagoslov seje, blagoslov će i požnjeti.
7
Svaki po volji svog srca, a ne sa žalošću ili od nevolje; jer Bog ljubi onog koji dragovoljno daje.
8
A Bog je kadar učiniti da je među vama izobilna svaka blagodat, da u svemu svagda svako dovoljstvo imajući izobilujete za svako dobro delo;
9
kao što je pisano: Prosu, dade siromasima; pravda njegova ostaje vavek.
10
A koji daje seme sejaču, daće i hleb za jelo: i umnožiće seme vaše, i daće da uzrastu žita pravde vaše;
11
da se u svemu obogatite za svaku prostotu koja kroz nas čini hvalu Bogu.
12
Jer služba ove poreze ne ispunjuje samo nedostatak svetih, nego čini te se i mnoge hvale daju Bogu,
13
ogledom poreze ove hvaleći Boga za vaše pokorno priznanje jevanđelja Hristovog, i za prostotu podele k njima i k svima,
14
i da se mole Bogu za vas i da čeznu za vama za premnogu blagodat Božju na vama.
15
A hvala Bogu na Njegovom neiskazanom daru.
2 Corinthians
Capitolo 9
1
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.
