2 Corinthians 9:4

Modern English Version

and lest if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

See the chapter Copy

For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

On the first day of the week let every one of you lay in store, as God has prospered him, so that no collections be made when I come.

What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.

I know your willingness, for which I boast of you to those in Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

I, Paul, have written this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me even your own self.
