← 2 Corinthians 9:1	2 Corinthians 9:2 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 9:3 →
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:	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.	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:
