1 In fact, there is no need for me to write to you about this help of God’s people.
2 Corinthians 9: 1

2 I know you want to help me. I am proud to tell the people of Macedonia about this. I have told them that you people of Achaia have been ready to give alms since last year. And this desire to give has created in many other people the desire to give.
2 Corinthians 9: 2

3 But I am sending the brothers to you. I do not want my pride in you in this matter to be in vain. I want you to be as ready as I told you.
2 Corinthians 9: 3

4If people from Macedonia come with me and find out that you are not ready for it, it would be an insult to us. We would be ashamed to say that we trusted you so much. Needless to say, you too will be ashamed.
2 Corinthians 9: 4

5 So I thought I should send these brothers to you before we come to you. They will be able to make the gift you promised. It will be your gift. Then when we come, the gift you wanted to give will be the festival. Then this gift will be a voluntary gift and not an involuntary one.
2 Corinthians 9: 5

6 Remember this; He who sows little receives little. But he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

9 It is written, “He gives generously to the poor, and his mercy endures forever.”

11 God will make you rich in every way so that you can always give generously. And your gift through us will make people thank God.
2 Corinthians 9:11

12 The contribution you make to this service contributes to the needs of God’s people. But your service is not enough. It brings more thanks to God.
2 Corinthians 9:12

13 The contribution you make is a testament to your faith. People will praise God for this. They will praise God because you follow the gospel of Christ, the gospel you believe in. People will praise God because you share with them and with all people.
2 Corinthians 9:13

14 And when they pray, they imagine that they are with you. They will do this because God’s undeserved kindness is with you.

15 Thanks be to God for this wonderful gift.

Song of Praise

1 It is good to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High. On the tune of Bihag.

2 It is good to sing about your love in the morning and about your faithfulness at night.

3 It is good for you, O God, to play music on ten-stringed instruments, on fiddle, and on harp.

4 O LORD, thou hast made me glad with thy works: I will cry aloud for the work of thine hand.

5 How great are thy works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!

6 The foolish man knoweth not, neither the foolish man understandeth it.

7 For when the wicked sprout forth like grass, and all the wicked flourish, it is because they shall perish for ever.

8 But you, O Lord, are great forever and ever.

9 Behold, thine enemy, O LORD, behold, thine enemies shall perish, and all the wicked shall be scattered.

10 But thou hast lifted up my horn like the horns of a wild ox: I am anointed with pure oil.

11 My eye hath looked upon my enemies, and my ear hath heard the voice of my adversaries.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will wave in the courts of God.

14 They shall bear fruit in old age, they shall be green and full of juice,

15 that they may declare that the LORD is true, he is my rock, and there is no ungodly man in him.
