9:1 But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:
9:1 论到供给圣徒的事，我不必写信给你们。
9:2 For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.
9:2 因为我知道你们乐意的心，常对马其顿人夸奖你们，说亚该亚人预备好了，已经有一年了。并且你们的热心激动了许多人。
9:3 But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:
9:3 但我打发那几位弟兄去，要叫你们照我的话预备妥当。免得我们在这事上夸奖你们的话落了空。
9:4 For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.
9:4 万一有马其顿人与我同去，见你们没有预备，就叫我们所确信的，反成了羞愧。你们羞愧，更不用说了。
9:5 So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.
9:5 因此我想不得不求那几位弟兄，先到你们那里去，把从前所应许的捐赀，预备妥当，就显出你们所捐的，是出于乐意，不是出于勉强。
9:6 But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.
9:6 少种的少收，多种的多收。这话是真的。
9:7 Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.
9:7 各人要随本心所酌定的。不要作难，不要勉强，因为捐得乐意的人，是神所喜爱的。
9:8 And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:
9:8 神能将各样的恩惠，多多地加给你们。使你们凡事常常充足，能多行各样善事。
9:9 As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.
9:9 如经上所记，他施舍钱财，周济贫穷。他的仁义存到永远。
9:10 And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;
9:10 那赐种给撒种的，赐粮给人吃的，必多多加给你们种地的种子，又增添你们仁义的果子。
9:11 Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.
9:11 叫你们凡事富足，可以多多施舍，就借着我们使感谢归于神。
9:12 For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;
9:12 因为办这供给的事，不但补圣徒的缺乏，而且叫许多人越发感谢神。
9:13 For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;
9:13 他们从这供给的事上得了凭据，知道你们承认基督顺服他的福音，多多地捐钱给他们和众人，便将荣耀归与神。
9:14 While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.
9:14 他们也因神极大的恩赐，显在你们心里，就切切地想念你们，为你们祈祷。
9:15 Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.
9:15 感谢神，因他有说不尽的恩赐。
