The Collection for Christians in Jerusalem
1I really don’t need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.9:1 Greek about the offering for God’s holy people.
2For I know how eager you are to help, and I have been boasting to the churches in Macedonia that you in Greece9:2 Greek in Achaia, the southern region of the Greek peninsula. Macedonia was in the northern region of Greece. were ready to send an offering a year ago. In fact, it was your enthusiasm that stirred up many of the Macedonian believers to begin giving.
3But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don’t want to be wrong in my boasting about you.
4We would be embarrassed—not to mention your own embarrassment—if some Macedonian believers came with me and found that you weren’t ready after all I had told them!
5So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.
6Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
7You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”9:7 See footnote on Prov 22:8.
8And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
9As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”9:9 Ps 112:9.
10For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity9:10 Greek righteousness. in you.
11Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.
12So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem9:12 Greek of God’s holy people. will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
13As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ.
14And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you.
15Thank God for this gift9:15 Greek his gift. too wonderful for words!
