Young's Literal Translation
2 Corinthians, Chapter 9

   1: For, indeed, concerning the ministration that [is] for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you,
   2: for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part,
   3: and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready,
   4: lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we -- we may be put to shame (that we say not -- ye) in this same confidence of boasting.
   5: Necessary, therefore, I thought [it] to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.
   6: And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;
   7: each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,
   8: and God [is] able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,
   9: (according as it hath been written, 'He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,')
   10: and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
   11: in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,
   12: because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
   13: through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,
   14: and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you;
   15: thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
