9:1 Preparing the aid for the believers

9 It’s unnecessary for me to write to you all about this ministry to the believers 2 because I know about your readiness to help and I’ve been boasting about it to those from Makedonia—that you all in Akaia were ready last year—and your zeal provoked more of them to act. 3 But I sent the brothers so that our boasting about you all won’t be invalidated in this regard, so that you’ll be prepared just as I had told them. 4 Otherwise if somehow some might come with me from Makedonia and find you unprepared, then we (or might we say you all as well) might be disgraced by our confidence. 5 That’s why I considered it necessary to encourage the brothers to go ahead to you all there so they could prearrange the gift that you’d previously promised so that it would be ready as a blessing and not appear as our greediness.

9 Concerning for indeed the service which to the holy ones, superfluous for_me is which to_be_writing to_you_all.

2 For/Because I_have_known the readiness of_you_all, which concerning you_all I_am_boasting to_the_ones_from_Makedonia, that Aⱪaia has_prepared from last_year, and the of_you_all zeal provoked the more of_them.

3 But I_sent the brothers, in_order_that not the boast of_us, which is about you_all, may_be_voided in the regard this, in_order_that as I_was_saying, having_prepared you_all_may_be.

4 Not somehow if may_come with me ones_from_Makedonia, and they_may_find you_all unprepared, may_be_disgraced we, in_order_that not we_may_be_saying you_all, by the confidence this.

5 Therefore necessary I_considered it to_exhort the brothers, in_order_that they_may_go_ahead to you_all and they_may_prearrange the having_previously_promised blessing of_you_all, this ready to_be thus as a_blessing, and not as greediness.
