SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:6–15: Give generously and joyfully

In this section, Paul continued to encourage the believers in Corinth to give generously and joyfully. He began with a proverb about planting few seeds as compared to planting many seeds (9:6). He told them that a person should decide for himself how much to give and that he should give because he wants to and not because someone is forcing him to give (9:7). He told them to give graciously because God would give graciously to them so that they would have all they needed (9:8). He supported what he said in 9:8 with a quote from the Old Testament (9:9). He used a metaphor of a farmer (9:10) to illustrate that God would provide for them. He told them that God would provide for them generously so they could give generously, which would cause those who received the gift to thank God very much (9:11).

Then Paul explained that the gift would help God’s people who were in need and would cause them to thank God (9:12–13), as well as to pray for the people who had given (9:14). Paul finished by thanking God for his gift of Jesus as Savior (9:15).

Other examples for this section heading are:

Blessings to be expected from the collection (NJB)

The Cheerful Giver (ESV)

Paul encouraged them to give joyfully because they wanted to

9:11a

You will be enriched in every way

You will be enriched in every way: This clause is passive. God makes believers rich in spiritual blessings. Some languages must use an active clause. For example:

God will enrich you in every way

be enriched: Here this verb phrase refers to blessings on earth and rewards in heaven. The verb phrase does not refer only to increasing the amount of things and money someone has.

In some languages the phrase be enriched would refer only to earthly wealth. If that is true in your language, you may want to use a more general verb. For example:

God will cause you to have abundance in every way

9:11b

to be generous on every occasion,

to be generous on every occasion: The Greek words are literally “to all generosity.” God makes believers rich so that they can generously give to others. Other ways to translate this are:

for every kind of generosity (NJB)

to be generous at all times (GNT)

9:11c

so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.

through us: The phrase refers to Paul and others helping to collect the gift of money and take it to the poor believers in Jerusalem. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

Through our action (REB)

administered through us (JBP)

when we take your gifts to those who need them (NLT)

your giving will produce thanksgiving to God: This phrase indicates that the poor believers will thank God when they receive the gift. Here is another way to translate this:

makes people thank God (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πλουτιζόμενοι

˓being˒_made_rich

Here, the phrase being enriched does indicate that the Corinthians have more than enough money and possessions. Paul’s point is that God gives them more than they need so that they can share it with others. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to people having more than they need or being wealthy. Alternate translation: [being made wealthy] or [being given more than enough]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πλουτιζόμενοι

˓being˒_made_rich

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God enriching you]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

εἰς πᾶσαν ἁπλότητα

to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν παντί πλουτιζόμενοι εἰς πασᾶν ἁπλότητα ἥτις κατεργάζεται διʼ ἡμῶν εὐχαριστίαν τῷ Θεῷ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of generosity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to be very generous] or [to act generously in every way]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἥτις

which

The pronoun which refers to generosity. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer more directly to generosity. Alternate translation: [which generosity]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

κατεργάζεται & εὐχαριστίαν τῷ Θεῷ

˓is˒_producing & thanksgiving ¬the ˱to˲_God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of thanksgiving, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [causes thanks to be given to God] or [leads to people thanking God]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ ἡμῶν

through us

Here, the phrase through us shows that Paul and his fellow workers are involved in how the generosity leads to thanksgiving. More specifically, they are the ones who collect and send the gifts to fellow believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [through our work] or [by what we do with your gifts]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:10-14 The Corinthians’ generosity would be matched by God’s generosity (9:10-11). It would also meet the needs of Jewish Christians (9:12), honor God (9:13), show believers in Jerusalem that their Gentile brothers and sisters were genuine believers (9:13), and result in the Jewish believers’ intercessory prayer and affection for the Gentile believers (9:14). Paul envisioned a united, worldwide Christian church, composed of believing Jews and Gentiles who are all one in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28; Eph 2:11-22), which would become a powerful witness to the Lord’s work of reconciliation.
