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

9:14a

And their prayers for you will express their affection for you,

And their prayers for you will express their affection for you: The Greek words are literally “their prayers for you having great affection/yearning for you.” There are several ways to interpret the Greek words:

  1. They have affection for the believers in Corinth and their prayers are the way that they express their affection. For example:

    their prayer for you will express the affection they feel for you (NJB) (BSB, NIV, NJB, NASB, NABRE, NET, REB, NCV)

  2. They will pray with affection for them. For example:

    with deep affection they will pray for you (GNT) (GNT, NLT, GW)

  3. They pray for them and they have affection for them. For example:

    they long for you and pray for you (RSV) (RSV, ESV, CEV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).Harris (p. 657) calls “as they pray” attendant circumstances. Martin (p. 294) translates the text as “in their prayers for you they yearn for you.” Thrall (p. 563) translates the text as “in their prayer for you they will be longing for you.” Other ways to translate this following interpretation (1) are:

in their prayers on your behalf they long for you (NET)

they truly care for you as they pray for you

when they pray, they will wish the best for you

will express their affection for you: The Greek clause is literally “having great affection/yearning for you.” It refers to the believers in Jerusalem liking the believers in Corinth, caring for them, and wanting the best for them. See the examples above.

9:14b

because of the surpassing grace God has given you.

because of the surpassing grace God has given you: The Greek words are literally “because of the surpassing grace of God upon you” (as in the ESV). The word grace is like a gift. God’s gift was that he caused the believers in Corinth to be able to give generously. He did this without requiring the believers to do something for him as payment. Other ways to translate this are:

because of the surpassing grace of God in you (RSV)

because God put an amazing amount of grace upon you

because God blessed you greatly to bless others

See how you translated the word grace in 1:12.

surpassing: This word refers to going beyond an ordinary amount. Other ways to translate this word are:

exceeding (KJV)

extraordinary (GNT)

unbounded (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καὶ αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπέρ ὑμῶν ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς διά τήν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν)

Here, the phrase in their prayer on your behalf could go with: (1) longing. In this case, the word longing describes another thing that the Jerusalem believers do, besides “glorifying God” (See: [9:13](../09/13.md)). Alternate translation: [and they are longing for you in their prayer on your behalf,] (2) the phrase “because of” in the previous verse (See: [9:13](../09/13.md)). In this case, their prayer on your behalf is another reason why God receives glory. Alternate translation: [and because of their prayer on your behalf, in which they long for you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιποθούντων

longing_for

Here, the word longing could introduce: (1) the way in which they pray. Alternate translation: [in which they long] (2) why they pray. Alternate translation: [since they long] (3) something they do along with praying. Alternate translation: [and they long]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφ’ ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπέρ ὑμῶν ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς διά τήν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν)

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a grace that is connected to God. He could mean that the grace: (1) is something that God gave to them to do. Alternate translation: [how God has given you the ability to perform surpassing grace] (2) is how God has acted towards them. Alternate translation: [how God has been surpassingly gracious to you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφ’ ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί αὐτῶν δεήσει ὑπέρ ὑμῶν ἐπιποθούντων ὑμᾶς διά τήν ὑπερβάλλουσαν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how very kind God has been to you] or [what God has graciously enabled you to do]

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.
