¹

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

¹

Њ слyжбэ бо, ћже ко с™ы6мъ, ли1шше ми2 є4сть писaти вaмъ,

²

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and the zeal from you hath stirred up very many of them.

²

вёмъ бо ўсeрдіе вaше, и4мже њ вaсъ хвалю1сz макед0нzнwмъ, ћкw ґхaіа пригот0висz t мимошeдшагw лёта: и3 ћже t вaсъ рeвность раздражи2 мн0жайшихъ.

³

But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:

³

Послaхъ же брaтію, да не похвалeніе нaше, є4же њ вaсъ, и3спраздни1тсz въ чaсти сeй, но да, ћкоже глаг0лахъ, пригот0вани бyдете:

⁴

lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence of glorying.

⁴

да не кaкw, ѓще пріи1дутъ со мн0ю макед0нzне и3 њбрsщутъ вaсъ непригот0ванныхъ, постыди1мсz мы2, да не глаг0лемъ вы2, въ чaсти сeй похвалeніz.

⁵

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your fore-announced bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.

⁵

Потрeбно u5бо ўмhслихъ ўмоли1ти брaтію, да прeжде пріи1дутъ къ вaмъ и3 пред8угот0вzтъ прeжде возвэщeнное бlгословeніе вaше, сіE гот0во бhти тaкw, ћкоже бlгословeніе, ґ не ћкw лихои1мство.

⁶

But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁶

(За? Rп7}.) Сe же глаг0лю: сёzй скyдостію, скyдостію и3 п0жнетъ: ґ сёzй њ бlгословeніи, њ бlгословeніи и3 п0жнетъ.

⁷

Let each man do according as he purposeth in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁷

Кjйждо ћкоже и3зволeніе и4мать сeрдцемъ, не t ск0рби, ни t нyжды: доброх0тна бо дaтелz лю1битъ бGъ.

⁸

And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:

⁸

Си1ленъ же бGъ всsку блгdть и3з8oби1ловати въ вaсъ, да њ всeмъ всегдA всsко дов0лство и3мyще, и3збhточествуете во всsко дёло бlго,

⁹

as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth forever.

⁹

ћкоже є4сть пи1сано: расточи2, дадE ўбHгимъ: прaвда є3гw2 пребывaетъ во вёкъ вёка.

¹⁰

And he that supplieth seed to the sower also supply bread for food, and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹⁰

Даsй же сёмz сёющему и3 хлёбъ въ снёдь, да подaстъ и3 ўмн0житъ сёмz вaше, и3 да возрасти1тъ жи6та прaвды вaшеz,

¹¹

ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

¹¹

да њ всeмъ богатsщесz во всsку простотY, ћже содэвaетъ нaми бlгодарeніе бGу.

¹²

For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

¹²

(За? Rп7f7.) Ћкw раб0та сегw2 служeніz не т0кмw є4сть и3сполнsющаz лишє1ніz с™hхъ, но и3 и3збhточествующаz мн0гими бlгодарeньми бGови:

¹³

seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all;

¹³

и3скушeніемъ служeніz сегw2 слaвzще бGа њ покорeніи и3сповёданіz вaшегw въ бlговэствовaніи хrт0вэ, и3 њ простотЁ соoбщeніz къ ни6мъ и3 ко всBмъ,

¹⁴

while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

¹⁴

и3 њ тёхъ моли1твэ њ вaсъ, возжелёющихъ вaсъ за премн0гую блгdть б9ію на вaсъ.

¹⁵

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

¹⁵

Бlгодарeніе же бGови њ неисповэди1мэмъ є3гw2 дaрэ.
