2 Corinthians 9:2-4 For I know your forwardness of mind––of which, in your behalf, I am boasting unto Macedonians, that, Achaia, hath been prepared for a year past,––and, your zeal, hath stirred up the greater number of them.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² For I know your forwardness of mind––of which, in your behalf, I am boasting unto Macedonians, that, Achaia, hath been prepared for a year past,––and, your zeal, hath stirred up the greater number of them. ³ Nevertheless I have sent the brethren, that, our boast in your behalf, be not made void, in this respect, that, even as I was saying, ye may be prepared,–– ⁴ Lest by any means, if there should come with me Macedonians, and find you unprepared, we,––not to say, ye,––should be put to shame in this confidence.
