2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.

3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
ἔπεμψα I have sent V-AAI-1S δὲ however CONJ τοὺς the T-APM ἀδελφούς, brothers, N-APM ἵνα that CONJ μὴ not PRT-N τὸ the T-NSN καύχημα boasting N-NSN ἡμῶν of us P-1GP τὸ which [is] T-NSN ὑπὲρ about PREP ὑμῶν you P-2GP κενωθῇ may be made void V-APS-3S ἐν in PREP τῷ <the> T-DSN μέρει matter N-DSN τούτῳ, this, D-DSN ἵνα that CONJ καθὼς even as CONJ ἔλεγον I was saying V-IAI-1S παρεσκευασμένοι having prepared yourselves V-RMP-NPM ἦτε, you may be, V-PAS-2P
4 Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.

7 Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
