2 Corinthians 9:2-4

ABU(i) 2 For I know your readiness of mind, of which I boast for you to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared since a year ago; and your zeal stirred up the greater part of them. 3 But I sent the brethren, that our boasting of you might not be made in vain in this respect; that, as I said, ye may be prepared; 4 lest haply, if Macedonians come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in respect to this confidence.
