2 Corinthians 9:3 Cross References - Etheridge

³ But I have sent the brethren to you, that our boasting which we boasted of you may not in this affair be vain; but, as I have said, you may be ready:

¹ BUT concerning what is [to be] collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you. ² On each first day of the week let every one of you at his own house lay by and keep something of that which cometh unto his hands, lest when I come there be then collections.[Or, choosings, selections.] ³ And when I come, those whom you shall choose, them will I send with an epistle, that they may take your bounty to Urishlem. ⁴ But if it be a fit work that I too go (thither), they also shall go with me.

¹⁴ Because in whatever I had boasted to him concerning you, I have not been ashamed; but, as of every thing we had spoken truth with you, so also our boasting unto Titos hath been found in truth.

⁶ For we would request of Titos, that as he had begun, so he would carry into accomplishment this beneficence among you also.

¹⁷ For our request he accepted; and because he had great concern, of his own will he hath come forth among you. ¹⁸ But we have sent with him our brother, whose praise in the gospel is in all the churches; ¹⁹ who hath, moreover, been chosen by the churches to go forth with us with this bounty which is ministered by us to the glory of Aloha himself, and unto [the proof of] our cordiality. ²⁰ For we are precautious in this, that no one should lay upon us any imputation [Or, spot.] with regard to this great bounty which is to be administered by us. ²¹ For we are careful for the things which are comely, not only before Aloha, but also before men. ²² But we have also sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved in many [undertakings] to be diligent; but now still more diligent from the great confidence he hath concerning you. ²³ Whether, then, (you regard) Titos, he is my companion and helper among you, or the other brethren, they are the apostles of the churches of the glory of Meshiha. ²⁴ Wherefore the demonstration of your love, and of our boasting concerning you in these [things], make manifest in the sight of all the churches.

⁴ lest, if the Makedunoyee should come with me, and find you not ready, we be shamed-that I may not say, you be shamed-of the boasting which we have boasted. ⁵ For this cause I have been careful to entreat of these brethren to go before to you, to make ready that blessing of which you have caused to be heard before; that it may be prepared, so as that it may be [considered as] a blessing, [and] not as [the reluctant contribution of] avarice.

¹ Put them in mind that to princes and to powers they are to hearken and to be obedient, and to be prepared for every good work.
