47:009:006 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly
shall reap also
sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
bountifully.
47:009:007 Every man according as he purposeth in
his heart, so let him
give;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth
a
cheerful
giver.
47:009:008 And God is able to make all grace abound
toward you; that ye,
always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to
every
good work:
47:009:009 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad;
he hath given to
the
poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
47:009:010 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower
both minister bread
for
your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase
the
fruits
of your righteousness;)
47:009:011 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,
which
causeth
through us thanksgiving to God.
47:009:012 For the administration of this service
not only supplieth the
want
of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
unto
God;
47:009:013 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration
they glorify God
for
your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ,
and
for
your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
47:009:014 And by their prayer for you, which long
after you for the
exceeding
grace of God in you.
47:009:015 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
47:010:001 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness
and gentleness
of
Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being
absent
am
bold toward you:
47:010:002 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold
when I am present
with
that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against
some,
which think of us as if we walked according to the
flesh.
47:010:003 For though we walk in the flesh, we do
not war after the
flesh:
47:010:004 (For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal, but mighty
through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
47:010:005 Casting down imaginations, and every high
thing that exalteth
itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into
captivity
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
47:010:006 And having in a readiness to revenge all
disobedience, when
your
obedience is fulfilled.
47:010:007 Do ye look on things after the outward
appearance? If any man
trust
to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself
think
this
again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we
Christ’s.
47:010:008 For though I should boast somewhat more
of our authority,
which
the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for
your
destruction,
I should not be ashamed:
