那赐种给撒种的,赐粮给人吃的,必多多加给你们种地的种子,又增添你们仁义的果子。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;)
因为办这供给的事,不但补圣徒的缺乏,而且叫许多人越发感谢神。For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
他们从这供给的事上得了凭据,知道你们承认基督顺服他的福音,多多的捐钱给他们和众人,便将荣耀归与神。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;

有人以为我是凭着血气行事,我也以为必须用勇敢待这等人,求你们不要叫我在你们那里的时候,有这样的勇敢。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.
