All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 2 Corinthians 9:5 | Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) brothers to go to you in advance and to arrange beforehand the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) generous contribution you had previously promised, so that it would be ready as a generous gift and not as something you had to do. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:6 | Remember this: the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who sows generously will also reap generously. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:7 | Each one must give as he has decided in his (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) heart, not reluctantly nor under constraint, for it is the cheerful giver whom God loves. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:8 | And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, in all things and at all times, having all you need, you may overflow in every kind of good work. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:9 | As it is written, “He has distributed generously, he has given to the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) poor; his righteousness endures forever.” |
| 2 Corinthians 9:10 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who supplies seed to the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and enlarge the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) harvest of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) your righteousness. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:11 | In every way you will be made rich for all your generosity, which is producing through us thanksgiving to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God, |
| 2 Corinthians 9:12 | because the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) service of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) this ministry is not only providing for the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) needs of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:13 | By their (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) approval of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) this service, they glorify God for your (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) obedience stemming from (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) your confession in the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ, and for the generosity of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) your partnership with them and with everyone. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:14 | And in their prayers on your behalf they yearn for you because of the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) surpassing grace of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God bestowed on you. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:15 | Thanks be to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God for his inexpressible gift! |
| 2 Corinthians 10:1 | Now I, Paul myself, appeal to you by the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) meekness and gentleness of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ — I who when present am “timid” among you, but when away am “bold” toward you. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:2 | I ask that when I am present I may not have to be “bold,” with (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) such a confidence as I expect I will dare to use against those who (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) think that we are walking according to the flesh. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:4 | for the (ta | τά | nom pl neut) weapons of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) our warfare are not of the flesh, but are empowered by (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments |
| 2 Corinthians 10:5 | and every lofty idea that is raised against the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) knowledge of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God, and we take captive every thought to make it obey Christ. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:6 | And we are ready to avenge every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience becomes complete. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:7 | You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone has persuaded himself that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:8 | For even if I boast about it, and more than that, about the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) authority which the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:9 | I do not want to seem as though I am trying to frighten you with my (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) letters. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:10 | For some are saying, “His (hai | αἱ | nom pl fem) letters are weighty and forceful, but his (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) physical presence is weak, and his (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) rhetoric amounts to nothing.” |
| 2 Corinthians 10:11 | Let such a person consider this, that what we are in (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) word through letters when absent, such we also are in (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) act when present. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:12 | For we would not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) who are recommending themselves. Rather, when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves by themselves, they are without understanding. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:13 | We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but only within the (to | τό | acc sg neut) measure of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) sphere of action which God has assigned to us as a measure, extending even as far as you. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:14 | For it is not as though we had not come to you, over-reaching ourselves, for we did come even as far as you with the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ. |
| 2 Corinthians 10:15 | We will not go beyond proper limits by boasting in the labors of others, but we have hope that as your faith continues to grow, our area of activity among you will be greatly enlarged, |
