2 Corinthians 9:3-4
9:3 But I am sending 1 these brothers so that our boasting about you may not be empty in this case, so that you may be ready 2 just as I kept telling them.
9:4 For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated 3 (not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you. 4
1 tn This verb has been translated as an epistolary aorist.
2 tn That is, ready with the collection for the saints.
3 tn Or “be disgraced”; Grk “be put to shame.”
