1 Jer za takvu porezu koja se kupi svetima nije mi potrebno pisati vam;
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
2 jer poznajem vašu dobru volju, za koju se o vama hvalim Makedoncima da se Ahaja pripremi od prošle godine, i vaša revnost razdraži mnoge.
2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
3 A braću poslah da se hvala naša vama ne isprazni u ovoj stvari, nego da budete prigotovljeni, kao što sam govorio;
3 But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
4 da se, ako dođu sa mnom Makedonci i među vas neprigotovljene, ne osramotimo mi (da ne kažem vi) u toj hvali.
4 lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.
5 Tako nađoh da je potrebno umoliti braću da napred idu k vama, i da priprave ovaj napred obrečeni vaš blagoslov, da bude gotov tako kao blagoslov, a ne kao lakomstvo.
5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
6 Ovo pak velim: koji s tvrđom seje, s tvrđom će i požnjeti; a koji blagoslov seje, blagoslov će i požnjeti.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Svaki po volji svog srca, a ne sa žalošću ili od nevolje; jer Bog ljubi onog koji dragovoljno daje.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 A Bog je kadar učiniti da je među vama izobilna svaka blagodat, da u svemu svagda svako dovoljstvo imajući izobilujete za svako dobro delo;
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
9 kao što je pisano: Prosu, dade siromasima; pravda njegova ostaje vavek.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”
10 A koji daje seme sejaču, daće i hleb za jelo: i umnožiće seme vaše, i daće da uzrastu žita pravde vaše;
10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 da se u svemu obogatite za svaku prostotu koja kroz nas čini hvalu Bogu.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
12 Jer služba ove poreze ne ispunjuje samo nedostatak svetih, nego čini te se i mnoge hvale daju Bogu,
12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,
13 ogledom poreze ove hvaleći Boga za vaše pokorno priznanje jevanđelja Hristovog, i za prostotu podele k njima i k svima,
13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,
14 i da se mole Bogu za vas i da čeznu za vama za premnogu blagodat Božju na vama.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 A hvala Bogu na Njegovom neiskazanom daru.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Though he had said so much about it, he says here, "It is superfluous for me to write to you." And his wisdom is shown not only in this, that though he had said so much about it, he saith, "it is superfluous for me to write to you," but in that he yet again speaketh of it.

… to the end shall be saved." They grieve for sin, hearing that "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." They rejoice in good works, because they hear that "the Lord loveth a cheerful giver." In like manner, according as they are strong or weak, they fear or desire to …

Because then also, when things were desperate, there was a sort of deliverance and reformation; but then by punishment, now, on the contrary, by grace and an unspeakable gift. Therefore the dove also appears, not bearing an olive branch, but pointing out to us our Deliverer from all evils, and suggesting the gracious hopes.

Then, as to what He says, "From him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away," it is to be referred to the mind; for God loveth a cheerful giver. Moreover, every one who accepts anything borrows, even if he himself is not going to pay it; for inasmuch as God pays back more to the merciful, whosoever does …

"That, always having all sufficiency, we may abound unto every good work." See how they fulfill that word of the gospel which saith, "Give us this day our daily bread," and how they seek even this for spiritual ends.
