2 Corinthians 9:1
Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.
3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
