There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord’s people.

I don’t need to write to you about giving to the Lord’s people.

Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,

I really don’t need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.

For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;

Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.Because of the proof provided by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone.And as they pray on your behalf, they will have deep affection for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.And in this matter I am giving advice because it is profitable for you, who began last year not only to do something but also to want to do it.Now also finish the task, so that just as there was an eager desire, there may also be a completion, according to what you have.For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.It is not that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality.At the present time your surplus is available for their need, so that their abundance may in turn meet your need, in order that there may be equality.As it is written: The person who had much did not have too much, and the person who had little did not have too little.

About the times and the seasons: Brothers and sisters, you do not need anything to be written to you.

Now concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read what was spoken to you by God:

Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs,
