Porque me es por demás escribiros acerca de este servicio a los santos;
La Biblia Reina-Valera
Corinthians 9:2"> 2 Pues conozco vuestro pronto ánimo, del cual me glorío yo entre los de Macedonia, que Acaya está apercibida desde el año pasado; y vuestro ejemplo ha estimulado á muchos. Corinthians 9:3"> 3 Mas he enviado los hermanos, porque nuestra gloria de vosotros no sea vana en esta parte; para que, como lo he dicho, estéis apercibidos; Corinthians 9:4"> 4 No sea que, si vinieren conmigo Macedonios, y os hallaren desapercibidos, nos avergoncemos nosotros, por no decir vosotros, de este firme gloriarnos. Corinthians 9:5"> 5 Por tanto, tuve por cosa necesaria exhortar á los hermanos que fuesen primero á vosotros, y apresten primero vuestra bendición antes prometida para que esté aparejada como de bendición, y no como de mezquindad. Corinthians 9:6"> 6 Esto empero digo: El que siembra escasamente, también segará escasamente; y el que siembra en bendiciones, en bendiciones también segará. Corinthians 9:7"> 7 Cada uno dé como propuso en su corazón: no con tristeza, ó por necesidad; porque Dios ama el dador alegre. Corinthians 9:8"> 8 Y poderoso es Dios para hacer que abunde en vosotros toda gracia; á fin de que, teniendo siempre en todas las cosas todo lo que basta, abundéis para toda buena obra: Corinthians 9:9"> 9 Como está escrito: Derramó, dió á los pobres; Su justicia permanece para siempre. Corinthians 9:10"> 10 Y el que da simiente al que siembra, también dará pan para comer, y multiplicará vuestra sementera, y aumentará los crecimientos de los frutos de vuestra justicia; Corinthians 9:11"> 11 Para que estéis enriquecidos en todo para toda bondad, la cual obra por nosotros hacimiento de gracias á Dios. Corinthians 9:12"> 12 Porque la suministración de este servicio, no solamente suple lo que á los santos falta, sino también abunda en muchos hacimientos de gracias á Dios: Corinthians 9:13"> 13 Que por la experiencia de esta suministración glorifican á Dios por la obediencia que profesáis al evangelio de Cristo, y por la bondad de contribuir para ellos y para todos; Corinthians 9:14"> 14 Asimismo por la oración de ellos á favor vuestro, los cuales os quieren á causa de la eminente gracia de Dios en vosotros. Corinthians 9:15"> 15 Gracias á Dios por su don inefable.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For as touching the ministering to the saints,.... It looks at first sight as if the apostle was entering upon a new subject, though by what follows it appears to be the same; for by "ministering to the saints", he does not mean the ministry of the Gospel to them; nor that mutual assistance members of churches are to give each other; but either the fellowship of ministering to the saints, which the churches had entreated him, and his fellow ministers, to take upon them, namely, to take the charge of their collections, and distribute them to the poor saints at Jerusalem; or rather these collections themselves, and their liberality in them: with respect to which he says,

it is superfluous for me to write to you; that is, he thought it unnecessary to say any more upon that head, because he had used so many arguments already to engage them in it, in the foregoing chapter; and because he had sent three brethren to them, who well understood the nature of this service, and were very capable of speaking to it, and of enforcing the reasonings already used; and more especially he judged it needless to dwell on this subject, for the reasons following.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For as touching the ministering to the saints - In regard to the collection that was to be taken up for the aid of the poor Christians in Judea; see the notes on Romans 15:26; 1 Corinthians 16:1; 2 Corinthians 8:0.

It is superfluous ... - It is needless to urge that matter on you, because I know that you acknowledge the obligation to do it, and have already purposed it.

For me to write to you - That is, to write more, or to write largely on the subject. It is unnecessary for me to urge arguments why it should be done; and all that is proper is to offer some suggestions in regard to the manner in which it shall be accomplished.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX.

St. Paul intimates that so ready were the Corinthians to make

this charitable contribution, that it was scarcely necessary

for him to write, 1, 2.

But lest they should not be ready when he came, he had sent

the brethren, Titus, c., beforehand lest, if any of the

Macedonians should come with him, they should find them not

prepared, though he had boasted so much of their ready mind,

3-5.

He gives them directions how they shall contribute; and the

advantage to be gained by it, in the fulfilment of the

promises of God, 6-11.

He shows them that by this means the poor shall be relieved,

God glorified, their Christian temper manifested, and the

prayers of many engaged in their behalf, 12-14.

And concludes with giving thanks to God for his unspeakable

gift, 15.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX.

Verse 2 Corinthians 9:1. It is superfluous for me to write to you — I need not enlarge, having already said enough. See the preceding chapter.
