2 CORINTHIANS 9:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;”
Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else — the collection becomes *proof* (*dokimē*) of authentic faith: *hupakoe*, obedience to Christ, is demonstrated in *koinōnia*, sharing/communion expressed materially. The gospel is not merely *kerygma*, proclamation, but *praxis*, embodied action.
