91 There is no need for me to write to you about this service to the Lord's people.
91 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
91 Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints,
91 If I wrote any more on this relief offering for the poor Christians, I'd be repeating myself.
91 Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you;
91 I really don't need to write to you about this ministry of giving for the believers in Jerusalem.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 9:1
Commentary on 2 Corinthians 9:1-5
(Read 2 Corinthians 9:1-5)
When we would have others do good, we must act toward them prudently and tenderly, and give them time. Christians should consider what is for the credit of their profession, and endeavour to adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour in all things. The duty of ministering to the saints is so plain, that there would seem no need to exhort Christians to it; yet self-love contends so powerfully against the love of Christ, that it is often necessary to stir up their minds by way of remembrance.
