    2For I know your eagerness, which I boast about on your behalf to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been prepared since last year. And your zeal has stirred up many others.

    3But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting about you in this matter might not be empty, so that you may be ready, just as I said.

    4Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we would be ashamed—not to mention you—in this confidence of boasting.

    5So I considered it necessary to urge the brothers to go ahead to you and prepare in advance the generous gift you had promised, so that it may be ready as a blessing, and not as something given reluctantly.
