Wesley's Notes for 2 Corinthians 9:4

9:2 I boast to them of Macedonia - With whom he then was.

9:3 I have sent the above mentioned brethren before me.

9:5 Spoken of before - By me, to the Macedonians. Not as a matter of covetousness - As wrung by importunity from covetous persons.

9:6 He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly; he that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully - A general rule. God will proportion the reward to the work, and the temper whence it proceeds.
