2 Corinthians 9:2

τό before ὑμῶν (אB, 17) rather than ὁ (CDFGKLP); and ὑμῶν (אBCP, f Vulg. Copt. Arm.) rather than ἐξ ὑμῶν (DFGKL, d e).

2. οἶδα γὰρ τ. προθυμίαν. For I know your readiness, of which I am glorying on your behalf to the Macedonians. He is still in Macedonia. Excepting Acts 17:11, προθυμία is peculiar to 2 Cor. (2 Corinthians 8:11-12; 2 Corinthians 8:19); and καυχῶμαι is specially frequent (2 Corinthians 5:12; 2 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 10:15-17; 2 Corinthians 11:12; 2 Corinthians 11:16, &c.); with an acc. of the thing gloried in (2 Corinthians 7:14; 2 Corinthians 10:8; 2 Corinthians 11:30). The present tense covers his action since Titus brought the good news. See Mayor on James 1:9.

Ἀχαία παρεσκεύασται�. Achaia has been prepared since last year, or ‘for a year past’ (R.V.). When 1 Corinthians 16:1-3 was written, Achaia was by no means ready. The troubles in Corinth would put an end to the collection for a time; but now that they are over, the Apostle is glorying of their earlier readiness. For ἀπὸ πέρυσι see on 2 Corinthians 8:10. For ὑμῶν between art. and noun see on 2 Corinthians 12:19.
