Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

2 Corinthians 9:5

Go before. Notice the thrice repeated before, emphasizing the injunction to have everything ready before Paul's arrival.

Make up beforehand [π ρ ο κ α τ α ρ τ ι σ ω σ ι ν]. Adjust. See on Matthew 4:21; Matthew 21:16; Luke 6:40; 1 Peter 5:10.

Bounty [ε υ λ ο γ ι α ν]. Lit., blessing. In this sense only here in the New Testament. In the Septuagint indifferently of gift or blessing. See Genesis 33:11; Jude 1:15; Ezekiel 34:26. In Proverbs 11:25, liberal soul is rendered by Sept., eujlogoumenh blessed.

Whereof ye had notice before [π ρ ο ε π η γ γ ε λ η μ ε ν η ν]. Rev., better, your afore - promised bounty. The bounty promised by you, or by me on your behalf.
