1:4 encourages (a-2) *Parakaleo* , as [Matthew 2:18](../../../kjv/matthew/2/18) ; [Matthew 5:4](../../../kjv/matthew/5/4) ; [Acts 20:12](../../../kjv/acts/20/12) ; [1 Thessalonians 3:7](../../../kjv/1-thessalonians/3/7) . I do not say 'comfort,' as that is rather conveyed in *paramutheomai* , so translated in [1 Thessalonians 2:11](../../../kjv/1-thessalonians/2/11) ; [1 Thessalonians 5:14](../../../kjv/1-thessalonians/5/14) ; 'console,' [John 11:19](../../../kjv/john/11/19) ,[John 11:31](../../../kjv/john/11/31) ; and 'consolation,' [1 Corinthians 14:3](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/14/3) . The difference is slight, but here, as in [Acts 20](../../../kjv/acts/20) , there is the sense of 'cheered,' and this might replace 'encourage' and 'encouragement' if there were a suitable noun.

9:2 mass (h-32) i.e. 'the body,' as ch. 2.6.

9:5 blessing, (a-21) 'Blessing.' The sense is plain, though the word is unusual. I note it in view of verse 6. It is the spirit in which a man gives. as God gives, freely to bless, so ought we. and such as so give shall so reap from him. you. (b-36) Or 'as covetousness,' from a verb signifying, along with the desire of having, an over-reaching to get.

9:6 blessing (a-21) 'Blessing.' The sense is plain, though the word is unusual. I note it in view of verse 6. It is the spirit in which a man gives. as God gives, freely to bless, so ought we. and such as so give shall so reap from him.

9:7 grievingly, (c-11) Or 'not as grieving [to do it].' contrast with 'cheerful.' giver. (d-20) [Proverbs 22:8](../../../kjv/proverbs/22/8) , LXX.

9:8 gift (e-9) 'Every grace' or 'benefit.'

9:9 written, (f-5) See [Psalms 112:9](../../../kjv/psalms/112/9) .

9:10 abundant (g-17) It is possible to translate. 'now he that supplies seed to the sower shall both supply bread for the eating, and make abundant.'

9:13 communicating (h-29) *Koinonia* , as 'fellowship,' [1 Corinthians 1:9](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/1/9) .
