رِسَالَةُ بُولُسَ ٱلرَّسُولِ ٱلثَّانِيةُ إِلَى أَهْلِ كُورِنْثُوسَ 9:2

لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ نَشَاطَكُمُ ٱلَّذِي أَفْتَخِرُ بِهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَدَى ٱلْمَكِدُونِيِّينَ، أَنَّ أَخَائِيَةَ مُسْتَعِدَّةٌ مُنْذُ ٱلْعَامِ ٱلْمَاضِي. وَغَيْرَتُكُمْ قَدْ حَرَّضَتِ ٱلْأَكْثَرِينَ.

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
