2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 9

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 9:13
  
  relief ministry: This is translated from the Greek term usually rendered “ministry,” which shows that relief efforts in behalf of needy believers are a vital aspect of the Christian ministry, part of “sacred service.”—Ro 12:1, 7; see study notes on Ac 11:29; Ro 15:31; 2Co 8:4.
  
  contribution: The Greek word koi·no·niʹa conveys the basic idea of sharing, and the meaning varies according to context. (See study notes on Ac 2:42; 1Co 1:9.) Here it conveys the idea of giving that is motivated by a feeling of fellowship. The same word is similarly used at Heb 13:16: “Do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.”
