Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 9:1

1 FOr as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you .

I should think the Particle [non-Latin text not transcribed], here translated for, had been better translated But, as in 1 Pet. 4.15. 2 Pet. 1.9. our Translators do render it. So these words contain an elegant revocation of himself from the Argument he had dwelt upon in the whole former Chapter, and the sense amounts to this: But to what purpose do I multiply words to you, to perswade you to minister to the Saints in distress? as to you it is superfluous. By this Art letting them know, that he had, no doubt, but a confident expectation concerning them; the suggesting of which hath also the force of another Argument, that they might not deceive the Apostles good opinion and confidence of them.
