Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 9:4

4 Lest haply, if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not you) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting .

For if I should come, and any of the Members of the Churches of Macedonia, who have heard me boasting of you as a people very forward in this charitable work, and when they are come, they should find you had done nothing, only talked much of your readiness; both I should be ashamed, and you also might see some cause to blush, which I, who consult your honour and reputation equally with my own, would prevent.
