A.T. Robertson Commentary
"for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them." — 2 Corinthians 9:2 (ASV)
I glory (καυχωμα). Present middle indicative. I still am glorying, in spite of the poor performance of the Corinthians.
Hath been prepared (παρεσκευαστα). Perfect passive indicative of παρασκευαζω, to make ready, "stands prepared."
Stirred up (ηρεθισε). First aorist active indicative of ερεθιζω (from ερεθω, to excite), to excite in a good sense here, in a bad sense in Col 3:21, the only N.T. examples.
Very many of them (τους πλειονας). The more, the majority.
