What does 2 Corinthians 9:1 mean?

The previous chapter urged the Corinthians to follow through on their year-old commitment: contributing to a collection meant to help Christians in Jerusalem. Paul begins this chapter claiming he should not need to say anything more about the importance of this ministry. After all, as the following verses will show, it was the initial enthusiasm of the Corinthians to donate that helped get the project off the ground. Their commitment motivated other churches to join in.

Though it should not be necessary to write about this ministry, Paul has done so and will continue to do so. He is eager to see them complete what they started.
