KJV ORIGINAL
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They were honestly happy to do it, and they really owe it to them anyway. Think about it — if non-Jewish people got to share in all the spiritual blessings that came through the Jewish community, then it's only right that they give back by helping with physical needs.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you receive spiritual gifts from someone's community, giving back materially isn't just nice — it's fair.
