2 Corinthians 9:4

NETBible

For if any of the Macedonians should come with me and find that you are not ready to give, we would be humiliated 1  (not to mention you) by this confidence we had in you. 2 

NIV ©

For if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to say anything about you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.

NASB ©

otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to speak of you—will be put to shame by this confidence.

NLT ©

I would be humiliated––and so would you––if some Macedonian Christians came with me, only to find that you still weren’t ready after all I had told them!

MSG ©

If some Macedonians and I happened to drop in on you and found you weren't prepared, we'd all be pretty red-faced--you and us--for acting so sure of ourselves.

BBE ©

For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

NRSV ©

otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find that you are not ready, we would be humiliated—to say nothing of you—in this undertaking.

NKJV ©

lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.
