It hath pleased them{G2106}{(G5656)} verily{G1063}; and{G2532} their{G846} debtors{G3781} they are{G1526}{(G5748)}. For{G1063} if{G1487} the Gentiles{G1484} have been made partakers{G2841}{(G5656)} of their{G846} spiritual things{G4152}, their duty is{G3784}{(G5719)} also{G2532} to minister{G3008}{(G5658)} unto them{G846} in{G1722} carnal things{G4559}.
Strong's King James
For they took delight as they are debtors to them, because if the Gentile-nations shared their spirituals, they are debtors to those serving them, also in the fleshly (material things).
The F.O.G
[27] They were happy to do this because they feel indebted to them. Since the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they should also share their material blessings with them.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
