Moreover [1161], brethren [0080], we do [1107] [0000] you [5213] to wit [1107] [5719] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] bestowed [1325] [5772] on [1722] the churches [1577] of Macedonia [3109];

2

How that [3754] in [1722] a great [4183] trial [1382] of affliction [2347] the abundance [4050] of their [0846] joy [5479] and [2532] their [0846] deep [0899] poverty [2596] [4432] abounded [4052] [5656] unto [1519] the riches [4149] of their [0846] liberality [0572].

3

For [3754] to [2596] [their] power [1411], I bear record [3140] [5719], yea, and [2532] beyond [5228] [their] power [1411] [they were] willing of themselves [0830];

4

Praying [1189] [5740] us [2257] with [3326] much [4183] intreaty [3874] that we [2248] would receive [1209] [5664] the gift [5485], and [2532] [take upon us] the fellowship [2842] of the ministering [1248] to [1519] the saints [0040].

5

And [2532] [this they did], not [3756] as [2531] we hoped [1679] [5656], but [0235] first [4412] gave [1325] [5656] their own selves [1438] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] unto us [2254] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316].

6

Insomuch [1519] that we [2248] desired [3870] [5658] Titus [5103], that [2443] as [2531] he had begun [4278] [5662], so [3779] he would [2005] [0000] also [2532] finish [2005] [5661] in [1519] you [5209] the same [5026] grace [5485] also [2532].

7

Therefore [0235], as [5618] ye abound [4052] [5719] in [1722] every [3956] [thing, in] faith [4102], and [2532] utterance [3056], and [2532] knowledge [1108], and [2532] [in] all [3956] diligence [4710], and [2532] [in] your [5216] love [0026] [1537] to [1722] us [2254], [see] that [2443] ye abound [4052] [5725] in [1722] this [5026] grace [5485] also [2532].

8

I speak [3004] [5719] not [3756] by [2596] commandment [2003], but [0235] by occasion [1223] of the forwardness [4710] of others [2087], and [2532] to prove [1381] [5723] the sincerity [1103] of your [5212] love [0026].

9

For [1063] ye know [1097] [5719] [5720] the grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [3754], though he was [5607] [5752] rich [4145], yet for [1223] [0000] your [5209] sakes [1223] he became poor [4433] [5656], that [2443] ye [5210] through his [1565] poverty [4432] might be rich [4147] [5661].

10

And [2532] herein [1722] [5129] I give [1325] [5719] [my] advice [1106]: for [1063] this [5124] is expedient [4851] [5719] for you [5213], who [3748] have begun before [4278] [5662], not [3756] only [3440] to do [4160] [5658], but [0235] also [2532] to be forward [2309] [5721] a year [4070] ago [0575].

11

Now [3570] [1161] therefore [2532] perform [2005] [5657] the doing [4160] [5658] [of it]; that [3704] as [2509] [there was] a readiness [4288] to will [2309] [5721], so [3779] [there may be] a performance [2005] [5658] also [2532] out of [1537] that which ye have [2192] [5721].

12

For [1063] if there [1487] be first [4295] [5736] a willing mind [4288], [it is] accepted [2144] according to [2526] that [1437] a man [5100] hath [2192] [5725], [and] not [3756] according to that [2526] he hath [2192] [5719] not [3756].

13

For [1063] [I mean] not [3756] that [2443] other men [0243] be eased [0425], and [1161] ye [5213] burdened [2347]:

14

But [0235] by [1537] an equality [2471], [that] now [3568] at [1722] this time [2540] your [5216] abundance [4051] [may be a supply] for [1519] their [1565] want [5303], that [2443] their [1565] abundance [4051] also [2532] may be [1096] [5638] [a supply] for [1519] your [5216] want [5303]: that [3704] there may be [1096] [5638] equality [2471]:

15

As [2531] it is written [1125] [5769], He that [had gathered [3588]] much [4183] had [4121] [0000] nothing [3756] over [4121] [5656]; and [2532] he that [had gathered [3588]] little [3641] had [1641] [0000] no [3756] lack [1641] [5656].

16

But [1161] thanks [5485] [be] to God [2316], which [3588] put [1325] [5723] the same [0846] earnest care [4710] into [1722] the heart [2588] of Titus [5103] for [5228] you [5216].

17

For [3754] indeed [3303] he accepted [1209] [5662] the exhortation [3874]; but [1161] being [5225] [5723] more forward [4707], of his own accord [0830] he went [1831] [5627] unto [4314] you [5209].

18

And [1161] we have sent [4842] [5656] with [3326] him [0846] the brother [0080], whose [3739] praise [1868] [is] in [1722] the gospel [2098] throughout [1223] all [3956] the churches [1577];

19

And [1161] not [3756] [that] only [3440], but [0235] who was [5500] [0000] also [2532] chosen [5500] [5685] of [5259] the churches [1577] to travel [4898] with us [2257] with [4862] this [5026] grace [5485], which [3588] is administered [1247] [5746] by [5259] us [2257] to [4314] the glory [1391] of the same Lord [2962], and [2532] [declaration of] your [5216] ready mind [4288]:

20

Avoiding [4724] [5734] this [5124], that no [3361] man [5100] should blame [3469] [5667] us [2248] in [1722] this [5026] abundance [0100] which [3588] is administered [1247] [5746] by [5259] us [2257]:

21

Providing [4306] [5734] for honest things [2570], not [3756] only [3440] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], but [0235] also [2532] in the sight [1799] of men [0444].

22

And [1161] we have sent [4842] [5656] with them [0846] our [2257] brother [0080], whom [3739] we have [1381] [0000] oftentimes [4178] proved [1381] [5656] [5607] [5752] diligent [4705] in [1722] many things [4183], but [1161] now [3570] much [4183] more diligent [4707], upon the great [4183] confidence [4006] which [3588] [I have] in [1519] you [5209].

23

Whether [1535] [any do enquire] of [5228] Titus [5103], [he is] my [1699] partner [2844] and [2532] fellowhelper [4904] concerning [1519] you [5209]: or [1535] our [2257] brethren [0080] [be enquired of, they are] the messengers [0652] of the churches [1577], [and] the glory [1391] of Christ [5547].

24

Wherefore [3767] shew ye [1731] [5669] to [1519] them [0846], and [2532] before [1519] [4383] the churches [1577], the proof [1732] of your [5216] love [0026], and [2532] of our [2257] boasting [2746] on [5228] [0000] your [5216] behalf [5228].
