II Corinthians 8 (kjv)

Moreover^G1161, brethren^G80, we do^G1107 you^G5213 to wit^G1107 of the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 bestowed^G1325 on^G1722 the churches^G1577 of Macedonia^G3109;²How that^G3754 in^G1722 a great^G4183 trial^G1382 of affliction^G2347 the abundance^G4050 of their^G846 joy^G5479 and^G2532 their^G846 deep^G899 poverty^{G2596 G4432} abounded^G4052 unto^G1519 the riches^G4149 of their^G846 liberality^G572.³For^G3754 to^G2596 their power^G1411, I bear record^G3140, yea, and^G2532 beyond^G5228 their power^G1411 they were willing of themselves^G830;⁴Praying^G1189 us^G2257 with^G3326 much^G4183 intreaty^G3874 that we^G2248 would receive^G1209 the gift^G5485, and^G2532 take upon us the fellowship^G2842 of the ministering^G1248 to^G1519 the saints^G40.⁵And^G2532 this they did, not^G3756 as^G2531 we hoped^G1679, but^G235 first^G4412 gave^G1325 their own selves^G1438 to the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 unto us^G2254 by^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316.⁶Insomuch^G1519 that we^G2248 desired^G3870 Titus^G5103, that^G2443 as^G2531 he had begun^G4278, so^G3779 he would^G2005 also^G2532 finish^G2005 in^G1519 you^G5209 the same^G5026 grace^G5485 also^G2532.⁷Therefore^G235, as^G5618 ye abound^G4052 in^G1722 every^G3956 thing, in faith^G4102, and^G2532 utterance^G3056, and^G2532 knowledge^G1108, and^G2532 in all^G3956 diligence^G4710, and^G2532 in your^G5216 love^{G26 G1537} to^G1722 us^G2254, see that^G2443 ye abound^G4052 in^G1722 this^G5026 grace^G5485 also^G2532.⁸I speak^G3004 not^G3756 by^G2596 commandment^G2003, but^G235 by occasion^G1223 of the forwardness^G4710 of others^G2087, and^G2532 to prove^G1381 the sincerity^G1103 of your^G5212 love^G26.⁹For^G1063 ye know^G1097 the grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, that^G3754, though he was^G5607 rich^G4145, yet for^G1223 your^G5209 sakes^G1223 he became poor^G4433, that^G2443 ye^G5210 through his^G1565 poverty^G4432 might be rich^G4147.¹⁰And^G2532 herein^{G1722 G5129} I give^G1325 my advice^G1106: for^G1063 this^G5124 is expedient^G4851 for you^G5213, who^G3748 have begun before^G4278, not^G3756 only^G3440 to do^G4160, but^G235 also^G2532 to be forward^G2309 a year^G4070 ago^G575.¹¹Now^{G3570 G1161} therefore^G2532 perform^G2005 the doing^G4160 of it; that^G3704 as^G2509 there was a readiness^G4288 to will^G2309, so^G3779 there may be a performance^G2005 also^G2532 out of^G1537 that which ye have^G2192.¹²For^G1063 if there^G1487 be first^G4295 a willing mind^G4288, it is accepted^G2144 according to^G2526 that^G1437 a man^G5100 hath^G2192, and not^G3756 according to that^G2526 he hath^G2192 not^G3756.¹³For^G1063 I mean not^G3756 that^G2443 other men^G243 be eased^G425, and^G1161 ye^G5213 burdened^G2347:¹⁴But^G235 by^G1537 an equality^G2471, that now^G3568 at^G1722 this time^G2540 your^G5216 abundance^G4051 may be a supply for^G1519 their^G1565 want^G5303, that^G2443 their^G1565 abundance^G4051 also^G2532 may be^G1096 a supply for^G1519 your^G5216 want^G5303: that^G3704 there may be^G1096 equality^G2471:¹⁵As^G2531 it is written^G1125, He that had gathered^G3588 much^G4183 had^G4121 nothing^G3756 over^G4121; and^G2532 he that had gathered^G3588 little^G3641 had^G1641 no^G3756 lack^G1641.¹⁶But^G1161 thanks^G5485 be to God^G2316, which^G3588 put^G1325 the same^G846 earnest care^G4710 into^G1722 the heart^G2588 of Titus^G5103 for^G5228 you^G5216.¹⁷For^G3754 indeed^G3303 he accepted^G1209 the exhortation^G3874; but^G1161 being^G5225 more forward^G4707, of his own accord^G830 he went^G1831 unto^G4314 you^G5209.¹⁸And^G1161 we have sent^G4842 with^G3326 him^G846 the brother^G80, whose^G3739 praise^G1868 is in^G1722 the gospel^G2098 throughout^G1223 all^G3956 the churches^G1577;¹⁹And^G1161 not^G3756 that only^G3440, but^G235 who was^G5500 also^G2532 chosen^G5500 of^G5259 the churches^G1577 to travel^G4898 with us^G2257 with^G4862 this^G5026 grace^G5485, which^G3588 is administered^G1247 by^G5259 us^G2257 to^G4314 the glory^G1391 of the same^G846 Lord^G2962, and^G2532 declaration of your^G5216 ready mind^G4288:²⁰Avoiding^G4724 this^G5124, that no^G3361 man^G5100 should blame^G3469 us^G2248 in^G1722 this^G5026 abundance^G100 which^G3588 is administered^G1247 by^G5259 us^G2257:²¹Providing^G4306 for honest things^G2570, not^G3756 only^G3440 in the sight^G1799 of the Lord^G2962, but^G235 also^G2532 in the sight^G1799 of men^G444.²²And^G1161 we have sent^G4842 with them^G846 our^G2257 brother^G80, whom^G3739 we have^G1381 oftentimes^G4178 proved^{G1381 G5607} diligent^G4705 in^G1722 many things^G4183, but^G1161 now^G3570 much^G4183 more diligent^G4707, upon the great^G4183 confidence^G4006 which^G3588 I have in^G1519 you^G5209.²³Whether^G1535 any do enquire of^G5228 Titus^G5103, he is my^G1699 partner^G2844 and^G2532 fellowhelper^G4904 concerning^G1519 you^G5209: or^G1535 our^G2257 brethren^G80 be enquired of, they are the messengers^G652 of the churches^G1577, and the glory^G1391 of Christ^G5547.²⁴Wherefore^G3767 shew ye^G1731 to^G1519 them^G846, and^G2532 before^{G1519 G4383} the churches^G1577, the proof^G1732 of your^G5216 love^G26, and^G2532 of our^G2257 boasting^G2746 on^G5228 your^G5216 behalf^G5228.
