1Moreover^G1161, brethren^G80, we make known^G1107 to you^G5213 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316 which hath been given^G1325 in^G1722 the churches^G1577 of Macedonia^G3109; 2how that^G3754 in^G1722 much^G4183 proof^G1382 of affliction^G2347 the abundance^G4050 of their^G846 joy^G5479 and^G2532 their^G846 deep^G899 poverty^G4432 abounded^G4052 unto^G1519 the riches^G4149 of their^G846 liberality^G572. 3For^G3754 according to^G2596 their power^G1411, I bear witness^G3140, yea and^G2532 beyond^G5228 their power^G1411, they gave of their own accord^G830, 4beseeching^G1189 us^G2257 with^G3326 much^G4183 entreaty^G3874 in^G2248 regard^G1209 of this grace^G5485 and^G2532 the fellowship^G2842 in the ministering^G1248 to^G1519 the saints^G40: 5and^G2532 this, not^G3756 as^G2531 we had hoped^G1679, but^G235 first^G4412 they gave^G1325 their own selves^G1438 to the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 to us^G2254 through^G1223 the will^G2307 of God^G2316. 6Insomuch^G1519 that^G3870 we^G2248 exhorted^G3870 Titus^G5103, that^G2443 as^G2531 he made a beginning^G4278 before, so^G3779 he would also^G2532 complete^G2005 in^G1519 you^G5209 this^G3778 grace^G5485 also^G2532. 7But^G235 as^G5618 ye abound^G4052 in^G1722 everything^G3956, in faith^G4102, and^G2532 utterance^G3056, and^G2532 knowledge^G1108, and^G2532 in all^G3956 earnestness^G4710, and^G2532 in your^G5216 love^G26 to^G1722 us^G2254, see that^G2443 ye abound^G4052 in^G1722 this^G3778 grace^G5485 also^G2532. 8I speak^G3004 not^G3756 by^G2596 way of commandment^G2003, but^G235 as^G1223 proving^G1381 through the earnestness^G4710 of others^G2087 the sincerity^G1103 also^G2532 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 sakes^G5209 he became poor^G4433, that^G2443 ye^G5210 through his^G1565 poverty^G4432 might become rich^G4147. 10And^G2532 herein^G1722 I give^G1325 my judgment^G1106: for^G1063 this^G5124 is expedient^G4851 for you^G5213, who^G3748 were the first^G4278 to make a beginning a^G575 year ago^G4070, not^G3756 only^G3440 to do^G4160, but^G235 also^G2532 to will^G2309. 11But^G2532 now^G3570 complete^G2005 the doing^G4160 also; that^G3704 as^G2509 there was the readiness^G4288 to will^G2309, so^G3779 there may be the completion^G2005 also^G2532 out of^G1537 your^G3588 ability^G2192. 12For^G1063 if^G1487 the readiness^G4288 is there^G4295, it is acceptable^G2144 according as^G2526 a man^G5100 hath^G1437, not^G3756 according as^G2526 he hath^G2192 not^G3756. 13For^G1063 I say not^G3756 this that^G2443 others^G243 may be eased^G425 and^G1161 ye^G5213 distressed^G2347; 14but^G235 by^G1537 equality^G2471: your^G5216 abundance^G4051 being a supply at^G1722 this present^G3568 time^G2540 for^G1519 their^G1565 want^G5303, that^G2443 their^G1565 abundance^G4051 also^G2532 may become^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^G3588 gathered much^G4183 had^G4121 nothing^G3756 over^G4121; and^G2532 he that^G3588 gathered little^G3641 had^G1641 no^G3756 lack^G1641. 16But^G1161 thanks^G5485 be to God^G2316, who^G3588 putteth^G1325 the same^G846 earnest care^G4710 for^G5228 you^G5216 into^G1722 the heart^G2588 of Titus^G5103. 17For^G3754 he accepted^G1209 indeed^G3303 our exhortation^G3874; but^G1161 being^G5225 himself very earnest^G4705, he went^G1831 forth unto^G4314 you^G5209 of his own accord^G830. 18And^G1161 we have sent^G4842 together with^G3326 him^G846 the brother^G80 whose^G3739 praise^G1868 in^G1722 the gospel^G2098 is spread through^G1223 all^G3956 the churches^G1577; 19and^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 so, but^G235 who was^G5500 also^G2532 appointed^G5500 by^G5259 the churches^G1577 to travel with^G4898 us^G2257 in the matter^G4862 of this^G3778 grace^G5485, which^G3588 is ministered^G1247 by^G5259 us^G2257 to^G4314 the glory^G1391 of the^G846 Lord^G2962, and^G2532 to show our^G5216 readiness^G4288: 20Avoiding^G4724 this^G5124, that any^G3361 man^G5100 should blame^G3469 us^G2248 in^G1722 the matter of this^G3778 bounty^G100 which is ministered^G1247 by^G5259 us^G2257: 21for^G4306 we take thought for things^G2570 honorable, not^G3756 only^G3440 in the sight of^G1799 the Lord^G2962, but^G235 also^G2532 in the sight^G1799 of men^G444. 22and^G1161 we have sent with^G4842 them^G846 our^G2257 brother^G80, whom^G3739 we have^G1381 many times^G4178 proved^G1381 earnest^G4705 in^G1722 many things^G4183, but^G1161 now^G3570 much^G4183 more earnest^G4706, by reason of the great^G4183 confidence^G4006 which^G3588 he hath in^G1519 you^G4706. 23Whether^G1535 any inquire about^G5228 Titus^G5103, he is my^G1699 partner^G2844 and^G2532 my fellow-worker^G4904 to^G1519 you-ward^G5209, or^G1535 our^G2257 brethren^G80, they are the messengers^G652 of the churches^G1577, they are the glory^G1391 of Christ^G5547. 24Show^G1731 ye therefore^G3767 unto^G1519 them^G846 in^G1519 the face^G4383 of the churches^G1577 the proof^G1732 of your^G5216 love^G26, and^G2532 of our^G2257 glorying^G2746 on^G5228 your behalf^G5216.
