updv@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brothers, we make known to you(note:){+}(:note) the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;

updv@2Corinthians:8:2 @ how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

updv@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For according to their power, I bear witness, yes and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,

updv@2Corinthians:8:4 @ imploring us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints:

updv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

updv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you(note:){+}(:note) this grace also.

updv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you(note:){+}(:note) abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] our love to you{+}, [see] that you{+} abound in this grace also.

updv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I don't speak by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your(note:){+}(:note) love.

updv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you(note:){+}(:note) know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your{+} sakes he became poor, that you{+} through his poverty might become rich.

updv@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you(note:){+}(:note), who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

updv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your(note:){+}(:note) ability.

updv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according to as [a man] has, not according to as [he] has not.

updv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For not that others may be eased [and] you(note:){+}(:note) distressed; but by equality:

updv@2Corinthians:8:14 @ your(note:){+}(:note) abundance at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become for your{+} want; that there may be equality:

updv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ as it is written, He who [gathered] much had nothing over; and he who [gathered] little had no lack.

updv@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you(note:){+}(:note) into the heart of Titus.

updv@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth to you(note:){+}(:note) of his own accord.

updv@2Corinthians:8:18 @ And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the good news [is spread] through all the churches;

updv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches as our travel companion in [the matter of] this grace, which is being provided by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [to show] our readiness:

updv@2Corinthians:8:20 @ Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is being provided by us:

updv@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

updv@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he has] in you(note:){+}(:note).

updv@2Corinthians:8:23 @ Whether [any inquire] about Titus, my partner and coworker toward you(note:){+}(:note), or our brothers, the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.

updv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show(note:){+}(:note) to them in the face of the churches the proof of your{+} love, and of our glorying on your{+} behalf.
