* We make known but to you , O brethren , the favor of the God that having been given by the congregations of the Macedonia ; * that in much trial of affliction abundance of the joy of them , and the in deep poverty of them , abounded to the wealth of the liberality of them ; * because according to power ( testify ) and beyond power of their own accord , * with much earnest entreaty asking of us the favor even the participation of the service of that for the saints . * And not as we expected , but themselves they gave first to the Lord , and to us , through will of God ; * in order that to intreat us Titus , that as he before began , so also he would perfect among you also the gift this . * But as in every thing you abound , (in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence , and in the form of you to us love ,) that also in this the favor you may abound ; * not according to a command I speak , but through of the of others diligence , and that of the your love reality am proving ; * (you know for the favor of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed , that on account of you he became poor rich being , so that you by the of him poverty might become rich ;) * and an opinion in this I give . This for you to you is profitable , who not alone the to do , but also the to will before began from last year ; * now but also the to do do you perfect , that as the promptness of the to will , so also the to finish out of the to have . * If for the promptness is placed first , according to what may have any one , acceptable , not according to what not he has . * Not for , that to others rest , to you but affliction , but out of an equality ; in the present season the to you abundance for the of them want , * so that also the of them abundance may be for the of you want , so that may be an equality ; * even as it has been written : He the much , not had over ; and he the little , not had lack .
