ylt @2Corinthians:8:1 @And we make known to you , brethren , the grace of God , that hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia , ylt @2Corinthians:8:2 @because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy , and their deep poverty , did abound to the riches of their liberality ; ylt @2Corinthians:8:3 @because , according to [their ] power , I testify , and above [their ] power , they were willing of themselves , ylt @2Corinthians:8:4 @with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints , ylt @2Corinthians:8:5 @and not according as we expected , but themselves they did give first to the Lord , and to us , through the will of God , ylt @2Corinthians:8:6 @so that we exhorted Titus , that , according as he did begin before , so also he may finish to you also this favour , ylt @2Corinthians:8:7 @but even as in every thing ye do abound , in faith , and word , and knowledge , and all diligence , and in your love to us , that also in this grace ye may abound ; ylt @2Corinthians:8:8 @not according to command do I speak , but because of the diligence of others , and of your love proving the genuineness , ylt @2Corinthians:8:9 @for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ , that because of you he became poor -- being rich , that ye by that poverty may become rich . ylt @2Corinthians:8:10 @and an opinion in this do I give : for this to you [is ] expedient , who not only to do , but also to will , did begin before -- a year ago , ylt @2Corinthians:8:11 @and now also finish doing [it ], that even as [there is ] the readiness of the will , so also the finishing , out of that which ye have , ylt @2Corinthians:8:12 @for if the willing mind is present , according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted , not according to that which he hath not ; ylt @2Corinthians:8:13 @for not that for others release , and ye pressured , [do I speak ,] ylt @2Corinthians:8:14 @but by equality , at the present time your abundance -- for their want , that also their abundance may be for your want , that there may be equality , ylt @2Corinthians:8:15 @according as it hath been written , 'He who [did gather ] much , had nothing over ; and he who [did gather ] little , had no lack .'
