dby - 2Corinthians:8:16-9:5

dby@2Corinthians:8:16 @ But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.

dby@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;

dby@2Corinthians:8:18 @ but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;

dby@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only [so], but [is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [a witness of] our readiness;

dby@2Corinthians:8:20 @ avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us;

dby@2Corinthians:8:21 @ for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.

dby@2Corinthians:8:22 @ And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [he has] as to you.

dby@2Corinthians:8:23 @ Whether as regards Titus, [he is] my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, [they are] deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.

dby@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.

dby@2Corinthians:9:1 @ For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.

dby@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].

dby@2Corinthians:9:3 @ But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

dby@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, that we say not ye, may be put to shame in this confidence.

dby@2Corinthians:9:5 @ I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.
