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 .'
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:16 @
And thanks to God ,
who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus ,
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:17 @
because indeed the exhortation he accepted ,
and being more diligent ,
of his own accord he went forth unto you ,
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:18 @
and we sent with him the brother ,
whose praise in the good news [
is ]
through all the assemblies ,
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:19 @
and not only so ,
but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies ,
our fellow-traveller ,
with this favour that is ministered by us ,
unto the glory of the same Lord ,
and your willing mind ;
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:20 @
avoiding this ,
lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us ,
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:21 @
providing right things ,
not only before the Lord ,
but also before men ;
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:22 @
and we sent with them our brother ,
whom we proved in many things many times being diligent ,
and now much more diligent ,
by the great confidence that is toward you ,
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:23 @
whether --
about Titus --
my partner and towards you fellow-worker ,
whether --
our brethren ,
apostles of assemblies --
glory of Christ ;
ylt @
2Corinthians:8:24 @
the shewing therefore of your love ,
and of our boasting on your behalf ,
to them shew ye ,
even in the face of the assemblies .
