2Corinthians:8:1-15

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:2 @ That in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality. (note:)liberality: Gr. simplicity(:note)

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:3 @ For to power, I bear witness, and even beyond power willing of themselves;

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:4 @ Begging us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So that we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. (note:)grace: or, gift(:note)

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Therefore, as ye abound in every faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all diligence, and your love to us, that ye abound in this grace also.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the diligence of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:10 @ And in this I give advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago. (note:)forward: Gr. willing(:note)

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now therefore finish the doing; that as a readiness to will, so a performance also out of that which ye have.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first a willing mind, accepted according to what a man hath, not according to what he hath not.

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For not that other men should be eased, and you burdened:

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:14 @ But by an equality, now at this time your abundance for their want, that their abundance also may be for your want: that there may be equality:

rwbs@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, He that much had nothing over; and he that little had no want.
