2 Corinthians 8:1-15

Moreover
<1161>_,
brethren
<80>_,
we do
<1107> (0)
you
<5213>
to wit
<1107> (5719)
of the grace
<5485>
of God
<2316>
bestowed
<1325> (5772)
on
<1722>
the churches
<1577>
of Macedonia
<3109>_;
How that
<3754>
in
<1722>
a great
<4183>
trial
<1382>
of affliction
<2347>
the abundance
<4050>
of their
<846>
joy
<5479>
and
<2532>
their
<846>
deep
<899>
poverty
<2596> <4432>
abounded
<4052> (5656)
unto
<1519>
the riches
<4149>
of their
<846>
liberality
<572>_.
{liberality: Gr. simplicity}
For
<3754>
to
<2596>
[their] power
<1411>_,
I bear record
<3140> (5719)_,
yea, and
<2532>
beyond
<5228>
[their] power
<1411>
[they were] willing of themselves
<830>_;
Praying
<1189> (5740)
us
<2257>
with
<3326>
much
<4183>
intreaty
<3874>
that we
<2248>
would receive
<1209> (5664)
the gift
<5485>_,
and
<2532>
[take upon us] the fellowship
<2842>
of the ministering
<1248>
to
<1519>
the saints
<40>_.
And
<2532>
[this they did], not
<3756>
as
<2531>
we hoped
<1679> (5656)_,
but
<235>
first
<4412>
gave
<1325> (5656)
their own selves
<1438>
to the Lord
<2962>_,
and
<2532>
unto us
<2254>
by
<1223>
the will
<2307>
of God
<2316>_.
Insomuch
<1519>
that we
<2248>
desired
<3870> (5658)
Titus
<5103>_,
that
<2443>
as
<2531>
he had begun
<4278> (5662)_,
so
<3779>
he would
<2005> (0)
also
<2532>
finish
<2005> (5661)
in
<1519>
you
<5209>
the same
<5026>
grace
<5485>
also
<2532>_.
{grace: or, gift}
Therefore
<235>_,
as
<5618>
ye abound
<4052> (5719)
in
<1722>
every
<3956>
[thing, in] faith
<4102>_,
and
<2532>
utterance
<3056>_,
and
<2532>
knowledge
<1108>_,
and
<2532>
[in] all
<3956>
diligence
<4710>_,
and
<2532>
[in] your
<5216>
love
<26> <1537>
to
<1722>
us
<2254>_,
[see] that
<2443>
ye abound
<4052> (5725)
in
<1722>
this
<5026>
grace
<5485>
also
<2532>_.
I speak
<3004> (5719)
not
<3756>
by
<2596>
commandment
<2003>_,
but
<235>
by occasion
<1223>
of the forwardness
<4710>
of others
<2087>_,
and
<2532>
to prove
<1381> (5723)
the sincerity
<1103>
of your
<5212>
love
<26>_.
For
<1063>
ye know
<1097> (5719) (5720)
the grace
<5485>
of our
<2257>
Lord
<2962>
Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>_,
that
<3754>_,
though he was
<5607> (5752)
rich
<4145>_,
yet for
<1223> (0)
your
<5209>
sakes
<1223>
he became poor
<4433> (5656)_,
that
<2443>
ye
<5210>
through his
<1565>
poverty
<4432>
might be rich
<4147> (5661)_.
And
<2532>
herein
<1722> <5129>
I give
<1325> (5719)
[my] advice
<1106>_:
for
<1063>
this
<5124>
is expedient
<4851> (5719)
for you
<5213>_,
who
<3748>
have begun before
<4278> (5662)_,
not
<3756>
only
<3440>
to do
<4160> (5658)_,
but
<235>
also
<2532>
to be forward
<2309> (5721)
a year
<4070>
ago
<575>_.
{forward: Gr. willing}
Now
<3570> <1161>
therefore
<2532>
perform
<2005> (5657)
the doing
<4160> (5658)
[of it]; that
<3704>
as
<2509>
[there was] a readiness
<4288>
to will
<2309> (5721)_,
so
<3779>
[there may be] a performance
<2005> (5658)
also
<2532>
out of
<1537>
that which ye have
<2192> (5721)_.
For
<1063>
if there
<1487>
be first
<4295> (5736)
a willing mind
<4288>_,
[it is] accepted
<2144>
according to
<2526>
that
<1437>
a man
<5100>
hath
<2192> (5725)_,
[and] not
<3756>
according to that
<2526>
he hath
<2192> (5719)
not
<3756>_.
For
<1063>
[I mean] not
<3756>
that
<2443>
other men
<243>
be eased
<425>_,
and
<1161>
ye
<5213>
burdened
<2347>_:
But
<235>
by
<1537>
an equality
<2471>_,
[that] now
<3568>
at
<1722>
this time
<2540>
your
<5216>
abundance
<4051>
[may be a supply] for
<1519>
their
<1565>
want
<5303>_,
that
<2443>
their
<1565>
abundance
<4051>
also
<2532>
may be
<1096> (5638)
[a supply] for
<1519>
your
<5216>
want
<5303>_:
that
<3704>
there may be
<1096> (5638)
equality
<2471>_:
As
<2531>
it is written
<1125> (5769)_,
He that [had gathered
<3588>_]
much
<4183>
had
<4121> (0)
nothing
<3756>
over
<4121> (5656)_;
and
<2532>
he that [had gathered
<3588>_]
little
<3641>
had
<1641> (0)
no
<3756>
lack
<1641> (5656)_.
