  8:1 ¶
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia; |
|
8:1 ¶
Moreover,°
brethren,°
we do°°
you°
to wit°°°
of the°
grace°
of God°
bestowed°°
on°
the°
churches°
of Macedonia;° |
|
8:2
how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. |
|
8:2
How that°
in°
a great°
trial°
of affliction°
the°
abundance°
of their°
joy°
and°
their°
deep°
poverty°°
abounded°°
unto°
the°
riches°
of their°
liberality.° |
|
8:3
For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord, |
|
8:3
For°
to°
[their] power,°
I bear record,°°
yea, and°
beyond°
[their] power°
[they were] willing of themselves;° |
|
8:4
beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: |
|
8:4
Praying°°
us°
with°
much°
intreaty°
that we°
would receive°°
the°
gift,°
and°
[take upon us] the°
fellowship°
of the°
ministering°
to°
the°
saints.° |
|
8:5
and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. |
|
8:5
And°
[this they did], not°
as°
we hoped,°°
but°
first°
gave°°
their own selves°
to the°
Lord,°
and°
unto us°
by°
the will°
of God.° |
|
8:6
Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. |
|
8:6
Insomuch°
that we°
desired°°
Titus,°
that°
as°
he had begun,°°
so°
he would°°
also°
finish°°
in°
you°
the°
same°
grace°
also.° |
|
8:7
But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. |
|
8:7
Therefore,°
as°
ye abound°°
in°
every°
[thing, in] faith,°
and°
utterance,°
and°
knowledge,°
and°
[in] all°
diligence,°
and°
[in]°
your°
love°°
to°
us,°
[see] that°
ye abound°°
in°
this°
grace°
also.° |
|
8:8
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. |
|
8:8
I speak°°
not°
by°
commandment,°
but°
by occasion°
of°
the°
forwardness°
of others,°
and°
to prove°°
the°
sincerity°
of your°
love.° |
|
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 become rich. |
|
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.°° |
|
8:10
And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. |
|
8:10
And°
herein°°
I give°°
[my] advice:°
for°
this°
is expedient°°
for you,°
who°
have begun before,°°
not°
only°
to do,°°
but°
also°
to be forward°°
a year°
ago.°° |
|
8:11
But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability. |
|
8:11
°
Now°°
therefore°
perform°°
the°
doing°°
[of it]; that°
as°
[there was] a readiness°
to will,°°
so°
[there may be] a performance°°
also°
out of°
that which ye have.°° |
|
8:12
For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not. |
|
8:12
For°
if°
there°
be first°°
a willing mind,°°
[it is] accepted°
according to°
that°°
a man°
hath,°°°
[and] not°
according to that°
he hath°°
not.° |
|
8:13
For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed; |
|
8:13
For°
[I mean] not°
that°
other men°
be eased,°
and°
ye°
burdened:° |
|
8:14
but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: |
|
8:14
But°
by°
an equality,°
[that] now°
at°
this time°
your°
abundance°
[may be a supply] for°
their°
want,°
that°
their°
abundance°
also°
may be°°
[a supply] for°
your°
want:°
that°
there may be°°
equality:° |
|
8:15
as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack. |
|
8:15
As°
it is written,°°
He°
that [had gathered]°
much°
had°°
nothing°
over;°°°
and°
he°
that [had gathered]°
little°
had°°
no°
lack.°°° |
|
8:16
But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus. |
|
8:16
But°
thanks°
[be] to God,°
which°
put°°
the°
same°
earnest care°
into°
the°
heart°
of Titus°
for°
you.° |
|
8:17
For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord. |
|
8:17
For°
indeed°
he accepted°°
the°
exhortation;°
but°
being°°
more forward,°
of his own accord°
he went°°
unto°
you.° |
|
8:18
And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches; |
|
8:18
And°
we have sent°°
with°
him°
the°
brother,°
whose°
praise°
[is] in°
the°
gospel°
throughout°
all°
the°
churches;° |
|
8:19
and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to show] our readiness: |
|
8:19
And°
not°
[that] only,°
but°
who was°°
also°
chosen°°
of°
the°
churches°
to travel°
with°
us°
with°
this°
grace,°
which°
is administered°°
by°
us°
to°
the°
glory°
of the°
same°
Lord,°
and°
[declaration of] your°
ready mind:° |
|
8:20
Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us: |
|
8:20
Avoiding°°
this,°
that no°
man°
should blame°°
us°
in°
this°
abundance°
which°
is administered°°
by°
us:° |
|
8:21
for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. |
|
8:21
Providing°°
for°
honest things,°
not°
only°
in the sight°
of the Lord,°
but°
also°
in the sight°
of men.° |
|
8:22
and we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you. |
|
8:22
And°
we have sent°°
with°
them°
our°
brother,°
whom°
we have°°
oftentimes°
proved°°°°
diligent°
in°
many things,°
but°
now°
much°
more diligent,°
upon the great°
confidence°
which°
[I have] in°
you.° |
|
8:23
Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward, or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ. |
|
8:23
Whether°
[any do enquire] of°
Titus,°
[he is] my°
partner°
and°
fellowhelper°
concerning°
you:°
or°
our°
brethren°
[be enquired of, they are] the messengers°
of the churches,°
[and] the glory°
of Christ.° |
|
8:24
Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf. |
|
8:24
Wherefore°
shew°
ye°°
to°
them,°
and°
before°°
the°
churches,°
the°
proof°
of your°
love,°
and°
of our°
boasting°
on°°
your°
behalf.°° |
