I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Be kindly affectionedG5387 one to anotherG1519+G240 with brotherly loveG5360; in honourG5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; {with…: or, in the love of the brethren}
NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG4151; servingG1398 the LordG2962;
RejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG4335;
DistributingG2841 to the necessityG5532 of saintsG40; givenG1377 to hospitalityG5381.
BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG5209: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361.
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 one toward anotherG1519+G240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. {condescend…: or, be contented with mean things}
RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444.
IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as lieth inG1537 youG5216, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.
Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1698; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962.
ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4675 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG5124 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.

AndG1161 afterG3326 the readingG320 of the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 the rulers of the synagogueG752 sentG649 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, Ye menG435 and brethrenG80, ifG1487 ye haveG2076+G1722+G5213 any wordG3056 of exhortationG3874 forG4314 the peopleG2992, say onG3004.
ForG1063 ourG2257 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 thisG3778, the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 conscienceG4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG390 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4056 toG4314 you-wardG5209.
ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
Whatsoever thy handH3027 findethH4672 to doH6213, doH6213 it with thy mightH3581; for there is no workH4639, nor deviceH2808, nor knowledgeH1847, nor wisdomH2451, in the graveH7585, whither thou goestH1980.
And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179, and the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are amongH7130 you, in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to placeH7931 his nameH8034 there.
And JudasG2455 andG2532 SilasG4609, beingG5607 prophetsG4396 alsoG2532 themselvesG846, exhortedG3870 the brethrenG80 withG1223 manyG4183 wordsG3056, andG2532 confirmedG1991 them.
But thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto him, and shalt surelyH5670 lendH5670 him sufficientH1767 for his needH4270, in that which he wantethH2637.
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
Thou shalt surelyH5414 giveH5414 him, and thine heartH3824 shall not be grievedH3415 when thou givestH5414 unto him: becauseH1558 that for this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thy worksH4639, and in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handH3027 unto.
For the poorH34 shall never ceaseH2308 out ofH7130 the landH776: therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto thy brotherH251, to thy poorH6041, and to thy needyH34, in thy landH776.
How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596+G4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572. {liberality: Gr. simplicity}
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in thy feastH2282, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881, the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are within thy gatesH8179.
AndG1161 when he had gone overG1330 thoseG1565 partsG3313, andG2532 had givenG4183 themG846 muchG4183 exhortationG3870+G3056, he cameG2064 intoG1519 GreeceG1671,
Thou shalt furnishH6059 him liberallyH6059 out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy floorH1637, and out of thy winepressH3342: of that wherewith the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him.
ButG1161 I fearG5399, lestG3381 by any meansG4458, asG5613 the serpentG3789 beguiledG1818 EveG2096 throughG1722 hisG846 subtiltyG3834, soG3779 yourG5216 mindsG3540 should be corruptedG5351 fromG575 the simplicityG572 that is inG1519 ChristG5547.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I will singH7891 of mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941: unto thee, O LORDH3068, will I singH2167.
I will behave myself wiselyH7919 in a perfectH8549 wayH1870. O when wilt thou comeH935 unto me? I will walkH1980 withinH7130 my houseH1004 with a perfectH8537 heartH3824.
I will setH7896 no wickedH1100 thingH1697 before mine eyesH5869: I hateH8130 the workH6213 of them that turn asideH7750; it shall not cleaveH1692 to me. {wicked…: Heb. thing of Belial}
A frowardH6141 heartH3824 shall departH5493 from me: I will not knowH3045 a wickedH7451 person.
Whoso privilyH5643 slanderethH3960+H3960 his neighbourH7453, him will I cut offH6789: him that hath an highH1362 lookH5869 and a proudH7342 heartH3824 will not I sufferH3201.
Mine eyesH5869 shall be upon the faithfulH539 of the landH776, that they may dwellH3427 with me: he that walkethH1980 in a perfectH8549 wayH1870, he shall serveH8334 me. {in a…: or, perfect in the way}
He that workethH6213 deceitH7423 shall not dwellH3427 withinH7130 my houseH1004: he that tellethH1696 liesH8267 shall not tarryH3559 in my sightH5869. {shall not tarry: Heb. shall not be established}
I will earlyH1242 destroyH6789 all the wickedH7563 of the landH776; that I may cut offH3772 all wickedH205 doersH6466 from the cityH5892 of the LORDH3068.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou keep a solemn feastH2287 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977: because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thine increaseH8393, and in all the worksH4639 of thine handsH3027, therefore thou shalt surely rejoiceH8056.
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof;
(For from my youthH5271 he was brought upH1431 with me, as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 her from my mother'sH517 wombH990;) {her: that is, the widow}
If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682;
If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;
ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 to them that are your mastersG2962 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156, inG1722 singlenessG572 of yourG5216 heartG2588, asG5613 unto ChristG5547;
ThenG5119 the deputyG446, when he sawG1492 what was doneG1096, believedG4100, being astonishedG1605 atG1909 the doctrineG1322 of the LordG2962.
The wickedH7563 borrowethH3867, and payeth not againH7999: but the righteousH6662 sheweth mercyH2603, and givethH5414.
ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388:
He hath dispersedH6340, he hath givenH5414 to the poorH34; his righteousnessH6666 endurethH5975 for everH5703; his hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311 with honourH3519.
ServantsG1401, obeyG5219 inG2596 all thingsG3956 your mastersG2962 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; notG3361 withG1722 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 inG1722 singlenessG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 GodG2316:
Take heedG4337 thereforeG3767 unto yourselvesG1438, andG2532 to allG3956 the flockG4168, overG1722 the whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 hath madeG5087 youG5209 overseersG1985, to feedG4165 the churchG1577 of GodG2316, whichG3739 he hath purchasedG4046 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129.
Thou meetestH6293 him that rejoicethH7797 and workethH6213 righteousnessH6664, those that rememberH2142 thee in thy waysH1870: behold, thou art wrothH7107; for we have sinnedH2398: in those is continuanceH5769, and we shall be savedH3467.
He that hath a bountifulH2896 eyeH5869 shall be blessedH1288; for he givethH5414 of his breadH3899 to the poorH1800. {He that…: Heb. Good of eye}
AndG2532+G3739 GodG2316 hath setG5087 someG3303 inG1722 the churchG1577, firstG4412 apostlesG652, secondarilyG1208 prophetsG4396, thirdlyG5154 teachersG1320, after thatG1899 miraclesG1411, thenG1534 giftsG5486 of healingsG2386, helpsG484, governmentsG2941, diversitiesG1085 of tonguesG1100. {diversities: or, kinds}
Every manG1538 according asG2531 he purposethG4255 in his heartG2588, so let him give; notG3361 grudginglyG1537+G3077, orG2228 ofG1537 necessityG318: forG1063 GodG2316 lovethG25 a cheerfulG2431 giverG1395.
NotG3361 forsakingG1459 the assemblingG1997 of ourselvesG1438 togetherG1997, asG2531 the mannerG1485 of someG5100 is; butG235 exhortingG3870 one another: andG2532 so muchG5118 the moreG3123, asG3745 ye seeG991 the dayG2250 approachingG1448.
CastH7971 thy breadH3899 uponH6440 the watersH4325: for thou shalt findH4672 it after manyH7230 daysH3117. {upon…: Heb. upon the face of the waters}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
AndG2532 to esteemG2233 themG846 veryG5228 highlyG1537+G4053 inG1722 loveG26 forG1223 theirG846 work's sakeG2041. And be at peaceG1514 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438.
NowG1161 we exhortG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, warnG3560 them that are unrulyG813, comfortG3888 the feeblemindedG3642, supportG472 the weakG772, be patientG3114 towardG4314 allG3956 men. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}
AndG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, sufferG430 the wordG3056 of exhortationG3874: forG1063+G2532 I have written a letterG1989 unto youG5213 inG1223 few wordsG1024.
GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, and also to eightH8083; for thou knowestH3045 not what evilH7451 shall be upon the earthH776.
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withholdH3240 not thine handH3027: for thou knowestH3045 not whetherH335 shall prosperH3787, either this or that, or whether they bothH8147 shall be alikeH259 goodH2896. {shall prosper: Heb. shall be right}
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
The vile personH5036 shall be no more calledH7121 liberalH5081, nor the churlH3596 saidH559 to be bountifulH7771.
LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319.
But the liberalH5081 devisethH3289 liberal thingsH5081; and by liberal thingsH5081 shall he standH6965. {stand: or, be established}
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
Is it not to dealH6536 thy breadH3899 to the hungryH7457, and that thou bringH935 the poorH6041 that are cast outH4788 to thy houseH1004? when thou seestH7200 the nakedH6174, that thou coverH3680 him; and that thou hideH5956 not thyself from thine own fleshH1320? {cast…: or, afflicted}
Then shall thy lightH216 break forthH1234 as the morningH7837, and thine healthH724 shall spring forthH6779 speedilyH4120: and thy righteousnessH6664 shall goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be thy rerewardH622. {be…: Heb. gather thee up}
Then shalt thou callH7121, and the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030; thou shalt cryH7768, and he shall sayH559, Here I am. If thou take awayH5493 from the midstH8432 of thee the yokeH4133, the putting forthH7971 of the fingerH676, and speakingH1696 vanityH205;
And if thou draw outH6329 thy soulH5315 to the hungryH7457, and satisfyH7646 the afflictedH6031 soulH5315; then shall thy lightH216 riseH2224 in obscurityH2822, and thy darknessH653 be as the noondayH6672:
And the LORDH3068 shall guideH5148 thee continuallyH8548, and satisfyH7646 thy soulH5315 in droughtH6710, and make fatH2502 thy bonesH6106: and thou shalt be like a wateredH7302 gardenH1588, and like a springH4161 of waterH4325, whose watersH4325 failH3576 not. {drought: Heb. droughts} {fail: Heb. lie, or, deceive}
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
ThereforeG3767 whenG3752 thou doestG4160 thine almsG1654, doG4537 notG3361 sound a trumpetG4537 beforeG1715 theeG4675, asG5618 the hypocritesG5273 doG4160 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864 andG2532 inG1722 the streetsG4505, thatG3704 they may have gloryG1392 ofG5259 menG444. VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, They haveG568 theirG846 rewardG3408. {do not…: or, cause not a trumpet to be sounded}
ButG1161 when thouG4675 doestG4160 almsG1654, letG1097 notG3361 thyG4675 left handG710 knowG1097 whatG5101 thyG4675 right handG1188 doethG4160:
ThatG3704 thineG4675 almsG1654 may beG5600 inG1722 secretG2927: andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927 himselfG846 shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
SaluteG782 allG3956 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40. They ofG575 ItalyG2482 saluteG782 youG5209.
AndG2532 the KingG935 shall answerG611 and sayG2046 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye have doneG4160 it unto oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130 myG3450 brethrenG80, ye have doneG4160 it unto meG1698.
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
AndG1161 he looked upG308, and sawG1492 the rich menG4145 castingG906 theirG846 giftsG1435 intoG1519 the treasuryG1049.
AndG1161 he sawG1492 alsoG2532 a certainG5100 poorG3998 widowG5503 castingG906 in thitherG1563 twoG1417 mitesG3016.
AndG2532 he saidG2036, Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 thisG3778 poorG4434 widowG5503 hath castG906 in more thanG4119 they allG3956:
ForG1063 allG537 theseG3778 have ofG1537 theirG846 abundanceG4052 castG906 in untoG1519 the offeringsG1435 of GodG2316: butG1161 sheG3778+G846 ofG1537 herG846 penuryG5303 hath castG906 in allG537 the livingG979 thatG3739 she hadG2192.
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG2258 togetherG1909+G846, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839;
AndG2532 soldG4097 their possessionsG2933 andG2532 goodsG5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 every manG5100 hadG302+G2192 needG5532.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
AndG2532 with greatG3173 powerG1411 gaveG591 the apostlesG652 witnessG3142 of the resurrectionG386 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424: andG5037 greatG3173 graceG5485 wasG2258 uponG1909 themG846 allG3956.
NeitherG3761+G1063 wasG5225 there anyG5100 amongG1722 themG846 that lackedG1729: forG1063 as many asG3745 wereG5225 possessorsG2935 of landsG5564 orG2228 housesG3614 sold themG4453, and broughtG5342 the pricesG5092 of the things that were soldG4097,
AndG2532 laid them downG5087 atG3844 the apostles'G652 feetG4228: andG1161 distribution was madeG1239 unto every manG1538 accordingG2530 asG302 he hadG2192 needG5100+G5532.
AndG1161 there stood upG450 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 namedG3686 AgabusG13, and signifiedG4591 byG1223 the SpiritG4151 that there should beG3195+G1510 greatG3173 dearthG3042 throughoutG1909 allG3650 the worldG3625: whichG3748+G2532 came to passG1096 in the days ofG1909 ClaudiusG2804 CaesarG2541.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141+G5100, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730 inG1722 JudaeaG2449:
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 they didG4160, and sent itG649 toG4314 the eldersG4245 byG1223 the handsG5495 of BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569.
MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, we doG1107 youG5213 to witG1107 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 bestowedG1325 onG1722 the churchesG1577 of MacedoniaG3109;
How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596+G4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572. {liberality: Gr. simplicity}
ForG3754 toG2596 their powerG1411, I bear recordG3140, yea, andG2532 beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willing of themselvesG830;
PrayingG1189 usG2257 withG3326 muchG4183 intreatyG3874 that weG2248 would receiveG1209 the giftG5485, andG2532 take upon us the fellowshipG2842 of the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40.
AndG2532 this they did, notG3756 asG2531 we hopedG1679, butG235 firstG4412 gaveG1325 their own selvesG1438 to the LordG2962, andG2532 unto usG2254 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316.
InsomuchG1519 that weG2248 desiredG3870 TitusG5103, thatG2443 asG2531 he had begunG4278, soG3779 he wouldG2005 alsoG2532 finishG2005 inG1519 youG5209 the sameG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532. {grace: or, gift}
ThereforeG235, asG5618 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 everyG3956 thing, in faithG4102, andG2532 utteranceG3056, andG2532 knowledgeG1108, andG2532 in allG3956 diligenceG4710, andG2532 in yourG5216 loveG26+G1537 toG1722 usG2254, see thatG2443 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 thisG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532.
I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26.
ForG1063 ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG3754, though he wasG5607 richG4145, yet forG1223 yourG5209 sakesG1223 he became poorG4433, thatG2443 yeG5210 through hisG1565 povertyG4432 might be richG4147.
ForG1063 if thereG1487 be firstG4295 a willing mindG4288, it is acceptedG2144 according toG2526 thatG1437 a manG5100 hathG2192, and notG3756 according to thatG2526 he hathG2192 notG3756.
SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG27 unto usG2254.
Use hospitalityG5382 one to anotherG1519+G240 withoutG427 grudgingG1112.
AsG2531 every manG1538 hath receivedG2983 the giftG5486, even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 one to anotherG1519+G1438, asG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316.
If any manG1536 speakG2980, let him speak asG5613 the oraclesG3051 of GodG2316; if any manG1536 ministerG1247, let him do it asG5613 ofG1537 the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 givethG5524: thatG2443 GodG2316 inG1722 all thingsG3956 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG2076 praiseG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
