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.
AndG2532 hereinG1722+G5129 I giveG1325 my adviceG1106: forG1063 thisG5124 is expedientG4851 for youG5213, whoG3748 have begun beforeG4278, notG3756 onlyG3440 to doG4160, butG235 alsoG2532 to be forwardG2309 a yearG4070 agoG575. {forward: Gr. willing}
NowG3570+G1161 thereforeG2532 performG2005 the doingG4160 of it; thatG3704 asG2509 there was a readinessG4288 to willG2309, soG3779 there may be a performanceG2005 alsoG2532 out ofG1537 that which ye haveG2192.
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.
ForG1063 I mean notG3756 thatG2443 other menG243 be easedG425, andG1161 yeG5213 burdenedG2347:
ButG235 byG1537 an equalityG2471, that nowG3568 atG1722 this timeG2540 yourG5216 abundanceG4051 may be a supply forG1519 theirG1565 wantG5303, thatG2443 theirG1565 abundanceG4051 alsoG2532 may beG1096 a supply forG1519 yourG5216 wantG5303: thatG3704 there may beG1096 equalityG2471:
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, He that had gatheredG3588 muchG4183 hadG4121 nothingG3756 overG4121; andG2532 he that had gatheredG3588 littleG3641 hadG1641 noG3756 lackG1641.
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 putG1325 the sameG846 earnest careG4710 intoG1722 the heartG2588 of TitusG5103 forG5228 youG5216.
ForG3754 indeedG3303 he acceptedG1209 the exhortationG3874; butG1161 beingG5225 more forwardG4707, of his own accordG830 he wentG1831 untoG4314 youG5209.
AndG1161 we have sentG4842 withG3326 himG846 the brotherG80, whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is inG1722 the gospelG2098 throughoutG1223 allG3956 the churchesG1577;
AndG1161 notG3756 that onlyG3440, butG235 who wasG5500 alsoG2532 chosenG5500 ofG5259 the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with usG2257 withG4862 thisG5026 graceG5485, whichG3588 is administeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257 toG4314 the gloryG1391 of the sameG846 LordG2962, andG2532 declaration of yourG5216 ready mindG4288: {grace: or, gift}
AvoidingG4724 thisG5124, that noG3361 manG5100 should blameG3469 usG2248 inG1722 thisG5026 abundanceG100 whichG3588 is administeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257:
ProvidingG4306 for honest thingsG2570, notG3756 onlyG3440 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, butG235 alsoG2532 in the sightG1799 of menG444.
AndG1161 we have sentG4842 with themG846 ourG2257 brotherG80, whomG3739 we haveG1381 oftentimesG4178 provedG1381+G5607 diligentG4705 inG1722 many thingsG4183, butG1161 nowG3570 muchG4183 more diligentG4707, upon the greatG4183 confidenceG4006 whichG3588 I have inG1519 youG5209. {I have: or, he hath}
WhetherG1535 any do enquire ofG5228 TitusG5103, he is myG1699 partnerG2844 andG2532 fellowhelperG4904 concerningG1519 youG5209: orG1535 ourG2257 brethrenG80 be enquired of, they are the messengersG652 of the churchesG1577, and the gloryG1391 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG3767 shew yeG1731 toG1519 themG846, andG2532 beforeG1519+G4383 the churchesG1577, the proofG1732 of yourG5216 loveG26, andG2532 of ourG2257 boastingG2746 onG5228 yourG5216 behalfG5228.

AndG1161 we have sentG4842 withG3326 himG846 the brotherG80, whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is inG1722 the gospelG2098 throughoutG1223 allG3956 the churchesG1577;
ForG1063 asG3303 touchingG4012 the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40, it isG2076 superfluousG4053 for meG3427 to writeG1125 to youG5213:
AndG1161 notG3756 that onlyG3440, butG235 who wasG5500 alsoG2532 chosenG5500 ofG5259 the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with usG2257 withG4862 thisG5026 graceG5485, whichG3588 is administeredG1247 byG5259 usG2257 toG4314 the gloryG1391 of the sameG846 LordG2962, andG2532 declaration of yourG5216 ready mindG4288: {grace: or, gift}
ForG3754 the administrationG1248 of thisG5026 serviceG3009 notG3756 onlyG3440 suppliethG2076+G4322 the wantG5303 of the saintsG40, butG235 is abundantG4052 alsoG2532 byG1223 manyG4183 thanksgivingsG2169 unto GodG2316;
Whiles byG1223 the experimentG1382 of thisG5026 ministrationG1248 they glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 yourG5216 professedG3671 subjectionG5292 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, andG2532 for your liberalG572 distributionG2842 untoG1519 themG846, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 men;
AndG2532 by theirG846 prayerG1162 forG5228 youG5216, which long afterG1971 youG5209 forG1223 the exceedingG5235 graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1909 youG5213.
And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.
AndG2532 whosoeverG3739+G1437 shall give to drinkG4222 unto oneG1520 of theseG5130 little onesG3398 a cupG4221 of coldG5593 water onlyG3440 inG1519 the nameG3686 of a discipleG3101, verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, he shall in no wiseG3364 loseG622 hisG846 rewardG3408.
TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603, and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it. {enough: Heb. all things}
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748+G302 shall doG4160 the willG2307 of myG3450 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 heavenG3772, the sameG846 isG2076 myG3450 brotherG80, andG2532 sisterG79, andG2532 motherG3384.
And he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of GodH430, he and all his companyH4264, and cameH935, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559, Behold, now I knowH3045 that there is no GodH430 in all the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478: now therefore, I pray thee, takeH3947 a blessingH1293 of thy servantH5650.
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.
But he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will receiveH3947 none. And he urgedH6484 him to takeH3947 it; but he refusedH3985.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
AndG1161 whenG5613 she was baptizedG907, andG2532 herG846 householdG3624, she besoughtG3870 us, sayingG3004, IfG1487 ye have judgedG2919 meG3165 to beG1511 faithfulG4103 to the LordG2962, comeG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 houseG3624, and abideG3306 there. AndG2532 she constrainedG3849 usG2248.
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG1161 whenG3752 I comeG3854, whomsoeverG3739+G1437 ye shall approveG1381 byG1223 your lettersG1992, themG5128 will I sendG3992 to bringG667 yourG5216 liberalityG5485 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419. {liberality: Gr. gift}
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 withG3326 youG1438 alwaysG3842, andG2532 whensoeverG3752 ye willG2309 ye mayG1410 doG4160 themG846 goodG2095: butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
AndG1161 ifG1437 it beG5600 meetG514 that I goG4198 alsoG2504, they shall goG4198 withG4862 meG1698.
When JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG1492 his motherG3384, andG2532 the discipleG3101 standing byG3936, whomG3739 he lovedG25, he saithG3004 unto hisG846 motherG3384, WomanG1135, beholdG2400 thyG4675 sonG5207!
ThenG1534 saith heG3004 to the discipleG3101, BeholdG2400 thyG4675 motherG3384! AndG2532 fromG575 thatG1565 hourG5610 that discipleG3101 tookG2983 herG846 untoG1519 his ownG2398 home.
AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248.
ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036, It isG2076 notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132.
WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846.
AndG2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 increasedG837; andG2532 the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 multipliedG4129 inG1722 JerusalemG2419 greatlyG4970; andG5037 a greatG4183 companyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were obedientG5219 to the faithG4102.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went withG4905 themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG5607 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 putG1544 them allG3956 forthG1854, and kneeled downG5087+G1119, and prayedG4336; andG2532 turningG1994 him toG4314 the bodyG4983 saidG2036, TabithaG5000, ariseG450. AndG1161 she openedG455 herG846 eyesG3788: andG2532 when she sawG1492 PeterG4074, she sat upG339.
AndG1161 he gaveG1325 herG846 his handG5495, and liftedG450 herG846 upG450, andG1161 when he had calledG5455 the saintsG40 andG2532 widowsG5503, presentedG3936 herG846 aliveG2198.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101, everyG1538 manG846 according toG2531 his abilityG2141+G5100, determinedG3724 to sendG3992 reliefG1248 untoG1519 the brethrenG80 which dweltG2730 inG1722 JudaeaG2449:
NowG1161 afterG1223 manyG4119 yearsG2094 I cameG3854 to bringG4160 almsG1654 toG1519 myG3450 nationG1484, andG2532 offeringsG4376.
ForG1063 it hath pleased themG2106 of MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882 to makeG4160 a certainG5100 contributionG2842 forG1519 the poorG4434 saintsG40 whichG3588 are atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
NowG1161 concerningG4012 the collectionG3048 forG1519 the saintsG40, asG5618 I have given orderG1299 to the churchesG1577 of GalatiaG1053, evenG2532 soG3779 doG4160 yeG5210.
AndG1161 whenG3752 I comeG3854, whomsoeverG3739+G1437 ye shall approveG1381 byG1223 your lettersG1992, themG5128 will I sendG3992 to bringG667 yourG5216 liberalityG5485 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419. {liberality: Gr. gift}
AndG1161 ifG1437 it beG5600 meetG514 that I goG4198 alsoG2504, they shall goG4198 withG4862 meG1698.
I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, (ye knowG1492 the houseG3614 of StephanasG4734, thatG3754 it isG2076 the firstfruitsG536 of AchaiaG882, andG2532 that they have addictedG5021 themselvesG1438 toG1519 the ministryG1248 of the saintsG40,)
OnlyG3440 they would thatG2443 we should rememberG3421 the poorG4434; the sameG846+G5124 whichG3739 IG4704 alsoG2532 was forwardG4704 to doG4160.
AsG5613 we haveG2192 thereforeG686+G3767 opportunityG2540, let us doG2038 goodG18 untoG4314 allG3956 men, especiallyG1161+G3122 untoG4314 them who are of the householdG3609 of faithG4102.
Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought upG5044 children, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints'G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
HearingG191 of thyG4675 loveG26 andG2532 faithG4102, whichG3739 thou hastG2192 towardG4314 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 towardG1519 allG3956 saintsG40;
ThatG3704 the communicationG2842 of thyG4675 faithG4102 may becomeG1096 effectualG1756 byG1722 the acknowledgingG1922 of everyG3956 good thingG18 whichG3588 is inG1722 youG5213 inG1519 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950 yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731 towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247 to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.
HerebyG1722+G5129 perceive weG1097 the loveG26 of God, becauseG3754 heG1565 laid downG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 usG2257: andG2532 weG2249 oughtG3784 to lay downG5087 our livesG5590 forG5228 the brethrenG80.
ButG1161 whosoG3739+G302 hathG2192 this world'sG2889 goodG979, andG2532 seethG2334 hisG846 brotherG80 haveG2192 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth upG2808 hisG846 bowelsG4698 of compassion fromG575 himG846, howG4459 dwellethG3306 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846?
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, let usG25 notG3361 loveG25 in wordG3056, neitherG3366 in tongueG1100; butG235 in deedG2041 andG2532 in truthG225.
