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.

ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
AndG2532 that he diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 they which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto him which diedG599 forG5228 themG846, andG2532 rose againG1453.
Then the spiritH7307 cameH3847 upon AmasaiH6022, who was chiefH7218 of the captainsH7970+H7991, and he said, Thine are we, DavidH1732, and on thy side, thou sonH1121 of JesseH3448: peaceH7965, peaceH7965 be unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine helpersH5826; for thy GodH430 helpethH5826 thee. Then DavidH1732 receivedH6901 them, and madeH5414 them captainsH7218 of the bandH1416. {came…: Heb. clothed}
Therefore also I have lentH7592 him to the LORDH3068; as long as he livethH3117 he shall be lentH7592 to the LORDH3068. And he worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 there. {lent him: or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition} {he shall…: or, he whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned}
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
For I will pourH3332 waterH4325 upon him that is thirstyH6771, and floodsH5140 upon the dry groundH3004: I will pourH3332 my spiritH7307 upon thy seedH2233, and my blessingH1293 upon thine offspringH6631:
And they shall spring upH6779 as amongH996 the grassH2682, as willowsH6155 by the waterH4325 coursesH2988.
One shall sayH559, I am the LORD'SH3068; and another shall callH7121 himself by the nameH8034 of JacobH3290; and another shall subscribeH3789 with his handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and surnameH3655 himself by the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478.
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
NeitherG3366 yield yeG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93 unto sinG266: butG235 yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 unto GodG2316, asG5613 those that are aliveG2198 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 unto GodG2316. {instruments: Gr. arms, or, weapons}
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.
ForG1063 noneG3762 of usG2257 livethG2198 to himselfG1438, andG2532 no manG3762 diethG599 to himselfG1438.
ForG1063 whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198, we liveG2198 unto the LordG2962; and whetherG1437+G5037 we dieG599, we dieG599 unto the LordG2962: whetherG1437+G5037 we liveG2198 thereforeG3767, orG1437+G5037 dieG599, we areG2070 the Lord'sG2962.
ForG1063 toG1519 thisG5124 end ChristG5547 bothG2532 diedG599, andG2532 roseG450, andG2532 revivedG326, thatG2443 he might be LordG2961 bothG2532 of the deadG3498 andG2532 livingG2198.
