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.

NowG1161 concerningG4012 virginsG3933 I haveG2192 noG3756 commandmentG2003 of the LordG2962: yetG1161 I giveG1325 my judgmentG1106, asG5613 one that hath obtained mercyG1653 ofG5259 the LordG2962 to beG1511 faithfulG4103.
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26.
ButG1161 she isG2076 happierG3107 ifG1437 sheG3306 soG3779 abideG3306, afterG2596 myG1699 judgmentG1106: andG1161 I thinkG1380 alsoG2504 that I haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316.
He that hath pityH2603 upon the poorH1800 lendethH3867 unto the LORDH3068; and that which he hath givenH1576 will he pay him againH7999. {that which…: or, his deed}
ForG1063 I knowG1492 the forwardness ofG4288 yourG5216 mindG4288, for whichG3739 I boastG2744 ofG5228 youG5216 to them of MacedoniaG3110, thatG3754 AchaiaG882 was readyG3903 a yearG4070 agoG575; andG2532 yourG5216 zealG2205+G1537 hath provokedG2042 very manyG4119.
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.
NorG3761 considerG1260 thatG3754 it is expedientG4851 for usG2254, thatG2443 oneG1520 manG444 should dieG599 forG5228 the peopleG2992, andG2532 that the wholeG3650 nationG1484 perishG622 notG3361.
NeverthelessG235 IG1473 tellG3004 youG5213 the truthG225; It is expedientG4851 for youG5213 thatG2443 IG1473 go awayG565: forG1063 ifG3362 I goG565 notG3362 awayG565, the ComforterG3875 willG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209; butG1161 ifG1437 I departG4198, I will sendG3992 himG846 untoG4314 youG5209.
NowG1161 CaiaphasG2533 was heG2258, whichG3588 gave counselG4823 to the JewsG2453, thatG3754 it was expedientG4851 that oneG1520 manG444 should dieG622 forG5228 the peopleG2992.
All thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 unto meG3427, butG235 all thingsG3956 areG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851: all thingsG3956 are lawfulG1832 for meG3427, butG235 IG1473 willG1850 notG3756 be brought under the powerG1850 ofG5259 anyG5100. {expedient: or, profitable}

NotG3756 becauseG3754 I desireG1934 a giftG1390: butG235 I desireG1934 fruitG2590 that may aboundG4121 toG1519 yourG5216 accountG3056.
That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG1511+G2130, willing to communicateG2843; {willing…: or, sociable}
