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.

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.
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they bringH3947 me an offeringH8641: of every manH376 that giveth it willinglyH5068 with his heartH3820 ye shall takeH3947 my offeringH8641. {bring me: Heb. take for me} {offering: or, heave offering}
TakeH3947 ye from among you an offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068: whosoeverH3605 is of a willingH5081 heartH3820, let him bringH935 it, an offeringH8641 of the LORDH3068; goldH2091, and silverH3701, and brassH5178,
And they cameH935, every oneH376 whoseH834 heartH3820 stirred him upH5375, and every one whom his spiritH7307 made willingH5068, and they broughtH935 the LORD'SH3068 offeringH8641 to the workH4399 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and for all his serviceH5656, and for the holyH6944 garmentsH899.
And they cameH935, bothH5921 menH582 and womenH802, as many asH3605 were willingH5081 heartedH3820, and broughtH935 braceletsH2397, and earringsH5141, and ringsH2885, and tabletsH3558, all jewelsH3627 of goldH2091: and every manH376 that offeredH5130 offered an offeringH8573 of goldH2091 unto the LORDH3068.
The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 broughtH935 a willing offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068, every manH376 and womanH802, whoseH834 heartH3820 made them willingH5068 to bringH935 for all manner of workH4399, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to be madeH6213 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
Moreover, because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, I haveH3426 of mine own proper goodH5459, of goldH2091 and silverH3701, which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and aboveH4605 all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004,
Even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, of the goldH2091 of OphirH211, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silverH3701, to overlayH2902 the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004 withal:
The goldH2091 for things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificersH2796. And who then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068? {consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}
Then the chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 and princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulersH8269 of the king'sH4428 workH4399, offered willinglyH5068,
And gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and ten thousandH7239 dramsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brassH5178 eighteenH8083+H7239 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and one hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of ironH1270.
And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649.
Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offered willinglyH5068, because with perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offered willinglyH5068 to the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 also rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.
Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own.
I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triestH974 the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH7521 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these things: and now have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, which are presentH4672 here, to offer willinglyH5068 unto thee. {present: Heb. found}
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee: {prepare: or, stablish}
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thine heartH3824:
The desireH8378 of a manH120 is his kindnessH2617: and a poor manH7326 is betterH2896 thanH376 a liarH3577.
AndG2532 there cameG2064 a certainG3391 poorG4434 widowG5503, and she threw inG906 twoG1417 mitesG3016, which makeG3603 a farthingG2835. {mites: it is the seventh part of one piece of that brass money}
AndG2532 he calledG4341 unto him hisG846 disciplesG3101, and saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 thisG3778 poorG4434 widowG5503 hath castG906 moreG4119 inG906, than allG3956 they which have castG906 intoG1519 the treasuryG1049:
ForG1063 allG3956 they did cast inG906 ofG1537 theirG846 abundanceG4052; butG1161 sheG3778+G846 ofG1537 herG846 wantG5304 did cast inG906 allG3956 thatG3745 she hadG2192, even allG3650 herG846 livingG979.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 withG3326 youG1438 alwaysG3842, andG2532 whensoeverG3752 ye willG2309 ye mayG1410 doG4160 themG846 goodG2095: butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
She hath doneG4160 whatG3739 sheG3778+G846 couldG2192: she is come aforehandG4301 to anointG3462 myG3450 bodyG4983 toG1519 the buryingG1780.
AndG2532 he turnedG4762 toG4314 the womanG1135, and saidG5346 unto SimonG4613, Seest thouG991 thisG5026 womanG1135? I enteredG1525 intoG1519 thineG4675 houseG3614, thou gavest meG1325 noG3756 waterG5204 forG1909 myG3450 feetG4228: butG1161 sheG3778+G846 hath washedG1026 myG3450 feetG4228 with tearsG1144, andG2532 wipedG1591 them with the hairsG2359 of herG846 headG2776.
Thou gavestG1325 meG3427 noG3756 kissG5370: butG1161 this womanG3778+G846 sinceG575 the timeG3739 I came inG1525 hathG1257 notG3756 ceasedG1257 to kissG2705 myG3450 feetG4228.
MyG3450 headG2776 with oilG1637 thou didstG218 notG3756 anointG218: butG1161 this womanG3778+G846 hath anointedG218 myG3450 feetG4228 with ointmentG3464.
AndG1161 thatG1565 servantG1401, whichG3588 knewG1097 hisG1438 lord'sG2962 willG2307, andG2532 preparedG2090 notG3361 himself, neitherG3366 didG4160 accordingG4314 to hisG846 willG2307, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes.
ButG1161 he that knewG1097 notG3361, andG1161 did commitG4160 things worthyG514 of stripesG4127, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. ForG1161 unto whomsoeverG3739+G3956 muchG4183 is givenG1325, ofG3844 himG846 shall be muchG4183 requiredG2212: andG2532 to whom menG3739 have committedG3908 muchG4183, of himG846 they will askG154 the moreG4055.
He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183.
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.
