SoG5620 that yeG5209 wereG1096 ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 that believeG4100 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882.
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.
ForG1063 asG3303 touchingG4012 the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40, it isG2076 superfluousG4053 for meG3427 to writeG1125 to youG5213:
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.
YetG1161 have I sentG3992 the brethrenG80, lestG3363 ourG2257 boastingG2745 ofG5228 youG5216 should be in vainG2758 inG1722 thisG5129 behalfG3313; thatG2443, asG2531 I saidG3004, ye may beG5600 readyG3903:
LestG3381 haplyG4458 ifG1437 they of MacedoniaG3110 comeG2064 withG4862 meG1698, andG2532 findG2147 youG5209 unpreparedG532, weG2249 (thatG3363 we sayG3004 notG3363, yeG5210) should be ashamedG2617 inG1722 this sameG5026 confidentG5287 boastingG2746.
ThereforeG3767 I thoughtG2233 it necessaryG316 to exhortG3870 the brethrenG80, thatG2443 they would go beforeG4281 untoG1519 youG5209, andG2532 make up beforehandG4294 yourG5216 bountyG2129, whereof ye had notice beforeG4293, that the sameG5026 might beG1511 readyG2092+G3779, asG5613 a matter of bountyG2129, andG2532 notG3361 asG5618 of covetousnessG4124. {bounty: Gr. blessing} {whereof…: or, which hath been so much spoken of before}
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, andG2532 TimothyG5095 our brotherG80, unto the churchG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 isG5607 atG1722 CorinthG2882, withG4862 allG3956 the saintsG40 whichG3588 areG5607 inG1722 allG3650 AchaiaG882:
We give thanksG2168 to GodG2316 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG5216 allG3956, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 ourG2257 prayersG4335;
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
AndG2532 yeG5210 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG2257, andG2532 of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
Stand fastG4739 thereforeG3767 in the libertyG1657 wherewithG3739 ChristG5547 hath madeG1659 usG2248 freeG1659, andG2532 beG1758 notG3361 entangledG1758 againG3825 with the yokeG2218 of bondageG1397.
ForbearingG430 one anotherG240, andG2532 forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, ifG1437 any manG5100 haveG2192 a quarrelG3437 againstG4314 anyG5100: even asG2531+G2532 ChristG5547 forgaveG5483 youG5213, soG3779 alsoG2532 do yeG5210. {quarrel: or, complaint}
