King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Moreover,[G1161] brethren,[G80] we do you to wit[G1107] [G5213] of the[G3588] grace[G5485] of God[G2316] bestowed[G1325] on[G1722] the[G3588] churches[G1577] of Macedonia;[G3109]

2. How that[G3754] in[G1722] a great[G4183] trial[G1382] of affliction[G2347] the[G3588] abundance[G4050] of their[G846] joy[G5479] and[G2532] their[G846] deep[G899] poverty[G4432] abounded[G4052] unto[G1519] the[G3588] riches[G4149] of their[G846] liberality.[G572]

3. For[G3754] to[G2596] their power,[G1411] I bear record,[G3140] yea, and[G2532] beyond[G5228] their power[G1411] they were willing of themselves;[G830]

4. Praying[G1189] us[G2257] with[G3326] much[G4183] entreaty[G3874] that we[G2248] would receive[G1209] the[G3588] gift,[G5485] and[G2532] take upon us the[G3588] fellowship[G2842] of the[G3588] ministering[G1248] to[G1519] the[G3588] saints.[G40]

5. And[G2532] this they did, not[G3756] as[G2531] we hoped,[G1679] but[G235] first[G4412] gave[G1325] their own selves[G1438] to the[G3588] Lord,[G2962] and[G2532] unto us[G2254] by[G1223] the will[G2307] of God.[G2316]

6. Insomuch that we[G2248] desired[G3870] Titus,[G5103] that[G2443] as[G2531] he had begun,[G4278] so[G3779] he would also[G2532] finish[G2005] in[G1519] you[G5209] the[G3588] same[G5026] grace[G5485] also.[G2532]

7. Therefore,[G235] as[G5618] ye abound[G4052] in[G1722] every[G3956] thing, in faith,[G4102] and[G2532] utterance,[G3056] and[G2532] knowledge,[G1108] and[G2532] in all[G3956] diligence,[G4710] and[G2532] in[G1537] your[G5216] love[G26] to[G1722] us,[G2254] see that[G2443] ye abound[G4052] in[G1722] this[G5026] grace[G5485] also.[G2532]

8. I speak[G3004] not[G3756] by[G2596] commandment,[G2003] but[G235] by occasion of[G1223] the[G3588] forwardness[G4710] of others,[G2087] and[G2532] to prove[G1381] the[G3588] sincerity[G1103] of your[G5212] love.[G26]

9. For[G1063] ye know[G1097] the[G3588] grace[G5485] of our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ,[G5547] that,[G3754] though he was[G5607] rich,[G4145] yet for your sakes[G1223] [G5209] he became poor,[G4433] that[G2443] ye[G5210] through his[G1565] poverty[G4432] might be rich.[G4147]

10. And[G2532] herein[G1722] [G5129] I give[G1325] my advice:[G1106] for[G1063] this[G5124] is expedient[G4851] for you,[G5213] who[G3748] have begun before,[G4278] not[G3756] only[G3440] to do,[G4160] but[G235] also[G2532] to be forward[G2309] a year ago.[G575] [G4070]

11. [G1161] Now[G3570] therefore[G2532] perform[G2005] the[G3588] doing[G4160] of it; that[G3704] as[G2509] there was a readiness[G4288] to will,[G2309] so[G3779] there may be a performance[G2005] also[G2532] out of[G1537] that which ye have.[G2192]

12. For[G1063] if[G1487] there be first[G4295] a willing mind,[G4288] it is accepted[G2144] according to that[G2526] a man[G5100] hath,[G2192] [G1437] and not[G3756] according to that[G2526] he hath[G2192] not.[G3756]

13. For[G1063] I mean not[G3756] that[G2443] other men[G243] be eased,[G425] and[G1161] ye[G5213] burdened: [G2347]

14. But[G235] by[G1537] an equality,[G2471] that now[G3568] at[G1722] this time[G2540] your[G5216] abundance[G4051] may be a supply for[G1519] their[G1565] want,[G5303] that[G2443] their[G1565] abundance[G4051] also[G2532] may be[G1096] a supply for[G1519] your[G5216] want:[G5303] that[G3704] there may be[G1096] equality: [G2471]

15. As[G2531] it is written,[G1125] He[G3588] that had gathered much[G4183] had nothing over;[G4121] [G3756] and[G2532] he[G3588] that had gathered little[G3641] had no lack.[G1641] [G3756]

16. But[G1161] thanks[G5485] be to God,[G2316] which put[G1325] the[G3588] same[G846] earnest care[G4710] into[G1722] the[G3588] heart[G2588] of Titus[G5103] for[G5228] you.[G5216]

17. For[G3754] indeed[G3303] he accepted[G1209] the[G3588] exhortation;[G3874] but[G1161] being[G5225] more forward,[G4707] of his own accord[G830] he went[G1831] unto[G4314] you.[G5209]

18. And[G1161] we have sent[G4842] with[G3326] him[G846] the[G3588] brother,[G80] whose[G3739] praise[G1868] is in[G1722] the[G3588] gospel[G2098] throughout[G1223] all[G3956] the[G3588] churches;[G1577]

19. And[G1161] not[G3756] that only,[G3440] but[G235] who was also[G2532] chosen[G5500] of[G5259] the[G3588] churches[G1577] to travel with[G4898] us[G2257] with[G4862] this[G5026] grace,[G5485] which is administered[G1247] by[G5259] us[G2257] to[G4314] the[G3588] glory[G1391] of the[G3588] same[G846] Lord,[G2962] and[G2532] declaration of your[G5216] ready mind: [G4288]

20. Avoiding[G4724] this,[G5124] that no[G3361] man[G5100] should blame[G3469] us[G2248] in[G1722] this[G5026] abundance[G100] which is administered[G1247] by[G5259] us: [G2257]

21. Providing for[G4306] honest things,[G2570] not[G3756] only[G3440] in the sight[G1799] of the Lord,[G2962] but[G235] also[G2532] in the sight[G1799] of men.[G444]

22. And[G1161] we have sent with[G4842] them[G846] our[G2257] brother,[G80] whom[G3739] we have oftentimes[G4178] proved[G1381] [G5607] diligent[G4705] in[G1722] many things,[G4183] but[G1161] now[G3570] much[G4183] more diligent,[G4706] upon the great[G4183] confidence[G4006] which[G3588] I have in[G1519] you.[G5209]

23. Whether[G1535] any do inquire of[G5228] Titus,[G5103] he is my[G1699] partner[G2844] and[G2532] fellowhelper[G4904] concerning[G1519] you:[G5209] or[G1535] our[G2257] brethren[G80] be inquired of, they are the messengers[G652] of the churches,[G1577] and the glory[G1391] of Christ.[G5547]

24. Wherefore[G3767] show[G1731] ye to[G1519] them,[G846] and[G2532] before[G1519] [G4383] the[G3588] churches,[G1577] the[G3588] proof[G1732] of your[G5216] love,[G26] and[G2532] of our[G2257] boasting[G2746] on your behalf.[G5228] [G5216]
