2 Corinthians 8:1 (KJVP) King James Version with Strong Number

1 Moreover G1161 CONJ , brethren G80 N-VPM , we do you to wit G1107 V-PAI-1P of G3588 T-ASF the G3588 T-ASF grace G5485 N-ASF of G3588 T-ASF God G2316 N-GSM bestowed G1325 V-RPP-ASF on G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DPF churches G1577 N-DPF of Macedonia G3109 N-GSF ;
2 How that G3754 CONJ in G1722 PREP a great G4183 A-DSF trial G1382 N-DSF of affliction G2347 N-GSF the G3588 T-NSF abundance G4050 N-NSF of G3588 T-GSF their G3588 T-GSF joy G5479 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ their G846 P-GPM deep G899 N-GSN poverty G4432 N-NSF abounded G4052 V-AAI-3S unto G1519 PREP the G3588 T-ASM riches G4149 N-ASM of G3588 T-GSF their G3588 T-GSF liberality G572 N-GSF .
3 For G3754 CONJ to G2596 PREP their power G1411 N-ASF , I bear record G3140 V-PAI-1S , yea , and G2532 CONJ beyond G5228 PREP their power G1411 N-ASF they were willing of themselves G830 A-NPM ;
4 Praying G1189 V-PNP-NPM us G2257 P-1GP with G3326 PREP much G4183 A-GSF entreaty G3874 N-GSF that we G2248 would receive G1209 the G3588 T-ASF gift G5485 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ take upon us G3588 T-ASF the G3588 T-ASF fellowship G2842 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF ministering G1248 N-GSF to G1519 PREP the G3588 T-APM saints G40 A-APM .
5 And G2532 CONJ this they did , not G3756 PRT-N as G2531 ADV we hoped G1679 V-AAI-1P , but G235 CONJ first G4412 ADV gave G1325 V-AAI-3P their own selves G1438 F-3APM to the G3588 T-DSM Lord G2962 N-DSM , and G2532 CONJ unto us G2254 P-1DP by G1223 PREP the will G2307 N-GSN of God G2316 N-GSM .
6 Insomuch that G3588 T-ASN we G3588 T-ASN desired G3870 V-AAN Titus G5103 N-ASM , that G2443 CONJ as G2531 ADV he had begun G4278 V-ADI-3S , so G3779 ADV he would also G2532 CONJ finish G2005 V-AAS-3S in G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP the G3588 T-ASN same G3588 T-ASF grace G5485 N-ASF also G2532 CONJ .
7 Therefore G235 CONJ , as G5618 ADV ye abound G4052 V-PAI-2P in G1722 PREP every G3956 A-DSN thing , in faith G4102 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ utterance G3056 N-DSM , and G2532 CONJ knowledge G1108 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ in all G3956 A-DSF diligence G4710 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ in PREP your G1537 PREP love G26 N-DSF to G1722 PREP us G2254 P-1DP , see that G2443 CONJ ye abound G4052 V-PAS-2P in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSF grace G5485 N-DSF also G2532 CONJ .
8 I speak G3004 V-PAI-1S not G3756 PRT-N by G2596 PREP commandment G2003 N-ASF , but G235 CONJ by occasion of G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSF forwardness G4710 N-GSF of others G2087 A-GPM , and G2532 CONJ to prove G1381 V-PAP-NSM the G3588 T-ASN sincerity G1103 A-ASN of your G5212 S-2GPF love G26 N-GSF .
9 For G1063 CONJ ye know G1097 V-PAI-2P the G3588 T-ASF grace G5485 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSM our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM , that G3754 CONJ , though he was G5607 V-PXP-NSM rich G4145 A-NSM , yet for your sakes G1223 PREP he became poor G4433 V-AAI-3S , that G2443 CONJ ye G3588 T-DSF through his G1565 D-GSM poverty G4432 N-DSF might be rich G4147 V-AAS-2P .
10 And G2532 CONJ herein G1722 PREP I give G1325 V-PAI-1S my advice G1106 N-ASF : for G1063 CONJ this G5124 D-NSN is expedient G4851 V-PAI-3S for you G5213 P-2DP , who G3748 R-NPM have begun before G4278 V-ADI-2P , not G3756 PRT-N only G3440 ADV to do G4160 V-AAN , but G235 CONJ also G2532 CONJ to be forward G2309 V-PAN a year ago G575 PREP .
11 Now G3570 ADV therefore G2532 CONJ perform G2005 V-AAM-2P the G3588 T-ASN doing G4160 V-AAN of it ; that G3704 ADV as G2509 ADV there was a readiness G4288 N-NSF to will G2309 V-PAN , so G3779 ADV there may be a performance G2005 V-AAN also G2532 CONJ out of G3588 T-GSM that which ye have G2192 V-PAN .
12 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND there be first G4295 V-PNI-3S a willing mind G4288 N-NSF , it is accepted G2144 A-NSM according to that G2526 ADV a man G5100 X-NSM hath V-PAS-3S , and not G3756 PRT-N according to that G2526 ADV he hath G2192 V-PAS-3S not G3756 PRT-N .
13 For G1063 CONJ I mean not G3756 PRT-N that G2443 CONJ other men G243 A-DPM be eased G425 N-NSF , and G1161 CONJ ye G5213 P-2DP burdened G2347 N-NSF :
14 But G235 by G1537 an equality G2471 N-NSF , that now G3568 at G1722 this G3588 T-ASN time G2540 your G5216 P-2GP abundance G4051 N-NSN may be a supply for G3588 T-NSN their G1565 D-GPM want G5303 N-ASN , that G3588 T-NSN their G1565 D-GPM abundance G4051 N-NSN also G2532 CONJ may be G1096 V-2ADS-3S a supply for G3588 T-ASN your G5216 P-2GP want G5303 N-ASN : that G3704 ADV there may be G1096 V-2ADS-3S equality G2471 N-NSF :
15 As G2531 ADV it is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , He G3588 T-ASN that had gathered much G4183 A-ASN had nothing over G4121 V-AAI-3S ; and G2532 CONJ he G3588 T-ASN that had gathered little G3641 A-ASN had no lack G1641 V-AAI-3S .
16 But G1161 CONJ thanks G5485 N-NSF be to God G2316 N-DSM , which put G1325 V-PAP-DSM the G3588 T-ASF same G846 P-ASF earnest care G4710 N-ASF into G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF heart G2588 N-DSF of Titus G5103 N-GSM for G5228 PREP you G5216 P-2GP .
17 For G3588 T-ASF indeed G3303 PRT he accepted G1209 V-ADI-3S the G3588 T-ASF exhortation G3874 N-ASF ; but G1161 CONJ being G5225 V-PAP-NSM more forward G4707 , of his own accord G830 A-NSM he went G1831 V-2AAI-3S unto G4314 PREP you G5209 P-2AP .
18 And G1161 CONJ we have sent G4842 V-AAI-1P with G3326 PREP him G846 P-GSM the G3588 T-ASM brother G80 N-ASM , whose G3739 R-GSM praise G1868 N-NSM is in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSN gospel G2098 N-DSN throughout G1223 PREP all G3956 A-GPF the G3588 T-GPF churches G1577 N-GPF ;
19 And G1161 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N that only G3440 ADV , but G235 CONJ who was also G2532 CONJ chosen G5500 V-APP-NSM of G5259 PREP the G3588 T-GPF churches G1577 N-GPF to travel with G4898 N-NSM us G2257 P-1GP with G4862 PREP this G3588 T-DSF grace G5485 N-DSF , which is administered G1247 V-PPP-DSF by G5259 PREP us G2257 P-1GP to G4314 PREP the G3588 T-DSF glory G1391 N-ASF of G3588 T-ASF the G3588 T-ASF same G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ declaration of your G5216 ready mind G4288 N-ASF :
20 Avoiding G4724 V-PMP-NPM this G5124 D-ASN , that no G3361 PRT-N man G5100 X-NSM should blame G3469 V-ADS-3S us G2248 P-1AP in G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSF abundance G100 N-DSF which is administered G1247 V-PPP-DSF by G5259 PREP us G2257 P-1GP :
21 Providing for G4306 V-PMP-NPM honest things G2570 A-APN , not G3756 PRT-N only G3440 ADV in the sight G1799 ADV of the Lord G2962 N-GSM , but G235 CONJ also G2532 CONJ in the sight G1799 ADV of men G444 N-GPM .
22 And G1161 CONJ we have sent with G4842 V-AAI-1P them G846 P-DPM our G3588 T-ASM brother G80 N-ASM , whom G3739 R-ASM we have oftentimes G4178 ADV proved G1381 V-AAI-1P diligent G4705 A-ASM in G1722 PREP many things G4183 A-DPN , but G1161 CONJ now G3570 ADV much G4183 A-ASN more diligent G4706 ADV , upon the great G4183 A-DSF confidence G4006 N-DSF which G3588 T-DSF I have in G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP .
23 Whether G1535 CONJ any do inquire of G5228 PREP Titus G5103 N-GSM , he is my G1699 S-1NSM partner G2844 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ fellowhelper G4904 A-NSM concerning G1519 PREP you G5209 P-2AP : or G1535 CONJ our G2257 P-1GP brethren G80 N-NPM be inquired of , they are the messengers G652 N-NPM of the churches G1577 N-GPF , and the glory G1391 N-NSF of Christ G5547 N-GSM .
24 Wherefore G3767 CONJ show G1731 V-AMM-2P ye to G1519 PREP them G846 P-APM , and G2532 CONJ before G1519 PREP the G3588 T-GPF churches G1577 N-GPF , the G3588 T-GSF proof G1732 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSF your G3588 T-GSF love G26 N-GSF , and G2532 CONJ of our G2257 P-1GP boasting G2746 N-GSF on your behalf G5228 PREP .
1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19 And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
