2 Corinthians 8:1--9:15

8:1

Moreover
<1161>_,

brethren
<80>_,

we do
<1107> (0)

you
<5213>

to wit
<1107> (5719)

of the grace
<5485>

of God
<2316>

bestowed
<1325> (5772)

on
<1722>

the churches
<1577>

of Macedonia
<3109>_;

8:2

How that
<3754>

in
<1722>

a great
<4183>

trial
<1382>

of affliction
<2347>

the abundance
<4050>

of their
<846>

joy
<5479>

and
<2532>

their
<846>

deep
<899>

poverty
<2596> <4432>

abounded
<4052> (5656)

unto
<1519>

the riches
<4149>

of their
<846>

liberality
<572>_.

{liberality: Gr. simplicity}

8:3

For
<3754>

to
<2596>

[their] power
<1411>_,

I bear record
<3140> (5719)_,

yea, and
<2532>

beyond
<5228>

[their] power
<1411>

[they were] willing of themselves
<830>_;

8:4

Praying
<1189> (5740)

us
<2257>

with
<3326>

much
<4183>

intreaty
<3874>

that we
<2248>

would receive
<1209> (5664)

the gift
<5485>_,

and
<2532>

[take upon us] the fellowship
<2842>

of the ministering
<1248>

to
<1519>

the saints
<40>_.

8:5

And
<2532>

[this they did], not
<3756>

as
<2531>

we hoped
<1679> (5656)_,

but
<235>

first
<4412>

gave
<1325> (5656)

their own selves
<1438>

to the Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

unto us
<2254>

by
<1223>

the will
<2307>

of God
<2316>_.

8:6

Insomuch
<1519>

that we
<2248>

desired
<3870> (5658)

Titus
<5103>_,

that
<2443>

as
<2531>

he had begun
<4278> (5662)_,

so
<3779>

he would
<2005> (0)

also
<2532>

finish
<2005> (5661)

in
<1519>

you
<5209>

the same
<5026>

grace
<5485>

also
<2532>_.

{grace: or, gift}

8:7

Therefore
<235>_,

as
<5618>

ye abound
<4052> (5719)

in
<1722>

every
<3956>

[thing, in] faith
<4102>_,

and
<2532>

utterance
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

knowledge
<1108>_,

and
<2532>

[in] all
<3956>

diligence
<4710>_,

and
<2532>

[in] your
<5216>

love
<26> <1537>

to
<1722>

us
<2254>_,

[see] that
<2443>

ye abound
<4052> (5725)

in
<1722>

this
<5026>

grace
<5485>

also
<2532>_.

8:8

I speak
<3004> (5719)

not
<3756>

by
<2596>

commandment
<2003>_,

but
<235>

by occasion
<1223>

of the forwardness
<4710>

of others
<2087>_,

and
<2532>

to prove
<1381> (5723)

the sincerity
<1103>

of your
<5212>

love
<26>_.

8:9

For
<1063>

ye know
<1097> (5719) (5720)

the grace
<5485>

of our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

that
<3754>_,

though he was
<5607> (5752)

rich
<4145>_,

yet for
<1223> (0)

your
<5209>

sakes
<1223>

he became poor
<4433> (5656)_,

that
<2443>

ye
<5210>

through his
<1565>

poverty
<4432>

might be rich
<4147> (5661)_.

8:10

And
<2532>

herein
<1722> <5129>

I give
<1325> (5719)

[my] advice
<1106>_:

for
<1063>

this
<5124>

is expedient
<4851> (5719)

for you
<5213>_,

who
<3748>

have begun before
<4278> (5662)_,

not
<3756>

only
<3440>

to do
<4160> (5658)_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

to be forward
<2309> (5721)

a year
<4070>

ago
<575>_.

{forward: Gr. willing}

8:11

Now
<3570> <1161>

therefore
<2532>

perform
<2005> (5657)

the doing
<4160> (5658)

[of it]; that
<3704>

as
<2509>

[there was] a readiness
<4288>

to will
<2309> (5721)_,

so
<3779>

[there may be] a performance
<2005> (5658)

also
<2532>

out of
<1537>

that which ye have
<2192> (5721)_.

8:12

For
<1063>

if there
<1487>

be first
<4295> (5736)

a willing mind
<4288>_,

[it is] accepted
<2144>

according to
<2526>

that
<1437>

a man
<5100>

hath
<2192> (5725)_,

[and] not
<3756>

according to that
<2526>

he hath
<2192> (5719)

not
<3756>_.

8:13

For
<1063>

[I mean] not
<3756>

that
<2443>

other men
<243>

be eased
<425>_,

and
<1161>

ye
<5213>

burdened
<2347>_:

8:14

But
<235>

by
<1537>

an equality
<2471>_,

[that] now
<3568>

at
<1722>

this time
<2540>

your
<5216>

abundance
<4051>

[may be a supply] for
<1519>

their
<1565>

want
<5303>_,

that
<2443>

their
<1565>

abundance
<4051>

also
<2532>

may be
<1096> (5638)

[a supply] for
<1519>

your
<5216>

want
<5303>_:

that
<3704>

there may be
<1096> (5638)

equality
<2471>_:

8:15

As
<2531>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

He that [had gathered
<3588>_]

much
<4183>

had
<4121> (0)

nothing
<3756>

over
<4121> (5656)_;

and
<2532>

he that [had gathered
<3588>_]

little
<3641>

had
<1641> (0)

no
<3756>

lack
<1641> (5656)_.

8:16

But
<1161>

thanks
<5485>

[be] to God
<2316>_,

which
<3588>

put
<1325> (5723)

the same
<846>

earnest care
<4710>

into
<1722>

the heart
<2588>

of Titus
<5103>

for
<5228>

you
<5216>_.

8:17

For
<3754>

indeed
<3303>

he accepted
<1209> (5662)

the exhortation
<3874>_;

but
<1161>

being
<5225> (5723)

more forward
<4707>_,

of his own accord
<830>

he went
<1831> (5627)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_.

8:18

And
<1161>

we have sent
<4842> (5656)

with
<3326>

him
<846>

the brother
<80>_,

whose
<3739>

praise
<1868>

[is] in
<1722>

the gospel
<2098>

throughout
<1223>

all
<3956>

the churches
<1577>_;

8:19

And
<1161>

not
<3756>

[that] only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

who was
<5500> (0)

also
<2532>

chosen
<5500> (5685)

of
<5259>

the churches
<1577>

to travel
<4898>

with us
<2257>

with
<4862>

this
<5026>

grace
<5485>_,

which
<3588>

is administered
<1247> (5746)

by
<5259>

us
<2257>

to
<4314>

the glory
<1391>

of the same
<846>

Lord
<2962>_,

and
<2532>

[declaration of] your
<5216>

ready mind
<4288>_:

{grace: or, gift}

8:20

Avoiding
<4724> (5734)

this
<5124>_,

that no
<3361>

man
<5100>

should blame
<3469> (5667)

us
<2248>

in
<1722>

this
<5026>

abundance
<100>

which
<3588>

is administered
<1247> (5746)

by
<5259>

us
<2257>_:

8:21

Providing
<4306> (5734)

for honest things
<2570>_,

not
<3756>

only
<3440>

in the sight
<1799>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

in the sight
<1799>

of men
<444>_.

8:22

And
<1161>

we have sent
<4842> (5656)

with them
<846>

our
<2257>

brother
<80>_,

whom
<3739>

we have
<1381> (0)

oftentimes
<4178>

proved
<1381> (5656) <5607> (5752)

diligent
<4705>

in
<1722>

many things
<4183>_,

but
<1161>

now
<3570>

much
<4183>

more diligent
<4707>_,

upon the great
<4183>

confidence
<4006>

which
<3588>

[I have] in
<1519>

you
<5209>_.

{I have: or, he hath}

8:23

Whether
<1535>

[any do enquire] of
<5228>

Titus
<5103>_,

[he is] my
<1699>

partner
<2844>

and
<2532>

fellowhelper
<4904>

concerning
<1519>

you
<5209>_:

or
<1535>

our
<2257>

brethren
<80>

[be enquired of, they are] the messengers
<652>

of the churches
<1577>_,

[and] the glory
<1391>

of Christ
<5547>_.

8:24

Wherefore
<3767>

shew ye
<1731> (5669)

to
<1519>

them
<846>_,

and
<2532>

before
<1519> <4383>

the churches
<1577>_,

the proof
<1732>

of your
<5216>

love
<26>_,

and
<2532>

of our
<2257>

boasting
<2746>

on
<5228> (0)

your
<5216>

behalf
<5228>_.

9:1

For
<1063>

as
<3303>

touching
<4012>

the ministering
<1248>

to
<1519>

the saints
<40>_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

superfluous
<4053>

for me
<3427>

to write
<1125> (5721)

to you
<5213>_:

9:2

For
<1063>

I know
<1492> (5758)

the forwardness of
<4288> (0)

your
<5216>

mind
<4288>_,

for which
<3739>

I boast
<2744> (5736)

of
<5228>

you
<5216>

to them of Macedonia
<3110>_,

that
<3754>

Achaia
<882>

was ready
<3903> (5769)

a year
<4070>

ago
<575>_;

and
<2532>

your
<5216>

zeal
<2205> <1537>

hath provoked
<2042> (5656)

very many
<4119>_.

9:3

Yet
<1161>

have I sent
<3992> (5656)

the brethren
<80>_,

lest
<3363>

our
<2257>

boasting
<2745>

of
<5228>

you
<5216>

should be in vain
<2758> (5686)

in
<1722>

this
<5129>

behalf
<3313>_;

that
<2443>_,

as
<2531>

I said
<3004> (5707)_,

ye may be
<5600> (5753)

ready
<3903> (5772)_:

9:4

Lest
<3381>

haply
<4458>

if
<1437>

they of Macedonia
<3110>

come
<2064> (5632)

with
<4862>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

find
<2147> (5627)

you
<5209>

unprepared
<532>_,

we
<2249>

(that
<3363> (0)

we say
<3004> (5725)

not
<3363>_,

ye
<5210>)

should be ashamed
<2617> (5686)

in
<1722>

this same
<5026>

confident
<5287>

boasting
<2746>_.

9:5

Therefore
<3767>

I thought
<2233> (5662)

it necessary
<316>

to exhort
<3870> (5658)

the brethren
<80>_,

that
<2443>

they would go before
<4281> (5632)

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

make up beforehand
<4294> (5661)

your
<5216>

bounty
<2129>_,

whereof ye had notice before
<4293> (5772)_,

that the same
<5026>

might be
<1511> (5750)

ready
<2092>_,

<3779>

as
<5613>

[a matter of] bounty
<2129>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3361>

as
<5618>

[of] covetousness
<4124>_.

{bounty: Gr. blessing} {whereof...: or, which hath been so much spoken of before}

9:6

But
<1161>

this
<5124>

[I say], He which soweth
<4687> (5723)

sparingly
<5340>

shall reap
<2325> (5692)

also
<2532>

sparingly
<5340>_;

and
<2532>

he which soweth
<4687> (5723)

bountifully
<1909> <2129>

shall reap
<2325> (5692)

also
<2532>

bountifully
<1909> <2129>_.

9:7

Every man
<1538>

according as
<2531>

he purposeth
<4255> (5736)

in his heart
<2588>_,

[so let him give]; not
<3361>

grudgingly
<1537> <3077>_,

or
<2228>

of
<1537>

necessity
<318>_:

for
<1063>

God
<2316>

loveth
<25> (5719)

a cheerful
<2431>

giver
<1395>_.

9:8

And
<1161>

God
<2316>

[is] able
<1415>

to make
<4052> (0)

all
<3956>

grace
<5485>

abound
<4052> (5658)

toward
<1519>

you
<5209>_;

that
<2443>

ye, always
<3842>

having
<2192> (5723)

all
<3956>

sufficiency
<841>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

[things], may abound
<4052> (5725)

to
<1519>

every
<3956>

good
<18>

work
<2041>_:

9:9

(As
<2531>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

He hath dispersed abroad
<4650> (5656)_;

he hath given
<1325> (5656)

to the poor
<3993>_:

his
<846>

righteousness
<1343>

remaineth
<3306> (5719)

for
<1519>

ever
<165>_.

9:10

Now
<1161>

he that ministereth
<2023> (5723)

seed
<4690>

to the sower
<4687> (5723)

both
<2532>

minister
<5524> (5659)

bread
<740>

for
<1519>

[your] food
<1035>_,

and
<2532>

multiply
<4129> (5659)

your
<5216>

seed sown
<4703>_,

and
<2532>

increase
<837> (5659)

the fruits
<1081>

of your
<5216>

righteousness
<1343>;)

9:11

Being enriched
<4148> (5746)

in
<1722>

every thing
<3956>

to
<1519>

all
<3956>

bountifulness
<572>_,

which
<3748>

causeth
<2716> (5736)

through
<1223>

us
<2257>

thanksgiving
<2169>

to God
<2316>_.

{bountifulness: or, liberality: Gr. simplicity}

9:12

For
<3754>

the administration
<1248>

of this
<5026>

service
<3009>

not
<3756>

only
<3440>

supplieth
<2076> (5748) <4322> (5723)

the want
<5303>

of the saints
<40>_,

but
<235>

is abundant
<4052> (5723)

also
<2532>

by
<1223>

many
<4183>

thanksgivings
<2169>

unto God
<2316>_;

9:13

Whiles by
<1223>

the experiment
<1382>

of this
<5026>

ministration
<1248>

they glorify
<1392> (5723)

God
<2316>

for
<1909>

your
<5216>

professed
<3671>

subjection
<5292>

unto
<1519>

the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_,

and
<2532>

for [your] liberal
<572>

distribution
<2842>

unto
<1519>

them
<846>_,

and
<2532>

unto
<1519>

all
<3956>

[men];

9:14

And
<2532>

by their
<846>

prayer
<1162>

for
<5228>

you
<5216>_,

which long after
<1971> (5723)

you
<5209>

for
<1223>

the exceeding
<5235> (5723)

grace
<5485>

of God
<2316>

in
<1909>

you
<5213>_.

9:15

<1161>@ Thanks
<5485>

[be] unto God
<2316>

for
<1909>

his
<846>

unspeakable
<411>

gift
<1431>_.
