2 Corinthians 8:1-17

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>_.
