2 Corinthians 8:13-24
13For I say not this that othersG243 may be eased and ye distressed; 14but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this presentG3568 timeG2540 for their want, that their abundance alsoG2532 may becomeG1096 a supply for your want; that there may be equality: 15as it is writtenG1125, He that gathered muchG4183 had nothing over; and he that gathered littleG3641 had no lack.
16But thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, who putteth the sameG846 earnest care for you into the heartG2588 of TitusG5103. 17For he acceptedG1209 indeedG3303 our exhortationG3874; but being himself very earnestG4705, he wentG1831 forthG1831 unto you of his own accord. 18And we have sent together with him the brotherG80 whose praiseG1868 in the gospelG2098 is spread through all the churchesG1577; 19and not onlyG3440 so, but who was alsoG2532 appointed by the churchesG1577 to travel with us in the matter of this graceG5485, which is ministeredG1247 by us to the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962, and to show our readinessG4288: 20avoiding this, that any manG3778 should blame us in the matter of this bounty which is ministeredG1247 by us: 21for we take thought for things honorable, not onlyG3440 in the sight of the LordG2962, but alsoG2532 in the sight of menG444. 22And we have sent with them our brotherG80, whom we have manyG4183 times proved earnestG4705 in manyG4183 thingsG4183, but nowG1161 muchG4183 moreG4183 earnestG4705, by reason of the greatG4183 confidenceG4006 which he hath in you. 23Whether any inquire about TitusG5103, he is my partnerG2844 and my fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, they are the messengersG652 of the churchesG1577, they are the gloryG1391 of ChristG5547. 24ShowG1731 ye thereforeG3767 unto them in the faceG4383 of the churchesG1577 the proof of your loveG26, and of our glorying on your behalfG5228.
