2 Corinthians 8:11-19

11NowG3570G1161G2532 finishG2005 the workG4160, so thatG3704 you may complete itG2005 with the sameG2509 eagerG4288 desireG2309G3779G2532, according toG1537 your meansG2192. 12ForG1063 ifG1487 theG3588 eagernessG4288 is thereG4295, the gift is acceptableG2144 according toG2526 whatG1437 one hasG2192, notG3756 according toG2526 what he does not haveG3756G2192.

13It is not our intention thatG2443 othersG243 may be relievedG425 while youG4771 are burdenedG2347, butG235 that there may be equalityG2471. 14AtG1722 theG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540, yourG4771 surplusG4051 will meetG1519 theirG1565 needG5303, so thatG2443 in turnG2532 theirG1565 surplusG4051 willG1096 meetG1519 yourG4771 needG5303. This wayG3704 there will beG1096 equalityG2471. 15AsG2531 it is writtenG1125:

“He whoG3588 gathered muchG4183 had no excessG3756G4121,andG2532 he whoG3588 gathered littleG3641 had no shortfallG3756G1641.”1

16ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whoG3588 putG1325 intoG1722 theG3588 heartG2588 of TitusG5103 theG3588 sameG846 devotionG4710 I have forG5228 youG4771. 17ForG3754 not onlyG3303 did he welcomeG1209 our appealG3874, butG1161 heG5225 is eagerlyG4705 comingG1831 toG4314 youG4771 of his own volitionG830.

18Along withG3326 Titus we are sendingG4842 theG3588 brotherG80 whoG3739 is praisedG1868 byG1223 allG3956 theG3588 churchesG1577 for his work inG1722 theG3588 gospelG2098. 19More than thatG2532G1161G3756G3440G235, this brother was chosenG5500 byG5259 theG3588 churchesG1577 to accompanyG4898 usG1473 withG4862 theG3588 gracious offeringG54852 weG1473 administerG1247 toG4314 honorG1391 theG3588 LordG2962 HimselfG846 andG2532 to show ourG1473 eagernessG4288 to help.
