2 Corinthians 8:11-19

11But nowG3570 finishG2005 1doingG4160 it alsoG2532, soG3779 that justG2509 as there was the 2readinessG4288 to desireG2309 it, soG3779 there may be alsoG2532 the completionG2005 of it by your abilityG2192. 12For ifG1487 the readinessG4288 is presentG4295, it is acceptableG2144 3accordingG2526 to what a person hasG2192, not accordingG2526 to what he does not haveG2192. 13For this is not for the easeG425 of othersG243 and for your afflictionG2347, but by wayG1537 of equalityG2471-- 14at thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 your abundanceG4051 being a supply for 4their needG5303, soG2443 that their abundanceG4051 alsoG2532 may becomeG1096 a supply for 5your needG5303, that there may be equalityG2471; 15as it is writtenG1125, “6He who gathered muchG4183 did not haveG4121 tooG4121 muchG4121, and he who gathered littleG3641 hadG1641 noG3756 lackG1641.”

16But 7thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 who 8putsG1325 the sameG846 earnestnessG4710 on your behalfG5228 in the heartG2588 of 9TitusG5103. 17For he not onlyG3303 acceptedG1209 our 10appealG3874, but beingG5225 himselfG830 very earnestG4705, he has goneG1831 to you of his ownG830 accordG830. 18We have sentG4842 alongG4842 with him 11the brotherG80 whoseG3739 fameG1868 in the things of the 12gospelG2098 has spread throughG1223 13allG3956 the churchesG1577; 1914and not onlyG3440 this, but he has alsoG2532 been 15appointedG5500 by the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with us in 16thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485, which is being administeredG1247 by us for the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 HimselfG846, and to show our 17readinessG4288,
