2 Corinthians 8:11-19

11But nowG3570 finishG2005 1doingG4160 it alsoG2532, soG3704 thatG3704 justG2509 asG2509 there was the 2willingnessG4288 to desireG2309 it, soG3779 there may be alsoG2532 the completionG2005 of it by your abilityG2192. 12For ifG1487 the willingnessG4288 is presentG4295, it is acceptableG2144 3accordingG2526 toG2526 whatG2526 a person hasG2192, not accordingG2526 toG2526 whatG2526 he does not haveG2192. 13For this is not for the reliefG425 of othersG243 and for your hardshipG2347, but by wayG1537 of equalityG2471-- 14at thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 your abundanceG4051 will serve as assistance for 4their needG5303, soG2443 thatG2443 their abundanceG4051 alsoG2532 may 5serveG1096 asG1096 assistance for 6your needG5303, soG3704 thatG3704 there may be equalityG2471; 15as it is writtenG1125: “7The one who had gathered muchG4183 did not haveG4121 tooG4121 muchG4121, and the one who had gathered littleG3641 did not haveG1641 tooG1641 littleG1641.”

16But 8thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 who 9putsG1325 the sameG846 earnestnessG4710 inG5228 your behalfG5228 in the heartG2588 of 10TitusG5103. 17For he not onlyG3303 acceptedG1209 our 11appealG3874, but beingG5225 himselfG830 very earnestG4705, he has goneG1831 to you of his ownG830 accordG830. 18We have sentG4842 alongG4842 with him 12the brotherG80 whoseG3739 fameG1868 in the things of the 13gospelG2098 has spread throughG1223 14allG3956 the churchesG1577; 1915and not onlyG3440 that, but he has alsoG2532 been 16appointedG5500 by the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 withG4898 us in 17thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485, which is being administeredG1247 by us for the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 HimselfG846, and to show our 18readinessG4288,
