2 Corinthians 8:1-9
1MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, weG1107 make knownG1107 toG1722 youG4771 theG3588 graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316 bestowedG1325 uponG1722 the AssembliesG3588G1577 of MacedoniaG3588G3109; 2How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG3588G4050 of theirG846 joyG3588G5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG3588G4149 of theirG846 liberalityG3588G572. 3ForG3754 toG2596 their powerG1411, I bear recordG3140, yea, andG2532 beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willing of themselvesG830; 4PrayingG1189 usG1473 withG3326 muchG4183 intreatyG3874 that weG1473 would receiveG1209 the giftG3588G5485, andG2532 take upon us the fellowshipG3588G2842 of the ministeringG3588G1248 toG1519 the saintsG40. 5AndG2532 this they did, notG3756 asG2531 we hopedG1679, butG235 firstG4412 gaveG1325 their own selvesG1438 to the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 unto usG1473 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316. 6
InsomuchG1519 thatG3870 weG1473 desiredG3870 TitusG5103, thatG2443 asG2531 he had begunG4278, soG3779 he would alsoG2532 finishG2005 inG1519 youG4771 the sameG3778 graceG3588G5485 alsoG2532. 7ThereforeG235, asG5618 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 everyG3956 thing, in faithG4102, andG2532 utteranceG3056, andG2532 knowledgeG1108, andG2532 in allG3956 diligenceG4710, andG2532 in yourG4771 loveG26 toG1722 usG1473, see thatG2443 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 thisG3778 graceG3588G5485 alsoG2532. 8I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26. 9
ForG1063 ye knowG1097 the graceG3588G5485 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG3754, though he wasG1510 richG4145, yet forG1223 your sakesG4771 he became poorG4433, thatG2443 yeG4771 through hisG1565 povertyG4432 might be richG4147.
