2 Corinthians 8:1-9

1MoreoverG1161, brethrenG80, we make knownG1107 to youG5213 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 bestowedG1325 onG1722 the churchesG1577 of MacedoniaG3109; 2ThatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596G4432 aboundedG4052 toG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572.1 3ForG3754 toG2596 their powerG1411, I bear witnessG3140, andG2532 even beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willing of themselvesG830; 4BeggingG1189 usG2257 withG3326 muchG4183 entreatyG3874 that weG2248 would receiveG1209 the giftG5485, andG2532 take upon us the fellowshipG2842 of the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40. 5AndG2532 this they did, notG3756 asG2531 we hopedG1679, butG235 firstG4412 gaveG1325 their own selvesG1438 to the LordG2962, andG2532 to usG2254 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316. 6SoG1519 that weG2248 urgedG3870 TitusG5103, thatG2443 asG2531 he had begunG4278, soG3779 he wouldG2005 alsoG2532 finishG2005 inG1519 youG5209 the sameG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532.2

7ThereforeG235, asG5618 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 everyG3956 thing, in faithG4102, andG2532 utteranceG3056, andG2532 knowledgeG1108, andG2532 in allG3956 diligenceG4710, andG2532 in yourG5216 loveG26G1537 toG1722 usG2254, see thatG2443 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 thisG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532. 8I speakG3004 notG3756 byG2596 commandmentG2003, butG235 by occasionG1223 of the diligenceG4710 of othersG2087, andG2532 to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 loveG26. 9ForG1063 ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG3754, though he wasG5607 richG4145, yet forG1223 yourG5209 sakesG1223 he became poorG4433, thatG2443 yeG5210 through hisG1565 povertyG4432 might be richG4147.
