1
Now,
brethren,
we wish to make known
to you the grace
of God
which has been given
in the churches
of Macedonia,
2
that in a great
ordeal
of affliction
their abundance
of joy
and their deep
poverty
overflowed
in the wealth
of their liberality.
3
For I testify
that according
to
their ability,
and beyond
their ability,
they gave of their own accord,
4
begging
us with much
urging
for the favor
of participation
in the support
of the saints,
5
and this, not as we had expected,
but they first
gave
themselves
to the Lord
and to us by the will
of God.
6
So
we urged
Titus
that as he had previously made a beginning,
so
he would al
so
complete
in you this
gracious work
as well.
7
But just
as you abound
in everything,
in faith
and utterance
and knowledge
and in all
earnestness
and in the love
we inspired
in you, see that you abound
in this
gracious work
also.
8
I am not speaking
this as a command,
but as proving
through
the earnestness
of others
the sincerity
of your love
also.
9
For you know
the grace
of our Lord
Jesus
Christ,
that though He was rich,
yet for your sake
He became
poor,
so
that you through His poverty
might become rich.
10
I give
my opinion
in this matter, for this
is to your advantage,
who
were the first to begin
a year ago
not only
to do
this, but also
to desire
to do
it.
11
But now
finish
doing
it al
so
,
so
that just
as there was the readiness
to desire
it,
so
there may be al
so
the completion
of it by your ability.
12
For if
the readiness
is present,
it is acceptable
according
to what a person has,
not
according
to what he does not have.
13
For this is not for the ease
of others
and for your affliction,
but by way
of equality--
14
at this
present
time
your abundance
being a supply for their need,
so
that their abundance
al
so
may become
a supply for your need,
that there may be equality;
15
as it is written,
"HE WHO gathered MUCH
DID
NO
T HAVE TOO MUCH,
AND HE WHO gathered LITTLE
HAD
NO
LACK."
16
But thanks
be to God
who puts
the same
earnestness
on your behalf
in the heart
of Titus.
17
For he not only
accepted
our appeal,
but being
himself
very earnest,
he has gone
to you of his own accord.
18
We have sent along
with him the brother
whose
fame
in the things of the gospel
has spread through
all
the churches;
19
and not only
this, but he has also
been appointed
by the churches
to travel
with us in this
gracious work,
which is being administered
by us for the glory
of the Lord
Himself,
and to show our readiness,
20
taking precaution
so that no
one
will discredit
us in our administration
of this
generous gift;
21
for we have regard
for what is honorable,
not only
in the sight
of the Lord,
but also
in the sight
of men.
22
We have sent
with them our brother,
whom
we have often
tested
and found
diligent
in many
things,
but now
even more
diligent
because of his great
confidence
in you.
23
As for Titus,
he is my partner
and fellow worker
among
you; as for our brethren,
they are messengers
of the churches,
a glory
to Christ.
24
Therefore
openly
before
the churches,
show
them the proof
of your love
and of our reason for boasting
about
you.
