Brothers, we have you know the charism of Elohim given in the ecclesiae of Macedonia; 2 how that in much proofing by tribulation the superabundance of their cheer and their deep poverty superabounds to the riches of their liberality. 3 For I witness to their dynamis - yes and beyond their dynamis that they volunteer of themselves; 4 petitioning us with much beseeching to receive the charism and the communion and ministry to the holy. 5 And not exactly as we hoped, but first they gave their own selves to Adonay and to us through the will of Elohim. 6 To my beseeching Titus, that exactly as he previously began, thus he also fully completes/shalams this charism in you. 7 Rather, exactly as you superabound in all - in trust and word and knowledge and in all diligence and in your love to us, see that you superabound in this charism also. 8 I word, not by order, but through the diligence of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. 9 For you know the charism of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah: that, being rich, for your sakes he impoverished: that through his poverty, you enrich.
