KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

3 G3754 For G2596 to G1411 their power G3140 , I bear record [G5719] G2532 , yea, and G5228 beyond G1411 their power G830 they were willing of themselves;

4 G1189 Praying [G5740] G2257 us G3326 with G4183 much G3874 intreaty G2248 that we G1209 would receive [G5664] G5485 the gift G2532 , and G2842 take upon us the fellowship G1248 of the ministering G1519 to G40 the saints.

5 G2532 And G3756 this they did, not G2531 as G1679 we hoped [G5656] G235 , but G4412 first G1325 gave [G5656] G1438 their own selves G2962 to the Lord G2532 , and G2254 unto us G1223 by G2307 the will G2316 of God.

6 G1519 Insomuch G2248 that we G3870 desired [G5658] G5103 Titus G2443 , that G2531 as G4278 he had begun [G5662] G3779 , so G2005 he would G2532 also G2005 finish [G5661] G1519 in G5209 you G5026 the same G5485 grace G2532 also.

7 G235 Therefore G5618 , as G4052 ye abound [G5719] G1722 in G3956 every G4102 thing, in faith G2532 , and G3056 utterance G2532 , and G1108 knowledge G2532 , and G3956 in all G4710 diligence G2532 , and G5216 in your G26 love G1537 G1722 to G2254 us G2443 , see that G4052 ye abound [G5725] G1722 in G5026 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

8 G3004 I speak [G5719] G3756 not G2596 by G2003 commandment G235 , but G1223 by occasion G4710 of the forwardness G2087 of others G2532 , and G1381 to prove [G5723] G1103 the sincerity G5212 of your G26 love.

9 G1063 For G1097 ye know [G5719] G5485 the grace G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G3754 , that G5607 , though he was [G5752] G4145 rich G1223 , yet for G5209 your G1223 sakes G4433 he became poor [G5656] G2443 , that G5210 ye G1565 through his G4432 poverty G4147 might be rich [G5661] .

10 G2532 And G1722 herein G5129 G1325 I give [G5719] G1106 my advice G1063 : for G5124 this G4851 is expedient [G5719] G5213 for you G3748 , who G4278 have begun before [G5662] G3756 , not G3440 only G4160 to do [G5658] G235 , but G2532 also G2309 to be forward [G5721] G4070 a year G575 ago.

11 G3570 Now G1161 G2532 therefore G2005 perform [G5657] G4160 the doing [G5658] G3704 of it; that G2509 as G4288 there was a readiness G2309 to will [G5721] G3779 , so G2005 there may be a performance [G5658] G2532 also G1537 out of G2192 that which ye have [G5721] .

12 G1063 For G1487 if there G4295 be first [G5736] G4288 a willing mind G2144 , it is accepted G2526 according to G1437 that G5100 a man G2192 hath [G5725] G3756 , and not G2526 according to that G2192 he hath [G5719] G3756 not.

13 G1063 For G3756 I mean not G2443 that G243 other men G425 be eased G1161 , and G5213 ye G2347 burdened:

14 G235 But G1537 by G2471 an equality G3568 , that now G1722 at G2540 this time G5216 your G4051 abundance G1519 may be a supply for G1565 their G5303 want G2443 , that G1565 their G4051 abundance G2532 also G1096 may be [G5638] G1519 a supply for G5216 your G5303 want G3704 : that G1096 there may be [G5638] G2471 equality:
