  1 G1161 Moreover, G80 brothers, G1107 we make known G5213 to you G5485 the grace G2316 of God G1325 which has been given G1722 in G1577 the assemblies G3109 of Macedonia;
  2 G3754 how that G1722 in G4183 much G1382 proof G2347 of affliction G4050 the abundance G846 of their G5479 joy G2532 and G2596   G846 their G899 deep G4432 poverty G4052 abounded G1519 to G4149 the riches G846 of their G572 liberality.
  3 G3754 For G2596 according to G1411 their power, G3140 I testify, G2532 yes and G5228 beyond G1411 their power, G830 they gave of their own accord,
  4 G1189 begging G2257 us G3326 with G4183 much G3874 entreaty G2248 to G1209 receive G5485 this grace G2532 and G2842 the fellowship G1248 in the service G1519 to G40 the saints.
  5 G2532   G3756 This was not G2531 as G1679 we had hoped, G235 but G4412 first G1325 they gave G1438 their own selves G2962 to the Lord, G2532 and G2254 to us G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God.
  6 G1519 So G3870   G2248 we G3870 urged G5103 Titus, G3870 that G2531 as G4278 he made a beginning G3779 before, so G2532 he would also G2005 complete G1519 in G5209 you G3778 this G2532   G5485 grace.
  7 G235 But G5618 as G4052 you abound G1722 in G3956 everything, G4102 in faith, G3056 utterance, G1108 knowledge, G3956 all G4710 earnestness, G2532 and G1537   G5216 in your G26 love G1722 to G2254 us, G2443 see that G2532 you also G4052 abound G1722 in G3778 this G5485 grace.
  8 G3004 I speak G3756 not G2596 by G2003 way of commandment, G235 but G1223 as G1381 proving G4710 through the earnestness G2087 of others G1103 the sincerity G2532 also G5212 of your G26 love.
  9 G1063 For G1097 you know G5485 the grace G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G3754 that, G5607 though he was G4145 rich, G1223 yet for G5209 your sakes G4433 he became poor, G2443 that G5210 you G1565 through his G4432 poverty G4147 might become rich.
  10 G2532   G1722   G5129   G1325 I give G1106 a judgment G1063 in this: for G5124 this G4851 is expedient G5213 for you, G3748 who G4278 were the first G575 to start a G4070 year ago, G3756 not G3440 only G4160 to do, G235 but G2532 also G2309 to be willing.
  11 G2532 But G3570 now G2005 complete G4160 the doing G3704 also, that G2509 as G4288 there was the readiness G2309 to be willing, G3779 so G2005 there may be the completion G2532 also G1537 out of G3588 your G2192 ability.
  12 G1063 For G1487 if G4288 the readiness G4295 is there, G2144 it is acceptable G2526 according to what G5100 you G1437 have, G3756 not G2526 according to G3756 what you don't G2192 have.
  13 G1063 For G3756 this is not G2443 that G243 others G425 may be eased G1161 and G5213 you G2347 distressed,
  14 G235 but G1537 for G2471 equality. G5216 Your G4051 abundance G1722 at G3568 this present G2540 time G1519 supplies G1565 their G5303 lack, G2443 that G1565 their G4051 abundance G2532 also G1096 may become G1519 a supply for G5216 your G5303 lack; G3704 that G1096 there may be G2471 equality.
  15 G2531 As G1125 it is written, G3588 "He who G4183 gathered much G4121 had G3756 nothing G4121 left over, G2532 and G3588 he who G3641 gathered little G1641 had G3756 no G1641 lack."
  16 G1161 But G5485 thanks G2316 be to God, G3588 who G1325 puts G846 the same G4710 earnest care G5228 for G5216 you G1722 into G2588 the heart G5103 of Titus.
  17 G3754 For G3303 he indeed G1209 accepted G3874 our exhortation, G1161 but G5225 being G4705 himself very earnest, G1831 he went G4314 out to G5209 you G830 of his own accord.
  18 G1161   G4842 We have sent G3326 together with G846 him G80 the brother G3739 whose G1868 praise G1722 in G2098 the Good News G1223 is known through G3956 all G1577 the assemblies.
  19 G1161   G3756 Not G3440 only G235 so, but G5500 who was G2532 also G5500 appointed G5259 by G1577 the assemblies G4898 to travel with G2257 us G4862 in G3778 this G5485 grace, G3588 which G1247 is served G5259 by G2257 us G4314 to G1391 the glory G846 of the G2962 Lord G2532 himself, and G5216 to show our G4288 readiness.
  20 G4724 We are avoiding G5124 this, G3361 that any G5100 man G3469 should blame G2248 us G1722 concerning G3778 this G100 abundance G1247 which is administered G5259 by G2257 us.
  21 G4306 Having regard for G2570 honorable things, G3756 not G3440 only G1799 in the sight of G2962 the Lord, G235 but G2532 also G1799 in the sight G444 of men.
  22 G1161   G4842 We have sent with G846 them G2257 our G80 brother, G3739 whom G1381 we have G4178 many times G1381 proved G5607   G4705 earnest G1722 in G4183 many things, G1161 but G3570 now G4183 much G4706 more earnest, G4183 by reason of the great G4006 confidence G3588 which G1519 he has in G4706 you.
  23 G1535 As G5228 for G5103 Titus, G1699 he is my G2844 partner G2532 and G4904 fellow worker G1519 for G5209 you. G1535 As G2257 for our G80 brothers, G652 they are the apostles G1577 of the assemblies, G1391 the glory G5547 of Christ.
  24 G3767 Therefore G1731 show G1732 the proof G5216 of your G26 love G1519 to G846 them G2532   G1519 in G4383 front G1577 of the assemblies, G2532 and G2257 of our G2746 boasting G5228 on G5216 your behalf.
