2 Corinthians 8:4-15 with much consolation beseeching of us the favor and the fellowship of the service, of the one for the holy ones, for us to receive it .

ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

4 G3326 with G4183 much G3874 consolation G1189 beseeching G1473 of us G3588 the G5484 favor G2532 and G3588 the G2842 fellowship G3588 of the G1248 service, G3588 of the one G1519 for G3588 the G39 holy ones, G1209 for us to receive it . G1473

5 G2532 And G3756 not G2531 only as G1679 we hoped, G235 but G1438 of themselves G1325 they gave G4412 first G3588 to the G2962 Lord, G2532 and G1473 to us G1223 through G2307 the will G2316 of God.

6 G1519 So that G3588 G3870 we appealed to G1473 G* Titus, G2443 that G2531 as G4278 he began before, G3779 so G2532 also G2005 he should complete G1519 with G1473 you G2532 also G3588 G5484 this favor. G3778

7 G235 But G5618 as G1722 in G3956 every way G4052 you abound, G4102 in belief, G2532 and G3056 word, G2532 and G1108 knowledge, G2532 and G3956 all G4710 diligence, G2532 and G3588 in the G1537 [²from G1473 ³you G1722 ⁴to G1473 ⁵us G26 ¹love], G2443 that G2532 also G1722 in G3778 this G3588 G5484 favor G4052 you should abound.

8 G3756 Not G2596 according to G2003 command G3004 I speak, G235 but G1223 through G3588 the G2087 [²of others G4710 ¹diligence], G2532 and G3588 the G3588 [²of the G5212 ⁴of your G26 ⁵love G1103 ³genuineness G1381 ¹proving].

9 G1097 For you know G1063 G3588 the G5484 favor G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G3754 that G1223 for G1473 you G4433 he became poor -- G4145 being rich; G1510.6 G2443 that G1473 you G3588 by his G1565 G4432 poorness G4147 should be enriched.

10 G2532 And G1106 an opinion G1722 in G3778 this G1325 I give. G3778 For this G1063 G1473 is advantageous to you, G4851 G3748 the ones who G3756 not G3440 only G3588 the G4160 doing, G235 but G2532 also G3588 the G2309 wanting, G4278 began before G575 a year ago. G4070

11 G3568 But now G1161 G2532 also G3588 [²the G4160 ³doing G2005 ¹complete]! G3704 so that G2509 just as G3588 the G4288 eagerness G3588 of the thing G2309 wanted, G3779 so G2532 also G3588 the G2005 completing G1537 of G3588 the G2192 having.

12 G1487 For if G1063 G3588 the G4288 eagerness G4295 is situated, G2526 according to that which G1437 ever G2192 anyone should have, G5100 G2144 it is well-received, G3756 it is not G2526 according to that which G3756 he does not have. G2192

13 G3756 For it is not G1063 G2443 that G243 others G425 have liberty, G1473 but to you G1161 G2347 affliction;

14 G235 but G1537 from out of G2471 equality G1722 in G3588 the G3568 present G2540 time, G3588 that G1473 your G4051 abundance G1519 be for G3588 G1565 their G5303 deficiency, G2443 that G2532 also G3588 G1565 their G4051 abundance G1096 should be G1519 for G3588 G1473 your G5303 deficiency, G3704 so that G1096 [²should take place G2471 ¹equality].

15 G2531 As G1125 it has been written, G3588 The one gathering G3588 G4183 much G3756 was not G4121 superabundant; G2532 and G3588 the one gathering G3588 G3641 few G3756 did not G1641 have less.

4 G1189 [G5740] Begging G2257 us G3326 with G4183 much G3874 entreaty G2248 that we G1209 [G5664] would receive G3588 the G5485 gift, G2532 and G3588 take upon us the G2842 fellowship G3588 of the G1248 service G1519 to G3588 the G40 holy ones.

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

6 G1519 So G2248 that we G3870 [G5658] urged G5103 Titus, G2443 that G2531 as G4278 [G5662] he had begun, G3779 so G2005 0 he would G2532 also G2005 [G5661] finish G1519 in G5209 you G5026 the same G5485 grace G2532 also.

7 G235 Therefore, G5618 as G4052 [G5719] ye abound 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 G3588 in the G26 love G1537 from out of G5216 you G1722 to G2254 us, G2443 see that G4052 [G5725] ye abound G1722 in G5026 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

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

9 G1063 For G1097 [G5719] ye know G5485 the grace G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed, G3754 that, G5607 [G5752] though he was G4145 rich, G1223 0 yet for G5209 your G1223 sakes G4433 [G5656] he became poor, G2443 that G5210 ye G1565 through his G4432 poverty G4147 [G5661] might be rich.

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

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

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

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

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

15 G2531 As G1125 [G5769] it is written, G3588 He that had gathered G4183 much G4121 0 had G3756 nothing G4121 [G5656] over; G2532 and G3588 he that had gathered G3641 little G1641 0 had G3756 no G1641 [G5656] want.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with myche monestyng bisechynge vs the grace and the comynyng of mynystring, that is maad to hooli men. ⁵ And not as we hopiden, but thei yauen hem silf first to the Lord, aftirward to vs bi the wille of God. ⁶ So that we preyeden Tite, that as he bigan, so also he performe in you this grace. ⁷ But as ye abounden in alle thingis, in feith, and word, and kunnyng, and al bisynesse, more ouer and in youre charite in to vs, that and in this grace ye abounden. ⁸ Y seie not as comaundinge, but bi the bisynesse of othere men appreuynge also the good wit of youre charite. ⁹ And ye witen the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, for he was maad nedi for you, whanne he was riche, that ye schulden be maad riche bi his nedynesse. ¹⁰ And Y yyue counsel in this thing; for this is profitable to you, that not oneli han bigunne to do, but also ye bigunnen to haue wille fro the formere yere. ¹¹ But now parfourme ye in deed, that as the discrecioun of wille is redi, so be it also of parformyng of that that ye han. ¹² For if the wille be redi, it is acceptid aftir that that it hath, not aftir that that it hath not. ¹³ And not that it be remyssioun to othere men, and to you tribulacioun; ¹⁴ but of euenesse in the present tyme youre aboundance fulfille the myseese of hem, that also the aboundaunce of hem be a fulfillynge of youre myseise, that euenesse be maad; as it is writun, ¹⁵ He that gaderide myche, was not encresid, and he that gaderide litil, hadde not lesse.

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and prayed vs with great instaunce that we wolde receave their benefite and suffre them to be parttakers with other in ministrynge to the saynctes. ⁵ And this they did not as we loked for: but gave their awne selves fyrst to the lorde and after vnto vs by the will of God: ⁶ so that we coulde not but desyre Titus to acomplysshe the same benivolence amonge you also even as he had begonne. ⁷ Now therfore as ye are ryche in all parties in fayth in worde in knowledge in all fervetnes and in love which ye have to vs: even so se that ye be plenteons in this benivolence. ⁸ Thys saye I not as commaundynge: but be cause other are so fervent therfore prove I youre love whether it be perfait or no. ⁹ Ye knowe the liberalitie of oure lorde Iesus Christ which though he were riche yet for youre sakes be came poore: that ye thorow his povertie myght be made ryche. ¹⁰ And I geve counsell hereto. For this is expedient for you which beganne not to do only: but also to will a yeare a goo. ¹¹ Now therfore performe the dede: that as ther was in you a redines to will even so ye maye performe the dede of that which ye have. ¹² For if ther be fyrst a willynge mynde it is accepted accordynge to that a man hath and not accordinge to that he hath not. ¹³ It is not my mynde that other be set at ease and ye brought into combraunce: ¹⁴ but that ther be egalnes now at this tyme that youre aboundaunce sucker their lacke: that their aboundaunce maye supplie youre lacke: ¹⁵ that ther maye be equalite agreynge to that which is written. He that gaddered moche had never the more aboundaunce and he yt gaddered lytell had never the lesse.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and prayed vs with greate instauce, that we wolde receaue their benefite and fellishippe of the hadreachinge that is done for the sayntes: ⁵ And not as we loked for, but gaue ouer them selues first to the LODRE, and afterwarde vnto vs by ye wyl of God, ⁶ so that we coulde not but desyre Titus, that like as he had begonne afore he wolde euen so accomplish the same beniuolence amonge you. ⁷ Now as ye are riche in all poyntes, in faith and in worde, and in knowlege, and in all diligence, and in youre loue towarde vs, euen so se that ye be plenteous also in this benyuolece. ⁸ This I saye not as commaudynge, but seynge, other are so diligent, I proue youre loue also, whether it be perfecte or no. ⁹ For ye knowe the liberalite of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which though he be riche, yet for youre sakes he became poore, yt ye thorow his pouerte mighte be made riche. ¹⁰ And my councell herin I geue, for this is profitable for you, which haue begonne a yeare a goo,not onely to do, but also to wyll. ¹¹ But now perfourme the dede also, that like as there is a ready mynde to wil, there maye be a ready mynde also to perfourme the dede of that which ye haue. ¹² For yf there be a wyllinge mynde, it is accepted acordinge to that a man hath, not acordinge to that he hath not. ¹³ This is not done to the intent, that other shulde haue ease, and ye cobraunce, ¹⁴ but that it be a lyke. Let youre abundaunce sucker their lacke in this tyme off derth, that their abundaunce also herafter maye supplee youre lacke, ¹⁵ that there maye be equalite. As it is wrytten: He yt gathered moch, had not the more: and he that gathered litle, wanted nothinge.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and prayed us with great instance, that we would receive their benefit, and suffer them to be partakers with others in ministering to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we looked for; but gave their own selves first to the Lord, and after unto us by the will of God: ⁶ so that we could not but desire Titus to accomplish the same benevolence among you also, even as he had begun. ⁷ Now therefore, as ye are rich in all parts, in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all ferventness, and in love, which ye have to us: even so see that ye be plenteous in this benevolence. ⁸ This say I not as commanding: but because others are so fervent, therefore prove I your love, whether it be perfect or no. ⁹ Ye know the liberality of our Lord Jesus Christ, which though he were rich, yet for your sakes became poor: that ye through his poverty might be made rich. ¹⁰ And I give counsel hereto: For this is expedient for you, which began — not to do only, but also to will — a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform the deed, that as there was in you a readiness to will, even so ye may perform the deed, of that which ye have. ¹² For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. ¹³ It is not my mind that other be set at ease, and ye brought into cumbrance: but that there be equalness now at this time, ¹⁴ that your abundance succor their lack at this present time of dearth — that their abundance may supply your lack; that there may be equality, ¹⁵ agreeing to that which is written, "He that gathered much had never the more abundance, and he that gathered little, had nevertheless."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ & prayed vs with great instaunce that we would receyue theyr benefyte, and suffer them to be partakers with other in mynystrynge to the saynctes. ⁵ And thys they dyd, not as we loked for: but gaue theyr owne selues fyrste to the Lorde, and after vnto vs by the wyl of God: ⁶ so that we coulde not but desyre Titus to accomplyshe the same beneuolence amonge you also, euen as he had begonne. ⁷ Nowe therfore, as ye are ryche in al partties in fayth, in worde, in knoweledge, in all feruentnes, and in loue, which ye haue to vs: euen so se that ye be plenteous in thys beneuolence. ⁸ Thys saye I not as commaundyng: but because other are so feruente, therfore proue I youre loue, whether it be perfecte or no. ⁹ Ye knowe the lyberalytie of oure Lorde Iesus Christe, whiche though he were ryche, yet for youre sakes became pore that ye thorowe hys pouertye myght be made ryche. ¹⁰ And I geue counsell hereto. For thys is expediente for you, whiche beganne, not to do onelye, but also to wyll, a yeare a go. ¹¹ Nowe therfore performe the dede: that as there was in you a redynes to wyll, euen so ye may performe the dede of that whiche ye haue. ¹² For yf there be fyrste a wyllynge mynde, it is accepted accordyng to that a man hath, and not accordynge to that he hath not. ¹³ It is not my mynde that other be set at ease, and ye broughte into combraunce: ¹⁴ but that there be equalnes nowe at thys tyme, that youre aboundaunce succoure theyr lacke: that theyr aboundaunce maye supplye youre lacke: ¹⁵ that there may be equalitie, agreyng to that which is wryten.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints. ⁵ And not as we hoped: but they gave their own selves, first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God; ⁶ Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. ⁷ That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. ⁸ I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have. ¹² For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. ¹³ For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, but by an equality. ¹⁴ In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality, ¹⁵ As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want.

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:

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ earnestly intreating me to take the gift, and the charge of conveying it to the converts at Jerusalem: ⁵ and in this they out-did my expectation; such was the divine pleasure, they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then made me an offer to go themselves to Corinth. ⁶ I therefore desired Titus, as he had begun, to finish this contribution among you. ⁷ that as you excel in every thing, in faith, in language, mystical knowledge, in all virtue, and in your affection to us; I hope you will excel too in this charitable disposition. ⁸ I don't mean to prescribe to you, but that the zeal of others may show you are as sincerely well-affected. ⁹ for you are sensible of the beneficence of our Lord Jesus Christ; powerful as he was, for your sake he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich. ¹⁰ in this I only advise you: it being for your credit, since you have not only begun to execute it, but you were the first that form'd the design a year ago. ¹¹ Pray then, dispatch this affair; as you readily undertook it, as readily perform it, to the best of your abilities. ¹² for what a man gives with a ready mind, according to his abilities, is well received; but not when he goes beyond his circumstances. ¹³ my meaning is not, that you should be distress'd to relieve others, I only recommend an equality; ¹⁴ that as your present sufficiency supplies their wants, their sufficiency may supply your occasions another way: and thus there will be an equality. ¹⁵ as it is written, " he that had much, had nothing over, and he that had little, had no lack."

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Praying us with much intreaty, [that we would accept the gift], and the fellowship of the ministring to the saints. ⁵ And this, not as we hoped; but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we have desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. ⁷ Therefore as ye abound in every thing, in faith, in utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us; that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by commandment, but on account of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which you have. ¹² For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, not according to that he hath not. ¹³ For not that other men be eased, and you burdened: ¹⁴ But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may] be for their want, that their abundance also may be for your want, that there may be equality, ¹⁵ As it is written, He that [had] much, had nothing over; and he that [had] little, had no lack.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Praying us with much intreaty, to receive the gift and take a part in ministring it to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we hoped; but first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God: ⁶ So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also compleat this gift among you. ⁷ Therefore as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of command, but that by the diligence of others, I may prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun a year ago, not only to do, but also to do it willingly. ¹¹ Now therefore compleat the work, that as there was a ready will, so there may be also a performance, in proportion to what ye have. ¹² For if there be first a ready mind, a man is accepted, according to what he hath, not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For I do not mean, that others should be eased, and you burthened; But by an equality, ¹⁴ let your abundance be at this time a supply to their want; that their abundance also may be a supply to your want, that there may be an equality, ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered the most, had nothing over; and he that had gathered the least, did not lack.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ intreating us with much importunity, that we would convey the gift, and so take upon us a part of the ministration to the saints. ⁵ And this they did not merely as we hoped, but first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had already begun, so he would also complete this grace among you. ⁷ And as ye abound in every other grace, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, that ye may abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of command, but to prove the sincerity of your love also, by means of the forwardness of others. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye by his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my opinion: for this is to your advantage, who not only began to act, but also to be forward to it above a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perfect also the doing it; that as there was a readiness of will, so there may be also a performance according to your ability. ¹² For if there be first a willing mind, any me is accepted according to what he hath, not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For I do not mean that others should have relief, and you be burdened: ¹⁴ but by an equality, that your abundance may at this time be a supply to their want; and their abundance may be the like to your want, if need be: that there may be an equality: ¹⁵ as it is written, "He that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack."

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty praying us that we would receive the gift, and [undertake] the communication of the contribution for the saints. ⁵ And not [merely] as we hoped, but gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us according to the will of God. ⁶ So that we exhorted Titus, that as he had been active before, so also he would perfect in you this grace also. ⁷ So as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and elocution, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich. ¹⁰ And in this I give my opinion: for this is expedient for you, who have before begun not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago. ¹¹ Now then accomplish also the doing it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be also to perform out of that which ye have. ¹² For if there is first a ready mind, a man is acceptable according to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For I mean not that there should be ease for others and a burden on you; ¹⁴ but that according to equality, your abundance on the present occasion should afford a supply for their deficiency, that their abundance also may supply your deficiency, that there may be equality. ¹⁵ According as it is written, "He that [gathered] much had no more than others, and he who [gathered] little, had no less."

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us with much intreaty to receive this bounty, and take a share with others in the office of distributing it to the saints, ⁵ not indeed as if we had expected this; but they gave themselves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God, ⁶ so as to induce us to exhort Titus, as he had begun, to continue on and complete this bounty among you; ⁷ that, as you abound in every thing; in belief, and doctrine, and knowledge, and in all earnestness even in your love for us, you might abound also in this bounty. ⁸ I do not say this by way of command, but am, during the exertion of others, proving the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For you know the bounty of our Lord Jesus Christ, that rich as he was, he for your sakes became poor, that through his poverty you might become rich. ¹⁰ And I give you my opinion on this occasion, for this is becoming of you who took the lead, not only in doing, but even in forming the design above a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore compleat the doing, that the performance with what you have, may be answerable to the readiness with which you undertook it. ¹² For if there be a willingness, a person is accepted according to what he hath; not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For it is not the design that others should be eased, and you burdened; ¹⁴ but for the sake of equality your abundance at this time should supply their want; in order that their abundance may supply your want, so that there may be an equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, He Who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little did not fall short."

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Praying us with much entreaty, that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God: ⁶ So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. ⁷ Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And in this I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore finish the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. ¹² For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, and not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For I mean not that other men should be eased, and you burdened: ¹⁴ But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no want.

15 G2531 As G1125 [G5769] it is written G3588 , He that {\i had gathered G4183 } much G4121 0 had G3756 nothing G4121 [G5656] over G2532 ; and G3588 he that {\i had gathered G3641 } little G1641 0 had G3756 no G1641 [G5656] want.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ requesting us to accept the charity and the participation of the service, which is for the saints. ⁵ Yes, beyond our expectations; for they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ This moved us to entreat Titus, that as he had formerly begun, so he would also finish the same charity among you likewise. ⁷ Now as you abound in every gift, (in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us,) I wish that you may abound in this gift also. ⁸ I speak not this as an injunction, but on account of the diligence of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ (For you know the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor; that you, through his poverty, might be rich.) ¹⁰ And in this I give my opinion, not only to do, but also to be willing since the last year. ¹¹ At present, therefore, finish the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will; so also let there be to finish, according to your ability. ¹² For if there be a willing mind, according to what a person has, he is accepted; and not according to what he has not. ¹³ However, I mean not that others should be eased and you distressed; but on account of equality, ¹⁴ that now your abundance may be a supply for their want; that again, their abundance may be a supply for your want; that there may be an equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, "He who gathered much, had nothing over; and he who gathered little, had no lack."

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ they besought of us, with much supplication, that they might participate in the beneficence of the ministry for the saints. ⁵ And not as we had supposed, but they gave themselves up first to the Lord, and also to us by the will of Aloha. ⁶ For we would request of Titos, that as he had begun, so he would carry into accomplishment this beneficence among you also. ⁷ But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel. ⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ But counselling I counsel you this which helpeth you; because from the last year you began not to will only, but also to do. ¹¹ But now accomplish in work that which you willed, that as there hath been an incitement to will, so accomplish it in work from what you have. ¹² For if there be the will, according to what one hath, so is (he) accepted, and not according to what he hath not. ¹³ Neither must there be to others ease, and to you anxiety, ¹⁴ but in equality be you at this time; that your abundance may be a supply to their want, that also [on another occasion] their abundance may be for [a supply] to your want, that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, He who took up much had no superfluity, and he who took up little was not deficient.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ they besought us, with much entreaty, that they might participate in the beneficence of the ministration to the saints. ⁵ And not only as we had expected, but they first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ So that we requested Titus, that as he had begun, so he would perfect in you also the same beneficence. ⁷ And as ye are enriched in every thing, in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love towards you, so abound ye in this beneficence also. ⁸ I do not actually command you, but by the promptitude of your fellow disciples, I would test the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the goodness of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who when he was rich, for your sakes became poor, that by his poverty ye might be made rich. ¹⁰ And I urgently recommend to you, that which is for your advantage; inasmuch as ye began, a year ago, not only to purpose, but also to perform. ¹¹ And now complete ye by action, what ye purposed; that as ye had a promptitude in your purposing, so ye may fulfill it in action, according to your ability. ¹² For if there is a willingness, a person is accepted according to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For it is not, that others may have easement, and you pressure; ¹⁴ but that ye may be on equality at the present time; and that your abundance may be a supply to their want; that their abundance likewise may be a supply to your want; that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, He who gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, was not deficient.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty they desired of us the favor of a participation in the service to the saints; ⁵ and not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God, ⁶ so that we requested Titus, as he before began, that he would complete also this charity with you. ⁷ But as you abound in every thing, in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love for us, [we desire] that you may abound in this grace also. ⁸ ^(2:2) I do not speak by command, but on account of the diligence of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love; ⁹ for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he became poor, though rich, that you by his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And in this case I give an opinion; for this is expedient for you, who began before to act in this matter and to act willingly a year ago. ¹¹ And now, therefore, perform the doing also, that as there was a readiness to will, so also there may be a performance from what you have. ¹² For if there is a willing mind, a man is acceptable according to what he has, and not according to what he has not. ¹³ Not that others may be relieved and you burdened, ¹⁴ but that there may be an equality; that at the present time your abundance may supply their deficiency, and that their abundance may supply your deficiency, that there may be an equality, ¹⁵ as it is written; He that [gathered] much had nothing over, and he that [gathered] little had no deficiency.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much earnest entreaty asking of us the favor even the participation of the service of that for the saints. ⁵ And not as we expected, but themselves they gave first to the Lord, and to us, through will of God; ⁶ in order that to intreat us Titus, that as he before began, so also he would perfect among you also the gift this. ⁷ But as in every thing you abound, (in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence, and in the form of you to us love,) that also in this the favor you may abound; ⁸ not according to a command I speak, but through of the of others diligence, and that of the your love reality am proving; ⁹ (you know for the favor of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed, that on account of you he became poor rich being, so that you by the of him poverty might become rich;) ¹⁰ and an opinion in this I give. This for you to you is profitable, who not alone the to do, but also the to will before began from last year; ¹¹ now but also the to do do you perfect, that as the promptness of the to will, so also the to finish out of the to have. ¹² If for the promptness is placed first, according to what may have any one, acceptable, not according to what not he has. ¹³ Not for, that to others rest, to you but affliction, but out of an equality; in the present season the to you abundance for the of them want, ¹⁴ so that also the of them abundance may be for the of you want, so that may be an equality; ¹⁵ even as it has been written: He the much, not had over; and he the little, not had lack.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty beseeching of us the grace, and the participation in the ministering to the saints; ⁵ and not as we expected, but themselves they gave first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ So that we exhorted Titus, that as he had before begun, so he would also finish among you this grace also. ⁷ But, as in everything ye abound, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all diligence, and your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I say it not by way of command, but through the forwardness of others proving also the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And I give an opinion in this matter; for this is expedient for you, who began before others, not only to do, but also to will, a year ago. ¹¹ And now perform the doing of it also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the performance according to what ye have. ¹² For if there be first the willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man has, not according to what he has not. ¹³ For it is not that others may be eased, and ye burdened; ¹⁴ but, by the rule of equality, at this present time your abundance being a supply for their want, that also their abundance may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality; as it is written: ¹⁵ He that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little did not lack.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us, with much entreaty, that they might give, and take part in the ministering to the saints; ⁵ and they did this, not only as we had hoped, but they gave them selves first to the Lord, and then to us, through the will of God; ⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, as he had previously begun, so he would bring to an end this gift among you also. ⁷ Now as you excel in every thing, in faith, and in speech, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love for us, see that you excel in this gift also. ⁸ I do not speak this as a commandment, but on account of the zeal of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet, for your sakes, he became poor, that you, through his poverty, might become rich. ¹⁰ And I give my judgment in this matter; for this is profitable for you, who began not only to do, but to show a willing mind, a year ago. ¹¹ Now, therefore, perfect also the doing of this; that as there was a readiness of mind to be willing, so also there may be an accomplishment of the doing, out of that which you have. ¹² For if there is a readiness of mind, one is accepted according to what he has, not according to what he has not. ¹³ For I do not intend that there shall be relief to others, and affliction to you; but that, according to equality, your abundance, at the present time, may supply their wants; ¹⁴ and that, at a future time, their abundance may supply your wants; that there may be equality, ¹⁵ as it is written: He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little did not lack.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ begging of us with much entreaty the favor of sharing in the ministration to the saints; ⁵ and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God; ⁶ so that we urged Titus, that, as he had already made a beginning, so he would also finish among you this bounty also. ⁷ But as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this exercise of liberality also. ⁸ I speak not by way of command, but by reason of the earnestness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And I only give an opinion in this matter. For this is expedient for you, who began before others, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform the doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. ¹² For if there be first the willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, not according to what he hath not. ¹³ For it is not that others may be eased, and you burdened, ¹⁴ but to make an equality; at the present season your abundance meeting their deficiency, that their abundance may at another time meet your deficiency; that there may be equality; ¹⁵ as it is written: "He that gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, had no lack."

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints, ⁵ and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God, ⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour,
⁷ but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound; ⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, ⁹ for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor—being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich. ¹⁰ and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before—a year ago, ¹¹ and now also finish doing it, that even as there is the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have, ¹² for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not; ¹³ for not that for others release, and ye pressured, do I speak, ¹⁴ but by equality, at the present time your abundance—for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality, ¹⁵ according as it hath been written, `He who did gather much, had nothing over; and he who did gather little, had no lack.'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Praying us with much entreaty that we receive the grace and participation of the service for saints. ⁵ And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ So that we besought Titus, that as he began before, so also he would complete to us this grace also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all care, and in love from you to us, that also ye abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not according to command, but by care of others, trying also the purity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And in this I give an opinion: for this is profitable to you, which no only to do, but to will, ye began before from last year. ¹¹ And now also complete ye the doing; that as a forwardness to will so also to complete, out of what is possessed. ¹² For if a forwardness lie before, according as any has, it is acceptable, not as he has not. ¹³ For not that ease to others, and pressure to you: ¹⁴ But of equality, now in this time your abundance for their want, that also their abundance be for your want: that there be equality: ¹⁵ As has been written, He to whom much, was not in excess; and he to whom little, was not diminished.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints. ⁵ And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God`s will. ⁶ So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also; ⁷ but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also. ⁸ I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago. ¹¹ But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have. ¹² For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not. ¹³ For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress, ¹⁴ but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality. ¹⁵ According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: ⁵ and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ¹¹ But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not. ¹³ For [I say] not [this], that others may be eased, [and] ye distressed: ¹⁴ but by equality; your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: ⁵ and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ¹¹ But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not. ¹³ For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed; ¹⁴ but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.

ASV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

4 G1189 beseeching G2257 us G3326 with G4183 much G3874 entreaty G2248 in G1209 regard G5485 of this grace G2532 and G2842 the fellowship G1248 in the ministering G1519 to G40 the saints:

5 G2532 and G3756 this, 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 Insomuch G3870 that G2248 we G3870 exhorted G5103 Titus, G2443 that G2531 as G4278 he made a beginning G3779 before, so G2532 he would also G2005 complete G1519 in G5209 you G3778 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

7 G235 But G5618 as G4052 ye abound G1722 in G3956 everything, G4102 in faith, G2532 and G3056 utterance, G2532 and G1108 knowledge, G2532 and G3956 in all G4710 earnestness, G2532 and G1537 G5216 in your G26 love G1722 to G2254 us, G2443 see that G4052 ye abound G1722 in G3778 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

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 ye 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 ye G1565 through his G4432 poverty G4147 might become rich.

10 G2532 And G1722 herein G5129 G1325 I give G1106 my judgment: G1063 for G5124 this G4851 is expedient G5213 for you, G3748 who G4278 were the first G575 to make a beginning a G4070 year ago, G3756 not G3440 only G4160 to do, G235 but G2532 also G2309 to will.

11 G2532 But G3570 now G2005 complete G4160 the doing G3704 also; that G2509 as G4288 there was the readiness G2309 to will, 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 as G5100 a man G1437 hath, G3756 not G2526 according as G2192 he hath G3756 not.

13 G1063 For G3756 I say not G2443 this that G243 others G425 may be eased G1161 and G5213 ye G2347 distressed;

14 G235 but G1537 by G2471 equality: G5216 your G4051 abundance G1722 being a supply at G3568 this present G2540 time G1519 for G1565 their G5303 want, G2443 that G1565 their G4051 abundance G2532 also G1096 may become G1519 a supply for G5216 your G5303 want; G3704 that G1096 there may be G2471 equality:

15 G2531 as G1125 it is written, G3588 He that G4183 gathered much G4121 had G3756 nothing G4121 over; G2532 and G3588 he that G3641 gathered little G1641 had G3756 no G1641 lack.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: ⁵ and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my judgment; for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ¹¹ But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. ¹³ For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed, ¹⁴ but by equality; your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want, that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ With much exhortation, entreating of us the favour and the fellowship of the ministry which was for the saints; –– ⁵ And, not merely as we hoped, but, themselves, gave they, first, unto the Lord and unto us through God’s will, ⁶ To the end we should exhort Titus, in order that, according as he before made a beginning, so, he should also complete unto you this favour also.
⁷ But, just as, in everything, ye superabound,––in faith, and discourse, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love among you which proceedeth from us, in order that, in this favour also, ye would superabound. ⁸ Not by way of injunction, do I speak, but through, others’, earnestness, and, the genuineness of your own love, putting to the test. ⁹ For ye are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], ––how that, for your sakes, he became destitute––although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched. ¹⁰ And, a judgment, herein, do I give,––for, this, unto you, is profitable,––who, indeed, not only of the doing, but of the desiring, made for yourselves a beginning a year ago; –– ¹¹ Howbeit, now, the doing also, complete ye, in order that, even according to the forwardness of the desiring, so, may be the completing––out of what ye have. ¹² For, if the forwardness is set forth, according to what one may have, he is well approved, not according to what one hath not. ¹³ For, not that unto others should be relief, and unto you distress [do I speak], but, by equality, in the present season, your surplus for their deficiency,–– ¹⁴ In order that their surplus may come to be for your deficiency: that there may come about an equality:–– ¹⁵ Even as it is written––He that [gathered] the much, had not more than enough, and, he that [gathered] the little, had not less,

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And with many an appeal to us for permission, they showed their love, and contributed their share towards the fund for their fellow-Christians. ⁵ And that, not only in the way we had expected; but first they gave themselves to the Lord, and to us also, in accordance with God's will. ⁶ And this led us to urge upon Titus that, as he had started the work for you, he should also see to the completion of this expression of your love. ⁷ And, remembering how you excel in everything--in faith, in teaching, in knowledge, in unfailing earnestness, and in the affection that we have awakened in you--I ask you to excel also in this expression of your love. ⁸ I am not laying a command upon you, but I am making use of the earnestness shown by others to test the genuineness of your affection. ⁹ For you do not forget the loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ--how that for your sakes, although he was rich, he became poor, so that you also might become rich through his poverty. ¹⁰ I am only making suggestions on this matter; for this is the best course for you, since you were a year before others, not only in taking action, but also in showing your readiness to do so. ¹¹ And now I want you to complete the work, so that its completion may correspond with your willing readiness--in proportion, of course, to your means. ¹² For, where there is willingness, a man's gift is valued by its comparison with what he has, and not with what he has not. ¹³ For our object is not to give relief to others and bring distress on you, but, by equalizing matters, to secure that, ¹⁴ On the present occasion, what you can spare may supply their need, so that at another time what they can spare may supply your need, and thus matters may be equalized. ¹⁵ As Scripture says--'The man who had much had nothing over, and the man who had little did not lack!'

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much exhortation praying our favor and the fellowship of the ministry which is to the saints: ⁵ and not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us through the will of God: ⁶ that we should exhort Titus, that as he formerly began it, he may indeed also complete this grace unto you. ⁷ But as in every thing you abound, in faith, and in word, and knowledge, and in all zeal, and in divine love from you in us, that you may also abound in this philanthropy. ⁸ I speak not according to commandment, but through the zeal of others also proving the sincerity of your divine love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my judgement: for this is profitable to you, who not only began to do, but to be anxious, a year ago: ¹¹ but now indeed complete the work; in order that as there was a promptitude of willing, there shall also be a completion out of your ability. ¹² For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable according to what one may have, and not according to what he has not. ¹³ For it is not that there may be relief to others, affliction to you, but that it may be according to equality: at this time your abundance may correspond to their deficiency, ¹⁴ that their abundance may correspond with your deficiency, in order that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as has been written, He that had much did not super-abound; and he that had little did not lack.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ With earnest entreaty they begged from us the favour of being allowed to share in the service now being rendered to God's people. ⁵ They not only did this, as we had expected, but first of all in obedience to God's will they gave their own selves to the Lord and to us. ⁶ This led us to urge Titus that, as he had previously been the one who commenced the work, so he should now go and complete among you this act of beneficence also. ⁷ Yes, just as you are already very rich in faith, readiness of speech, knowledge, unwearied zeal, and in the love that is in you, implanted by us, see to it that this grace of liberal giving also flourishes in you. ⁸ I am not saying this by way of command, but to test by the standard of other men's earnestness the genuineness of your love also. ⁹ For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ--how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich. ¹⁰ But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so. ¹¹ And now complete the doing also, in order that, just as there was then the eagerness in desiring, there may now be the accomplishment in proportion to your means. ¹² For, assuming the earnest willingness, the gift is acceptable according to whatever a man has, and not according to what he has not. ¹³ I do not urge you to give in order that others may have relief while you are unduly pressed, ¹⁴ but that, by equalization of burdens, your superfluity having in the present emergency supplied their deficiency, their superfluity may in turn be a supply for your deficiency later on, so that there may be equalization of burdens. ¹⁵ Even as it is written, "HE WHO GATHERED MUCH HAD NOT TOO MUCH, AND HE WHO GATHERED LITTLE HAD NOT TOO LITTLE."

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ beseeching us with much entreaty as to the grace and the participation in the ministering to the saints; ⁵ and they did this not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God; ⁶ so that we exhorted Titus that, as he began before, so also he would finish in you this same grace also. ⁷ But, as ye abound in everything—in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us—see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I am not speaking by way of command; but as proving, through the diligence of others, the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And I give my judgment in this; for this is profitable for you, who, indeed, began before others, a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ¹¹ And now complete the doing also; that, as there was a readiness to will, so also there may be the completion out of what ye have; ¹² for, if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he has not. ¹³ For it is not that there may be relief to others, but distress to you; ¹⁴ but, by the rule of equality, your abundance being a supply, at the present time, for their deficiency; that also their abundance may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as it has been written, "He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ begging me of their own accord, most urgently, for the favour of contributing to the support of the saints. ⁵ They have done more than I expected; they gave themselves to the Lord, to begin with, and then (for so God willed it) they put themselves at my disposal. ⁶ This has led me to ask Titus to complete the arrangements for the same gracious contribution among yourselves, as it was he who started it. ⁷ Now then, you are to the front in everything, in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all zeal, and in love for us — do come to the front in this gracious enterprise as well. ⁸ I am not issuing any orders, only using the zeal of others to prove how sterling your own love is. ⁹ (You know how gracious our Lord Jesus Christ was; rich though he was, he became poor for the sake of you, that by his poverty you might be rich.) ¹⁰ But I will tell you what I think about it; it is to your interest to go on with this enterprise, for you started it last year, you were the first not merely to do anything but to want to do anything. ¹¹ Now, carry it through, so that your readiness to take it up may be equalled by the way you carry it through — so far as your means allow. ¹² If only one is ready to give, according to his means, it is acceptable; he is not asked to give what he has not got. ¹³ This does not mean that other people are to be relieved and you to suffer: ¹⁴ it is a matter of give and take; at the present moment your surplus goes to make up what they lack, in order that their surplus may go to make up what you lack. ¹⁵ Thus it is to give and take — as it is written, He who got much had nothing over, and he who got little had not too little.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and begged me most earnestly, of their own accord, to let them share in the support of their fellow-Christians. ⁵ They did far more than I hoped, for first in obedience to God's will, they gave themselves to the Lord, and to me. ⁶ This has led me to urge Titus to complete the arrangements he had formerly begun among you for this gracious undertaking. ⁷ Just as you excel in everything else—faith, expression, knowledge, perfect devotion, and the love we have awakened in you—you must excel in this generous undertaking too. ⁸ I do not mean this as a command. I only want to test the genuineness of your love by the devotion of others. ⁹ You know how gracious the Lord Jesus Christ was. Though he was rich, he became poor for your sake, in order that by his poverty you might become rich. ¹⁰ But I will tell you what I think about it. For this is the best way to deal with you, for you were the first not only to do anything about this, but to want to do anything, and that was last year. ¹¹ Now finish doing it, so that your readiness to undertake it may be equaled by the way you finish it up, as well as your means permit. ¹² If a man is willing to give, the value of his gift is in its proportion to what he has, not to what he has not. ¹³ I do not mean to be easy upon others and hard upon you, ¹⁴ but to equalize the burden, and in the present situation to have your plenty make up for what they need, so that some day their plenty may make up for what you need, and so things may be made equal— ¹⁵ as the Scripture says, "The man who got much did not have too much, and the man who got little did not have too little."

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with great urgency they begged of us the favor of fellowship in the service for the holy, ⁵ and this not as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God. ⁶ Therefore we encouraged Titus that as he had begun so he should complete this grace among you. ⁷ But as you excel in every way, in faith and speech and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the love you learned from us, be sure to excel in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by way of command, but testing the genuineness of your love by the earnestness of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor, that you by his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ In this I give my opinion, for this is advantageous for you, since a year ago you were first to begin not only the doing but the wanting to do anything. ¹¹ But now complete the doing, that as there was a readiness in willing so there may be a completion according to your means. ¹² For if there is first the readiness, a gift is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has not. ¹³ I do not mean that others shall have relief and you shall have trouble, ¹⁴ but by equality at the present time your abundance may supply their need so that their abundance may come at your need — that there may be equality, ¹⁵ as it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over and he who gathered little had no lack."

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ With earnest entreaty they craved of me the privilege of a share in ministering to the saints in Jerusalem. ⁵ And this not as I had expected, but in accordance with the will of God, they first gave themselves to God and to me. ⁶ With the result that I have been begging Titus that, as he had been the one to begin the work with you, so he should complete among you this grace also. ⁷ Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also. ⁸ I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And I will give you my opinion in this matter; for this offering is fitting in your case, considering that you made a beginning before others, not only in the willingness to do something but also in actually doing something a year ago. ¹¹ So now complete the doing of it also, in order that just as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the accomplishment according to your means. ¹² For if there be first willing mind, the gift is accepted according to what a man has, and not according to what he has not. ¹³ Nor are other people to be relieved, and you to be distressed; ¹⁴ but burdens are to be equalized. Now your abundance at this present time present time is a supply for their want, in supply for your want; and so burdens be equalized, ¹⁵ even as it is written, He who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little did not lack.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And besought us most earnestly that they might be partakers in the gift for the ministration to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not only as we expected, but first they gave themselves to our LORD, and then to us by the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch as we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish this same gift among you. ⁷ Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by our love toward you, you should likewise excel in this gracious favor also. ⁸ I am not making a demand on you, but I am prompted by the devotion of your fellow believers to test the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For you know the gracious gift of our LORD Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might be rich. ¹⁰ Herein I give you my advice: that it may help you to go forward and accomplish what you, of your own accord, began to do last year. ¹¹ Now therefore perform the doing of that which you wished to do; and as you were eager to promise it, so fulfil from that which you have. ¹² For if there is a willingness to give, every man can give according to that which he has, and not according to that which he has not, and his gift will be acceptable. ¹³ This is not intended to relieve other men and add a burden to you; ¹⁴ But that there may be an equality at this particular time, that your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty beseeching of us the grace and the fellowship of the service for the saints; ⁵ and not according as we expect, but themselves they give first to the Lord, and to us through the will of God." ⁶ So that we entreat Titus that, according as he undertakes before, thus also should he be completing in you this grace also." ⁷ But, even as you are superabounding in everything - in faith and word and knowledge and all diligence and the love that flows out of you into us - that you may be superabounding in this grace also." ⁸ I am not saying this as an injunction, but, through the diligence of others, testing also the genuineness of this love of yours." ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, because of you He became poor, that you, by His poverty, should be rich." ¹⁰ And in this I am giving an opinion, for this is expedient for you, who, for a year past, undertake before, not only the doing but the willing also." ¹¹ Yet now complete the doing also, so that, even as the eagerness to will, thus also may be the completion, out of what you have." ¹² For if eagerness lies before, it is most acceptable according to whatever one may have, not according to what he has not." ¹³ For it is not, that, to others ease, yet to you affliction, ¹⁴ but by an equality, in the current occasion, your superabundance is for their want, that their superabundance also may be coming to be for your want, so that there may be coming to be an equality, ¹⁵ According as it is written: the one with much increases not, and the one with few lessens not."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with earnest entreaty, they kept on begging me for the favor of sharing in this service that is being rendered to God's people. ⁵ They did not do as I expected but even more; they first by God's will gave themselves to the Lord, and then to me; ⁶ so that I insisted that Titus, as he had formerly commenced it, should bring to completion this gracious contribution among you too. ⁷ Yes, just as you are growing rich in everything else, in faith, expression, knowledge, perfect enthusiasm, and the love inspired in you by us, you must see to it that you grow rich in this gracious contribution too. ⁸ I am not saying this in the spirit of a command, but I am simply trying to test the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others. ⁹ For by experience you know the unmerited favor shown by our Lord Jesus Christ; that although He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, in order that by His poverty you might become rich. ¹⁰ Now I will give you my opinion on this matter. For this is for your interest, because you were not only the first to do anything about it, but the first to want to do so; you started it a year ago. ¹¹ Now finish doing it too, so that your readiness to finish it may be just like your readiness to start it, in accordance with what you have. ¹² If a man is ready and willing to give, his gift is acceptable in accordance with what he has, not with what he does not have. ¹³ For I do not want it to be a relief for others and a burden on you, ¹⁴ but through an equalizing of matters in the present crisis I do want your abundance to relieve their need, that some day their abundance may relieve your need, so that equality may exist -- ¹⁵ just as the Scripture says, "The man who gathered much did not have too much, and the man who gathered little did not have too little."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints: ⁵ And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God. ⁶ So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you. ⁷ And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way. ⁸ I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love. ⁹ For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth. ¹⁰ And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it. ¹¹ Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able. ¹² For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not. ¹³ And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you: ¹⁴ But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal. ¹⁵ As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much beseeching, begging us that they might receive of us the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints. ⁵ And not as we hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God, ⁶ for us to call on Titus, that even as he began before, so he would also complete this grace to you also. ⁷ But even as you abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us; you should abound in this grace also. ⁸ I do not speak according to command, but through the eagerness of others, and testing the trueness of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, in order that you might be made rich through His poverty. ¹⁰ And in this I give my judgment; for this is profitable for you, who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago. ¹¹ But now also finish the doing of it, so that, as there was a readiness to will, so also the finishing, giving out of what you have. ¹² For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what one does not have. ¹³ For it is not that others may have ease, but you trouble; ¹⁴ but by equality in the present time; your abundance for their need, that their abundance also may be for your need; so that there may be equality; ¹⁵ as it is written, "He gathering much, he had nothing left over; and he gathering little did not have less."

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreating, begging us that they might receive of us the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints. ⁵ And not as we hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God, ⁶ for us to call on Titus, that even as he began before, so also he might complete this grace to you also. ⁷ But even as you abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love in us, that you also should abound in this grace. ⁸ I do not speak according to command, but through the earnestness of others and testing the trueness of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, He became poor for your sake, so that you might become rich by the poverty of that One. ¹⁰ And I give judgment in this, for this is profitable for you, who began before not only to do, but also to be willing from last year. ¹¹ But now also finish the doing of it, so that even as there was the eagerness in the willing, so also the finishing, giving out of what you have. ¹² For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. ¹³ For it is not that there may be ease to others, but trouble to you; ¹⁴ but by equality in the present time, your abundance for their need; but also that their abundance may be for your need, that there may be equality; ¹⁵ even as it has been written, "He gathering much, he had nothing left over, and he gathering little had no less." Ex. 16:18

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ¹⁰ And herein I give opinion: for this is beneficial for you, who previously began, not only to do, but also to will, from a year ago. ¹¹ So now fully complete/shalam the doing thereof; that exactly as there was an eagerness to will, thus also to fully complete/shalam from what you have. ¹² For if you set forth an eagerness, it is well-received - according to whatever anyone has and not according to whatever he has not ¹³ - not that others relax and you tribulate: ¹⁴ but by an equality, that in this present season your abundance becomes to their lack, and also their superabundance becomes to your want so that equality becomes: ¹⁵ exactly as scribed, Whoever had much, superabounded not; and whoever had little, lessened not. ^{Exodus 16:18}

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ [even] pleading with us and requesting the privilege of taking part in this service to the saints [i.e., God’s holy people] in Jerusalem. [See also 9:1-15; I Cor. 16:1-2; Rom. 15:25-28]. ⁵ And they did not [just] do as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and [then] to us through the will of God. ⁶ So, [i.e., because of your enthusiastic response to this need. See verse 10], we urged Titus, who had previously begun [taking up this collection], to help you also complete this favorable work [i.e., by finalizing it]. ⁷ But just as you excel in everything [else]; in your faith, in your speaking; in your knowledge [Note: Possibly these refer to spiritual gifts. See I Cor. 12:8-10], in your eagerness [to serve], and in your love for us, now you people should also excel in this favorable work [i.e., of giving financial help to needy people]. ⁸ I am not saying this [to you] as a command, but by telling you how eager others are [to help], to find out how genuine your love is also. ⁹ For you know the unearned favor of our Lord Jesus Christ, [how] that even though He was rich, He became poor for your sakes, so that through His poverty you people could become [spiritually] rich. ¹⁰ Now here is my advice on what is best to do in this matter: Since you were the first ones to begin [taking up a collection] a year ago, [now you should] not only be doing something [about it], but [you should continue] wanting to do something [as well]. ¹¹ So, now finish doing it also, so that just as you were eager to want to, you will also [be eager to] finish it, according to your ability. ¹² For if the eagerness is there, [then] whatever a person has [to give] is acceptable, and not what he does not have. ¹³ I am not saying this to make it easy for others [to give] and difficult for you people, ¹⁴ but that there will be equality [i.e., in everyone’s giving]. Your abundance can now supply their need, so that their abundance can [later] supply your need. [That way] there can be equality, ¹⁵ as it is written [Ex. 16:18], “The person who gathered much [i.e., manna] did not have any left over, and the one who gathered [only] a little [still] had plenty.”

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much exhortation, begging of us the favor, even the fellowship of service for the sanctified. ⁵ And it was not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God, ⁶ for us to urge Titus that, as he earlier began this kindness, so he would even finish it for you also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, so that ye may also abound in this kindness. ⁸ I speak not from commandment, but because of the zeal of others, also examining the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich. ¹⁰ And in this I give judgment, for this is expedient for you who earlier began, from a year ago, not only the doing but also the intending. ¹¹ And now also finish the doing, so that just as was the willingness of the intending, so also to finish from the having. ¹² For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable to the extent if some man has, not to the extent he does not have. ¹³ For it is not so that ease is for others and stress for you, but out of parity your abundance at the present time is for the need of those men. ¹⁴ So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity, ¹⁵ as it is written, he of much did not abound, and he of little did not lack.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ urgently pleading with us for the privilege of sharing in the relief of the saints. ⁵ And they did not do as we 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, he would also complete in you this work of grace. ⁷ But as you excel in everythingin faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for ussee that you excel in this work of grace also. ⁸ I am not speaking this as a command, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich. ¹⁰ And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire. ¹¹ Now finish the work, so that your readiness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. ¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have. ¹³ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; ¹⁴ but at the present time your abundance should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

WEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints. ⁵ This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. ⁷ But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing. ¹¹ But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have. ¹³ For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed, ¹⁴ but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

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."

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints. ⁵ This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. ⁶ So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. ⁷ But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love from us that is in you, see that you also abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing. ¹¹ But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have. ¹³ For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed, ¹⁴ but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take on us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. ⁷ Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which you have. ¹² For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man has, and not according to that he has not. ¹³ For I mean not that other men be eased, and you burdened: ¹⁴ But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

5 G1679 And this they did, not as we hoped, G4412 but first G1325 gave G1438 their own selves G2962 to the Lord, G2307 and to us by the will G2316 of God.

6 G1519 So G3870 that we desired G5103 Titus, G4278 that as he had begun, G3779 so G2532 he would also G2005 finish G846 in you the same G5485 grace G2532 also.

7 G235 Therefore, G4052 as you abound G3956 in every G4102 thing, in faith, G3056 and utterance, G1108 and knowledge, G3956 and in all G4710 diligence, G5209 and in your G26 love G4052 to us, see that you abound G5124 in this G5485 grace G2532 also.

8 G3004 I speak G2003 not by commandment, G1223 but by occasion G4710 of the forwardness G2087 of others, G1381 and to prove G1103 the sincerity G5212 of your G26 love.

9 G1097 For you know G5485 the grace G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G4145 that, though he was rich, G5216 yet for your G4433 sakes he became G4433 poor, G4432 that you through his poverty G4147 might be rich.

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

11 G3570 Now G2532 therefore G2005 perform G4160 the doing G4288 of it; that as there was a readiness G2309 to will, G3779 so G2005 there may be a performance G2532 also G2192 out of that which you have.

12 G1487 For if G4295 there be first G4288 a willing G4288 mind, G2144 it is accepted G2526 according G5100 to that a man G2192 has, G2526 and not according G2192 to that he has not.

13 G243 For I mean not that other G425 men be eased, G2347 and you burdened:

14 G2471 But by an equality, G3568 that now G1722 at G3588 this G3568 G2540 time G5216 your G4051 abundance G5303 may be a supply for their want, G4051 that their abundance G2532 also G5216 may be a supply for your G5303 want: G2471 that there may be equality:

15 G1125 As it is written, G4183 He that had gathered much G3756 had nothing G4121 over; G3641 and he that had gathered little G3756 had no G1641 lack.

4 G1189 Begging G2257 us G3326 with G4183 much G3874 entreaty G2248 that we G1209 would receive 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 only as G1679 we hoped, G235 but G4412 first G1325 gave G1438 their own selves G2962 to the Lord, G2532 then G2254 to us G1223 by G2307 the will G2316 of God.

6 G1519 So G3870 much that G2248 we G3870 desired G5103 Titus, G2443 that G2531 as G4278 he had begun, G3779 so G2532 he would also G2005 complete G1519 in G5209 you G3778 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

7 G235 Therefore, G5618 as G4052 you abound 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 G1537 G5216 in your G26 love G1722 to G2254 us, G2443 see that G4052 you abound G1722 in G3778 this G5485 grace G2532 also.

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

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

11 G3570 Now G2532 therefore G2005 perform G4160 the doing G3704 of it; that G2509 as G4288 there was a readiness G2309 to will, G3779 so G2005 there may be a performance G2532 also G1537 out of G3588 that which G2192 you have.

12 G1063 For G1487 if G4295 there is first G4288 a willing mind, G2144 it is acceptable G2526 according to what G5100 a man G1437 has, G3756 and not G2526 according to G2192 what he has G3756 not.

13 G1063 For G3756 I mean not G2443 that G243 other men G425 be eased, G1161 and G5213 you 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 G1519 a supply for G5216 your G5303 want: G3704 that G1096 there may be G2471 equality:

15 G2531 As G1125 it is written, G3588 He that G4183 had gathered much G4121 had G3756 nothing G4121 over; G2532 and G3588 he that G3641 had gathered little G1641 had G3756 no G1641 lack.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints, ⁵ and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God, ⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour, ⁷ but even as in every thing you do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace you may abound; ⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, ⁹ for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that you by that poverty may become rich. ¹⁰ And an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago, ¹¹ and now also finish doing it, that even as there is the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which you have, ¹² for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he has not; ¹³ for not that for others release, and you pressured, do I speak, ¹⁴ but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality, ¹⁵ according as it has been written, 'He who did gather much, had nothing over; and he who did gather little, had no lack.'

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the grace and take upon us the fellowship of the ministry to the saints. ⁵ And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord and then unto us by the will of God. ⁶ Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete among you the same grace also. ⁷ ¶ Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not as commanding, but by occasion of the diligence of others and to prove the sincerity of your charity. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor that ye through his poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ And in this I give my advice, for this is expedient for you, who began not only to do, but also to be diligent a year ago. ¹¹ Now therefore finish the doing of it that as there was a readiness to will, so there may also be a performance out of that which ye have. ¹² For if there is first a willing desire, it is accepted according to what a person has and not according to what they do not have. ¹³ For I mean not that others be eased and ye burdened, ¹⁴ but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality: ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much appeal, begging us for the grace and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints-- ⁵ and not as we hoped, but they first gave their own selves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God, ⁶ so that we urged Titus, that just as he had begun before, thus he would also finish this grace also in you. ⁷ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also. ⁸ I speak not by a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet on account of you He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And I give my opinion in this: For this is profitable for you, who not only previously began doing this, but also desired to, since last year. ¹¹ And now also complete doing it; that as indeed there was the readiness to desire it, thus also there may be the completion from what you have. ¹² For if there is first a readiness, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have. ¹³ For I do not mean that others should be relieved and you burdened; ¹⁴ but by way of equality, that now at the present time your abundance may supply their need, that their abundance also may supply your need, in order that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written, "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack."

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ they begged us with much entreaty to receive the gift, the sharing in the ministry to the saints ⁵ —and more than we had hoped, they first gave themselves to the Lord (and due to God’s will, to us). ⁶ So we urged Titus that as he had made a beginning so he should also bring to completion in you this grace as well; ⁷ that as you excel in everything—in faith, in word, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—that you excel in this grace too. ⁸ I am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ So here is my advice in this (since already a year ago you began to give and to plan, this is to your advantage): ¹¹ now you must really finish the doing—not only of the enthusiastic planning but also of the completing—out of what you have ¹² (because when the intention is presented, it is acceptable according to what one may have, not what he doesn’t have). ¹³ Now this is not to distress you so as to relieve others, ¹⁴ but by way of balance—at this juncture your surplus alleviates their lack, so that later their surplus may alleviate your lack—yes, that there be balance; ¹⁵ as it is written: “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.”

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ with much appeal and calling of us to their side to give us relief, assistance and encouragement, repeatedly and constantly begging of us the grace (or: the favor) and the common participation (partnership and sharing from common existence) of the attending service which pertains to the dispensing into the set-apart folks (the holy ones; the saints). ⁵ And not according as we expected, but rather they gave themselves first to the Lord [= Christ or Yahweh; p46 & others read: God], and even (or: also) to us, through the effect of God's will and purpose, ⁶ [leading] us to assist and encourage Titus, so that, just as he did before in the beginning, thus also he should fully finish and complete even this favor unto you folks (or: he should bring this grace to its goal: even into you people). ⁷ But further, even as you folks continuously superabound within everything – in faith (or: trust; loyalty) and word (thought; idea; reason; message) and experiential knowledge, as well as with all haste to earnest diligence, and in the love from out of the midst of us [that is] within the midst of you [other MSS: the love from you [that is] within us] – that you may be progressively superabounding in this grace, also. ⁸ I am not now saying [this] down from some arrangement put upon [you], but still [I am] also continuing in testing and proving the legitimacy of the birth (or: the genuineness) of the love, which belongs to you, through means of the haste to earnest and diligent care from different folks. ⁹ For you people continue knowing by experience the grace of Jesus Christ (or: the favor whose source and being is Jesus [the] Anointed), our Lord (Master; Owner), that although continuously existing being rich (wealthy), because of and for the sake of you folks He became destitute and led the life of a beggar, to the end that by and in the destitution and poverty of That One, you yourselves could (or: should; may; would) come to be rich (wealthy). ¹⁰ And so, in this [testing and proving], I am now offering knowledge gained from my experience, for this [topic] is progressing to bring things together for you, to your benefit and expedience – you who from a year ago were first in making a beginning not only to do, but even to desire and purpose [it] – ¹¹ even so now, bring the doing to its goal (fully accomplish the performing and the producing), so that – even as the eagerness to will (or: the propensity to rush ahead to the purpose) – thus also [may be] the accomplishing of the goal, from out of [your] possessions and holdings. ¹² You see, if the eagerness continues lying before [a person], [it is] well-embraced and very acceptable – in proportion to whatever one may normally possess (have and hold), not corresponding to what he does not normally have. ¹³ For, you see, [the situation is] not that to (or: for; in; with) other folks [there is] a letting up with relief and ease, yet to (or: for; in; with) you folks [there is] pressure with tribulation, oppression and affliction (or: = hardship), ¹⁴ but to the contrary, out of the fairness and equity of equality within the present season (or: by an equalization in the current occasion and situation), your superabundance (or: your encompassing surplus-result) [can flow] into the lack resulting from the shortcoming of those folks (= offset their deficiency), keeping in mind that the superabundance (or: surplus-effect) of those folks could also at some point birth itself into the lack resulting from your shortcoming (= offset your deficiency), so that an equalizing can occur. ¹⁵ [This is] just as it has been written, "the person [who gathered] the great quantity did not have too much, and the person [who gathered] the small amount did not have too little." [Ex. 16:18]

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ They were very urgent in their concern for this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the holy ones. ⁵ This is not as we hoped. First they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ We exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace. ⁷ But as you have plenty of everything, in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love for us, see that you have plenty of this undeserved kindness also. ⁸ I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. ¹¹ But now complete the doing. There was the eager will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. ¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have. ¹³ I do not say this for the ease of others and for your affliction ¹⁴ but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality: ¹⁵ as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ They begged us earnestly for the privilege of participating in this ministry to the saints. ⁵ We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God’s will. ⁶ So we urged Titus to finish this work of kindness among you in the same way that he had started it. ⁷ Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.
⁸ I am not commanding you but testing the genuineness of your love by the enthusiasm of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah. Although he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might become rich.
¹⁰ I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it. ¹¹ Now finish what you began, so that your eagerness to do so may be matched by your eagerness to complete it. ¹² For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
¹³ Not that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it is a question of fairness. ¹⁴ At the present time, your surplus fills their need, so that their surplus may fill your need. In this way things are fair. ¹⁵ As it is written, “The person who had much did not have too much, and the person who had little did not have too little.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ requesting of us with much exhortation the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the saints, ⁵ and not just as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, by the will of God. ⁶ So we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun it, thus he would also complete for you this act of grace. ⁷ But just as you excel in everything—in faith and in speaking and in knowledge and with all diligence and in the love from us that is in you—so may you excel in this grace also. ⁸ I am not saying this as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he* was rich, for your sake he became poor, in order that you, by his poverty, may become rich. ¹⁰ And I am giving an opinion in this matter, because this is profitable for you who not only began previously, a year ago, to do something, but also to want to do it. ¹¹ So now also complete the doing of it, in order that just as you have the eagerness to want to do it, thus also you may complete it from what you have. ¹² For if the eagerness is present _⌊according to what one has_⌋*, it is acceptable not _⌊according to what one does not have_⌋*. ¹³ For this is not that for others there may be relief, and for you difficult circumstances, but as a matter of equality. ¹⁴ At the present time your abundance will be for their need, in order that their abundance may also be for your need, so that there may be equality, ¹⁵ just as it is written, "The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."*

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ imploring of us with much entreaty for the grace and the fellowship of the service among the saints. ⁵ And not only as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, by the will of God. ⁶ Accordingly, we exhorted Titus that as he had begun, so also he might complete with you this grace as well. ⁷ But even as you abound in every way—in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love from us to you—that also you should abound in this grace. ⁸ I do not speak as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love through the earnestness of others also. ⁹ For you know the grace our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, for the sake of you He became poor, so that you through His poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ And I give a judgment in this matter, for this is profitable for you who not only have begun from a year ago to act, but also to will. ¹¹ And now also complete the doing, so that just as there was the readiness to will, so also there may be to complete, out of that which you have. ¹² For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable as if he might have, not as he does not have. ¹³ For this is not that to others there may be ease, but for you affliction; but of equality. ¹⁴ At the present time, your abundance will be for their need, so that their abundance also may be for your need, so that there may be equality. ¹⁵ As it has been written: “He the much did not abound, and he the little had no lack.”

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. ⁵ And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, because it was the will of God. ⁶ So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it. ⁷ But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. ⁸ I am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. ¹⁰ And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire. ¹¹ Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means. ¹² For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. ¹³ It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality. ¹⁴ At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality. ¹⁵ As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ They were beseeching from us, with much pleading, to help in the favor and the fellowship of the service of relief to the holy-ones; ⁵ and, not only as we had hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us through the will of God. ⁶ That we might encourage Titus, in order that just-as he made a beginning, so he might also complete this favor in you. ⁷ But just-as you are abounding in everything, in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence and in the love from you to us, see that you also may abound in this favor. ⁸ I do not speak according to commandment, but I am testing the genuineness of your love through the diligence of others. ⁹ For you know the favor of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet he became-poor because of you, in order that you might be enriched through that poverty. ¹⁰ And I give my viewpoint in this; for this is advantageous for you, who were the first to make a beginning from the past-year, not only to do this, but also to will this. \ulnone\nosupersub ¹¹ But now also, complete the doing of it; that just-as there was the eagerness to wish it, so also to complete it out of what you have. ¹² For if the eagerness lays before you, according to whatever someone has, it is acceptable, not according to what he does not have. ¹³ For I do not say that there should be relief to others but affliction to you, but from equality, your abundance in this current time is for their lack, ¹⁴ in order that their abundance may also become for your lack, that there may become equality, ¹⁵ as it has been written, ‘He who gathered much did not increase, and he who gathered few did not have less.’

11 G3570 nun G1161 aber G2005 vollbringet G2532 auch G4160 das Tun G3704 , auf daß G2509 , gleichwie G4288 da ist ein geneigtes G2309 Gemüt, zu wollen G3779 , so G2005 sei G2532 auch G2005 da ein geneigtes Gemüt G1537 , zu tun von G2192 dem, was ihr habt .

14 G3568 So G1519 diene G5216 euer G4051 Überfluß G1565 ihrem G5303 Mangel G1722 [teure] diese G2540 Zeit G2443 lang, auf daß G2532 auch G1565 ihr G4051 Überfluß G1096 hernach G1519 diene G5216 eurem G5303 Mangel G3704 und G2471 ein Ausgleich G1096 geschehe;

10 G2532 En G1325 G5719 ik zeg G1722 in G5129 dezen G1106 [mijn] mening G1063 ; want G5124 dit G5213 is u G4851 G5719 oorbaar G3748 , als die G3756 niet G3440 alleen G4160 G5658 het doen G235 , maar G2532 ook G2309 G5721 het willen G575 van G4070 over een jaar G4278 G5662 te voren hebt begonnen.

12 G1063 Want G1487 indien G4295 G te voren G4288 de volvaardigheid des gemoeds G4295 G5736 daar is G5100 , zo is iemand G2144 aangenaam G2526 naar G1437 hetgeen G2192 G5725 hij heeft G3756 , niet G2526 naar hetgeen G3756 hij niet G2192 G5719 heeft.

13 G1063 Want G3756 [dit] [zeg] [ik] niet G2443 , opdat G243 anderen G425 zouden verlichting G1161 hebben, en G5213 gij G2347 verdrukking;

14 G235 Maar G1537 [opdat] uit G2471 gelijkheid G1722 , in G3568 dezen tegenwoordigen G2540 tijd G5216 , uw G4051 overvloed G1519 [zij] om G1565 hun G5303 gebrek G2443 [te] [vervullen]; opdat G2532 ook G1565 hun G4051 overvloed G1096 G5638 zij G1519 om G5216 uw G5303 gebrek G3704 [te] [vervullen], opdat G2471 er gelijkheid G1096 G5638 worde.

Mais comme vous abondez en toutes choses: en foi, et en parole, et en connaissance, et en toute diligence, et dans votre amour envers nous, -que vous abondiez aussi dans cette grâce. ⁸ Je ne parle pas comme donnant un commandement, mais à cause de la diligence d'autres personnes, et pour mettre à l'épreuve la sincérité de votre amour. ⁹ Car vous connaissez la grâce de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, comment, étant riche, il a vécu dans la pauvreté pour vous, afin que par sa pauvreté vous fussiez enrichis. ¹⁰ Et en cela je vous donne un avis, car cela vous est profitable, à vous qui avez déjà commencé dès l'année passée, non seulement de faire, mais aussi de vouloir. ¹¹ Or maintenant, achevez aussi de faire, de sorte que, comme vous avez été prompts à vouloir, ainsi aussi vous soyez prompts à achever en prenant sur ce que vous avez; ¹² car si la promptitude à donner existe, elle est agréable selon ce qu'on a, non selon ce qu'on n'a pas; ¹³ car ce n'est pas afin que d'autres soient à leur aise et que vous, vous soyez opprimés, mais sur un principe d'égalité: que dans le temps présent votre abondance supplée à leurs besoins, ¹⁴ afin qu'aussi leur abondance supplée à vos besoins, de sorte qu'il y ait égalité, ¹⁵ qu'il est écrit: "Celui qui recueillait beaucoup n'avait pas plus, et celui qui recueillait peu n'avait pas moins".

7 G235 ¶ G5618 De même que G4052 vous excellez G5719 G1722 en G3956 toutes G4102 choses, en foi G2532 , G3056 en parole G2532 , G1108 en connaissance G2532 , G4710 en zèle G3956 à tous égards G2532 , et G5216 dans votre G26 amour G1537 G1722 pour G2254 nous G2443 , faites en sorte G4052 d’exceller G5725 G2532 aussi G1722 dans G5026 cette G5485 œuvre de bienfaisance.

8 G3004 Je ne dis G5719 G3756 pas G2596 cela pour G2003 donner un ordre G235 , mais G1381 pour éprouver G5723 G1223 , par G4710 le zèle G2087 des autres G2532 , G1103 la sincérité G5212 de votre G26 charité.

9 G1063 Car G1097 vous connaissez G5719 G5720 G5485 la grâce G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G3754 , G1223 qui pour G5209 vous G4433 s’est fait pauvre G5656 G4145 , de riche G5607 qu’il était G5752 G2443 , afin que G1565 par sa G4432 pauvreté G5210 vous G4147 fussiez enrichis G5661 .

10 G2532 G1106 C’est un avis G1325 que je donne G5719 G1722 là G5129 -dessus G1063 , car G5124 cela G4851 vous convient G5719 G5213 , à vous G3748 qui G3756 non G3440 seulement G4278 avez commencé à agir G5662 G2532 , G4160 G5658 G235 mais G2309 qui en avez eu la volonté dès G5721 G4070 l’année G575 dernière.

11 G1161 G2532 Achevez donc G3570 maintenant G2005 d’agir G5657 G4160 G5658 G2532 , G3779 afin que G2005 l’accomplissement G5658 G1537 selon G2192 vos moyens G5721 G4288 réponde à l’empressement G2309 que vous avez mis à vouloir G5721 G3704 G2509 .

12 G1063 G4288 La bonne volonté G1487 , quand elle existe G4295 G5736 G2144 , est agréable G1437 en raison de G2526 G5100 ce qu’elle G2192 peut avoir G5725 G3756 à sa disposition, et non G2526 de ce qu G2192 ’elle n’a G5719 G3756 pas.

13 G1161 G1063 Car G3756 il s’agit, non G2443 G5213 de vous G2347 exposer à la détresse G425 pour soulager G243 les autres,

14 G235 (8-13) mais G1537 de suivre une règle d’égalité G2471 G1722 : dans G2540 la circonstance G3568 présente G5216 votre G4051 superflu G1519 pourvoira à G1565 leurs G5303 besoins G2443 , (8-14) afin que G1565 leur G4051 superflu G1096 pourvoie G5638 G2532 pareillement G1519 aux G5216 vôtres G5303 G3704 , en sorte qu G1096 ’il y ait G5638 G2471 égalité,

15 G2531 selon G1125 qu’il est écrit G5769 G3588 : Celui G4183 qui avait ramassé beaucoup G4121 n’avait G0 G3756 rien G4121 de trop G5656 G2532 , et G3588 celui qui avait ramassé G3641 peu G1641 n’en manquait G5656 G3756 pas.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ они весьма убедительно просили нас принять дар и участие их в служении святым; ⁵ и не только то, чего мы надеялись, но они отдали самих себя, во-первых, Господу, потом и нам по воле Божией; ⁶ поэтому мы просили Тита, чтобы он, как начал, так и окончил у вас и это доброе дело. ⁷ А как вы изобилуете всем: верою и словом, и познанием, и всяким усердием, и любовью вашею к нам, – так изобилуйте и сею добродетелью. ⁸ Говорю это не в виде повеления, но усердием других испытываю искренность и вашей любви. ⁹ Ибо вы знаете благодать Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, что Он, будучи богат, обнищал ради вас, дабы вы обогатились Его нищетою. ¹⁰ Я даю на это совет: ибо это полезно вам, которые не только начали делать сие, но и желали того еще с прошедшего года. ¹¹ Совершите же теперь самое дело, дабы, чего усердножелали, то и исполнено было по достатку. ¹² Ибо если есть усердие, то оно принимается смотря по тому, кто что имеет, а не по тому, чего не имеет. ¹³ Не требуется , чтобы другим было облегчение, а вам тяжесть, но чтобы была равномерность. ¹⁴ Ныне ваш избыток в восполнение их недостатка; а после их избыток в восполнение вашего недостатка, чтобы была равномерность, ¹⁵ как написано: кто собрал много, не имел лишнего; и кто мало, не имел недостатка.

Premda bogat, radi vas posta siromašan, da se vi njegovim siromaštvom obogatite. ¹⁰ Time dajem samo savjet: to doista dolikuje vama koji već prošle godine prvi to započeste, ne samo činom nego i odlukom. ¹¹ Sada dovršite to djelo da kao što spremno odlučiste, tako prema mogućnostima i dovršite. ¹² Jer ima li spremnosti, mila je po onom što ima, a ne po onom čega nema. ¹³ Ne dakako: drugima olakšica, vama oskudica, nego - jednakost! ¹⁴ U sadašnjem trenutku vaš suvišak za njihovu oskudicu da jednom njihov suvišak bude za vašu oskudicu - te bude jednakost, ¹⁵ kao što je pisano: Nije ništa preteklo onome koji bijaše nakupio mnogo, a niti je nedostajalo onome koji bijaše nakupio manje.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 再三的求我們，准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分； ⁵ 並且他們所做的，不但照我們所想望的，更照神的旨意先把自己獻給主，又歸附了我們。 ⁶ 因此我勸提多，既然在你們中間開辦這慈惠的事，就當辦成了。 ⁷ 你們既然在信心、口才、知識、熱心，和待我們的愛心上，都格外顯出滿足來，就當在這慈惠的事上也格外顯出滿足來。 ⁸ 我說這話，不是吩咐你們，乃是藉著別人的熱心試驗你們愛心的實在。 ⁹ 你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典：他本來富足，卻為你們成了貧窮，叫你們因他的貧窮，可以成為富足。 ¹⁰ 我在這事上把我的意見告訴你們，是與你們有益；因為你們下手辦這事，而且起此心意，已經有一年了， ¹¹ 如今就當辦成這事。既有願做的心，也當照你們所有的去辦成。 ¹² 因為人若有願做的心，必蒙悅納，乃是照他所有的，並不是照他所無的。 ¹³ 我原不是要別人輕省，你們受累， ¹⁴ 乃要均平，就是要你們的富餘，現在可以補他們的不足，使他們的富餘，將來也可以補你們的不足，這就均平了。 ¹⁵ 如經上所記：多收的也沒有餘；少收的也沒有缺。

4 G3326 G4183 G3874 再三的 G1189 求 G2257 我們 G1209 ，准 G1248 他們在這供給 G40 聖徒 G5485 的恩情 G2842 上有分；

5 G2532 並且 G3756 他們所做的，不但 G2531 照 G1679 我們所想望 G235 的，更 G1223 照 G2316 神 G2307 的旨意 G4412 先 G1438 把自己 G1325 獻給 G2962 主 G2532 ，又 G2254 歸附了我們。

6 G1519 因此 G2248 我 G3870 勸 G5103 提多 G2531 ，既然 G1519 在 G5209 你們 G4278 中間開辦 G5026 這 G5485 慈惠的事 G2532 ，就 G3779 當 G2005 辦成了。

7 G235 你們既然 G5618 在 G4102 信心 G3056 、口才 G1108 、知識 G3956 G4710 、熱心 G2532 ，和 G1722 待 G2254 我們 G26 G1537 的愛心 G4052 上，都格外顯出滿足 G2443 來，就 G1722 當在 G5026 這 G5485 慈惠的事 G2532 上也 G4052 格外顯出滿足來。

8 G3004 我說 G3756 這話，不是 G2003 吩咐 G235 你們，乃是 G1223 藉著 G2087 別人 G4710 的熱心 G1381 試驗 G5212 你們 G26 愛心 G1103 的實在。

9 G1097 你們知道 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G5485 的恩典 G5607 ：他本來 G4145 富足 G1223 ，卻為 G5209 你們 G4433 成了貧窮 G2443 ，叫 G5210 你們 G1565 因他的 G4432 貧窮 G4147 ，可以成為富足。

10 G1722 我在 G5129 這事 G1325 上把 G1106 我的意見 G5213 告訴你們，是與你們 G4851 有益 G3748 ；因為你們 G4278 下手 G4160 辦 G3756 G3440 G235 G2532 這事，而且 G2309 起此心意 G575 ，已經 G4070 有一年了，

11 G3570 G1161 如今 G2532 就當 G2005 辦成 G4160 這事 G3704 G2509 。既有 G4288 願做 G2309 的心 G3779 G2532 ，也當 G1537 照 G2192 你們所有 G2005 的去辦成。

12 G1063 因為 G1487 人若有 G4295 願做的 G4288 心 G2144 ，必蒙悅納 G2526 ，乃是照 G5100 他 G2192 所有 G3756 的，並不是 G2526 照 G2192 G3756 他所無的。

13 G3756 我原不是 G2443 要 G243 別人 G425 輕省 G5213 ，你們 G2347 受累，

14 G235 乃 G1537 要 G2471 均平 G5216 ，就是要你們的 G4051 富餘 G3568 G1722 G2540 ，現在 G1519 可以補 G1565 他們的 G5303 不足 G2443 ，使 G1565 他們的 G4051 富餘 G2532 ，將來也 G1096 可以 G1519 補 G5216 你們的 G5303 不足 G3704 ，這 G1096 就 G2471 均平了。

15 G2531 如 G1125 經上所記 G4183 ：多 G3588 收 G3756 的也沒有 G4121 餘 G3641 ；少 G3588 收 G2532 的也 G3756 沒有 G1641 缺。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 再叁的求我们，准他们在这供给圣徒的恩情上冇分； ⁵ 并且他们所做的，不但照我们所想望的，更照神的旨意先把自己献给主，又归附了我们。 ⁶ 因此我劝提多，既然在你们中间幵办这慈惠的事，就当办成了。 ⁷ 你们既然在信心、口才、知识、热心，和待我们的爱心上，都格外显出满足来，就当在这慈惠的事上也格外显出满足来。 ⁸ 我说这话，不是吩咐你们，乃是藉着别人的热心试验你们爱心的实在。 ⁹ 你们知道我们主耶稣基督的恩典：他本来富足，却为你们成了贫穷，叫你们因他的贫穷，可以成为富足。 ¹⁰ 我在这事上把我的意见告诉你们，是与你们冇益；因为你们下手办这事，而且起此心意，已经冇一年了， ¹¹ 如今就当办成这事。既冇愿做的心，也当照你们所冇的去办成。 ¹² 因为人若冇愿做的心，必蒙悦纳，乃是照他所冇的，并不是照他所无的。 ¹³ 我原不是要别人轻省，你们受累， ¹⁴ 乃要均平，就是要你们的富余，现在可以补他们的不足，使他们的富余，将来也可以补你们的不足，这就均平了。 ¹⁵ 如经上所记：多收的也没冇余；少收的也没冇缺。

5 G2532 并且 G3756 他们所做的，不但 G2531 照 G1679 我们所想望 G235 的，更 G1223 照 G2316 神 G2307 的旨意 G4412 先 G1438 把自己 G1325 献给 G2962 主 G2532 ，又 G2254 归附了我们。

6 G1519 因此 G2248 我 G3870 劝 G5103 提多 G2531 ，既然 G1519 在 G5209 你们 G4278 中间开办 G5026 这 G5485 慈惠的事 G2532 ，就 G3779 当 G2005 办成了。

8 G3004 我说 G3756 这话，不是 G2003 吩咐 G235 你们，乃是 G1223 藉着 G2087 别人 G4710 的热心 G1381 试验 G5212 你们 G26 爱心 G1103 的实在。

9 G1097 你们知道 G2257 我们 G2962 主 G2424 耶稣 G5547 基督 G5485 的恩典 G5607 ：他本来 G4145 富足 G1223 ，却为 G5209 你们 G4433 成了贫穷 G2443 ，叫 G5210 你们 G1565 因他的 G4432 贫穷 G4147 ，可以成为富足。

10 G1722 我在 G5129 这事 G1325 上把 G1106 我的意见 G5213 告诉你们，是与你们 G4851 有益 G3748 ；因为你们 G4278 下手 G4160 办 G3756 G3440 G235 G2532 这事，而且 G2309 起此心意 G575 ，已经 G4070 有一年了，

11 G3570 G1161 如今 G2532 就当 G2005 办成 G4160 这事 G3704 G2509 。既有 G4288 愿做 G2309 的心 G3779 G2532 ，也当 G1537 照 G2192 你们所有 G2005 的去办成。

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Sok könyörgéssel kérvén minket, hogy a szentek iránt való szolgálat jótéteményébe és közösségébe fogadjuk be õket. ⁵ És nem a miképen reméltük, hanem önmagukat adták elõször az Úrnak, és nekünk [is] az Isten akaratjából. ⁶ Hogy kérnünk kellett Titust, hogy a miképen elkezdette, azonképen végezze is be nálatok ezt a jótéteményt is. ⁷ Azért, miképen mindenben bõvölködtök, hitben, beszédben, ismeretben és minden buzgóságban és hozzánk való szeretetben, úgy e jótéteményben is bõvölködjetek. ⁸ Nem parancsképen mondom, hanem hogy a mások buzgósága által a ti szeretetetek valódiságát is kipróbáljam. ⁹ Mert ismeritek a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztusnak jótéteményét, hogy gazdag lévén, szegénnyé lett érettetek, hogy ti az õ szegénysége által meggazdagodjatok. ¹⁰ Tanácsot is adok e dologban; mert hasznos az néktek, a kik nemcsak a cselekvést, hanem az akarást is elkezdtétek tavaly óta. ¹¹ Most hát a cselekvést is vigyétek végbe; hogy a miképen az akarás készsége, azonképen a végrehajtás is ahhoz képest [legyen,] a mitek van. ¹² Mert ha a készség megvan, a szerint kedves az, a mije kinek-kinek van, [és] nem a szerint, a mije nincs. ¹³ Mert nem úgy, hogy másoknak könnyebbségük, néktek pedig nyomorúságtok [legyen,] hanem egyenlõség szerint; e mostani idõben a ti bõségtek [pótolja] amazoknak fogyatkozását; ¹⁴ Hogy amazoknak bõsége is pótolhassa a ti fogyatkozástokat, hogy [így] egyenlõség legyen; ¹⁵ A mint megvan írva: a ki sokat [szedett,] nem volt többje; és a ki keveset, nem volt kevesebbje.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ mereka minta dengan sangat kepada kami kalau boleh mereka ikut membantu memberi sumbangan kepada umat Allah di Yudea. ⁵ Mereka memberi jauh lebih dari yang kami harapkan. Mereka mula-mula menyerahkan diri kepada Tuhan, kemudian kepada kami juga, sesuai dengan kehendak Allah. ⁶ Itu sebabnya kami sangat menganjurkan Titus--yang memulai usaha ini--supaya ia melanjutkan usaha yang baik ini di antara kalian juga. ⁷ Kalian unggul dalam segala-galanya: Kalian unggul dalam hal percaya, dalam hal menyatakan pendapat, dalam hal pengetahuan, dalam segala macam usaha, dan dalam kasihmu kepada kami. Sebab itu, baiklah kalian juga unggul di dalam usaha yang baik ini. ⁸ Saya tidak menganjurkan itu sebagai suatu perintah. Tetapi dengan menunjukkan betapa giatnya orang lain menolong sesamanya, saya juga ingin tahu sampai di mana kasihmu. ⁹ Sebab kalian mengetahui betul bahwa kita sangat dikasihi oleh Yesus Kristus Tuhan kita. Ia kaya, tetapi Ia membuat diri-Nya menjadi miskin untuk kepentinganmu, supaya dengan kemiskinan-Nya itu, kalian menjadi kaya. ¹⁰ Menurut pendapat saya, pada tempatnyalah kalian menyelesaikan apa yang sudah kalian mulai tahun lalu. Sebab kalianlah yang pertama-tama memikirkan dan memulai usaha ini. ¹¹ Nah, sekarang hendaklah kalian melanjutkannya menurut kemampuanmu. Hendaknya kalian bersemangat untuk menyelesaikan usaha itu, sebagaimana kalian dahulu pun bersemangat merencanakannya. ¹² Kalau kalian rela memberi, maka Allah akan menerima pemberianmu itu berdasarkan apa yang ada padamu, bukan berdasarkan apa yang tidak ada padamu. ¹³ Saya sama sekali tidak bermaksud untuk membebaskan orang lain dari tanggung jawab, dan memberatkan kalian. Tetapi karena kalian sekarang ini dalam keadaan serba cukup, maka sudah sepatutnyalah kalian mencukupi kekurangan mereka. Nanti kalau kalian berkekurangan, dan mereka dalam keadaan serba cukup, maka mereka akan membantu kalian. Dengan demikian kedua-duanya sama-sama dilayani. ¹⁴ (8:13) ¹⁵ Dalam Alkitab tertulis, "Orang yang berpenghasilan banyak, tidak berkelebihan, dan orang yang berpenghasilan sedikit, tidak berkekurangan."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Pregandoci, con molti conforti, d’accettar la grazia, e la comunione di questa sovvenzione che è per li santi. ⁵ Ed hanno fatto, non solo come speravamo; ma imprima si son donati loro stessi al Signore; ed a noi, per la volontà di Dio. ⁶ Talchè noi abbiamo esortato Tito che, come innanzi ha cominciato, così ancora compia eziandio presso voi questa grazia. ⁷ Ma, come voi abbondate in ogni cosa, in fede, e in parola, ed in conoscenza, e in ogni studio, e nella carità vostra inverso noi; fate che abbondiate ancora in questa grazia. ⁸ Io non lo dico per comandamento; ma per lo studio degli altri, facendo prova ancora della schiettezza della vostra carità. ⁹ Perciocchè voi sapete la grazia del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, come, essendo ricco, si è fatto povero per voi; acciocchè voi arricchiste per la sua povertà. ¹⁰ E do consiglio in questo; perciocchè questo è utile a voi, i quali non soltanto avete cominciato a fare, ma già ne avevate l’intenzione, fin dall’anno passato. ¹¹ Ora, compiete dunque eziandio il fare; acciocchè, come vi è stata la prontezza del volere, così ancora vi sia il compiere secondo il vostro avere. ¹² Perciocchè, se vi è la prontezza dell’animo, uno è accettevole secondo ciò ch’egli ha, e non secondo ciò ch’egli non ha. ¹³ Poichè questo non si fa acciocchè vi sia alleggiamento per altri, ed aggravio per voi; ma, per far par pari, al tempo presente le vostra abbondanza sarà impiegata a sovvenire alla loro inopia. ¹⁴ Acciocchè altresì la loro abbondanza sia impiegata a sovvenire alla vostra inopia; affinchè vi sia ugualità; secondo che è scritto: ¹⁵ Chi ne avea raccolto assai, non n’ebbe di soverchio; e chi poco, non n’ebbe mancamento.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ chiedendoci con molte istanze la grazia di contribuire a questa sovvenzione destinata ai santi. ⁵ E l’hanno fatto non solo come avevamo sperato; ma prima si sono dati loro stessi al Signore, e poi a noi, per la volontà di Dio. ⁶ Talché abbiamo esortato Tito che, come l’ha già cominciata, così porti a compimento fra voi anche quest’opera di carità. ⁷ Ma siccome voi abbondate in ogni cosa, in fede, in parola, in conoscenza, in ogni zelo e nell’amore che avete per noi, vedete d’abbondare anche in quest’opera di carità. ⁸ Non lo dico per darvi un ordine, ma per mettere alla prova, con l’esempio dell’altrui premura, anche la schiettezza del vostro amore. ⁹ Perché voi conoscete la carità del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo il quale, essendo ricco, s’è fatto povero per amor vostro, onde, mediante la sua povertà, voi poteste diventar ricchi. ¹⁰ E qui vi do un consiglio; il che conviene a voi i quali fin dall’anno passato avete per i primi cominciato non solo a fare ma anche a volere: ¹¹ Portate ora a compimento anche il fare; onde, come ci fu la prontezza del volere, così ci sia anche il compiere secondo i vostri mezzi. ¹² Poiché, se c’è la prontezza dell’animo, essa è gradita in ragione di quello che uno ha, e non di quello che non ha. ¹³ Poiché questo non si fa per recar sollievo ad altri ed aggravio a voi, ma per principio di uguaglianza; ¹⁴ nelle attuali circostanze, la vostra abbondanza serve a supplire al loro bisogno, onde la loro abbondanza supplisca altresì al bisogno vostro, affinché ci sia uguaglianza, secondo che è scritto: ¹⁵ Chi avea raccolto molto non n’ebbe di soverchio, e chi avea raccolto poco, non n’ebbe mancanza.

Japanese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ われ證す、彼らは聖徒に事ふることに與る惠を切に我らに請ひ求め、みづから進みて、力に應じ、否これに過ぎて施濟をなせり。 ⁵ 我らの望のほかに先づ己を主にささげ、神の御意によりて我らにも身を委ねたり。 ⁶ されば我らはテトスが前に此の慈惠のことを汝らの中に始めたれば、又これを成就せんことを勸めたり。 ⁷ 汝等もろもろの事、すなはち信仰に、言に、知識に、凡ての奮勵に、また我らに對する愛に富めるごとく、此の慈惠にも富むべし。 ⁸ われ斯く言ふは汝らに命ずるにあらず、ただ他の人の奮勵によりて、汝らの愛の眞實を試みん爲なり。 ⁹ 汝らは我らの主イエス・キリストの恩惠を知る。即ち富める者にて在したれど、汝等のために貧しき者となり給へり。これ汝らが彼の貧窮によりて富める者とならん爲なり。 ¹⁰ 施濟のことに就きて我ただ意見を述ぶ、これは汝らの益なり。汝らは此の事をただに一年前より人に先だちて行ひしのみならず、又これを願い始めし事なれば、 ¹¹ 今これを成し遂げよ、汝らが心より願ひしごとく、所有に應じて成し遂げよ。 ¹² 人もし志望あらば、其の有たぬ所に由るにあらず、其の有つ所に由りて嘉納せらるるなり。 ¹³ これ他の人を安くして汝らを苦しめんとにあらず、均しくせんとするなり。 ¹⁴ すなはち今なんぢらの餘るところは彼らの足らざるを補ひ、後また彼らの餘る所は汝らの足らざるを補ひて、均しくなるに至らんためなり。 ¹⁵ 録して『多く集めし者にも餘る所なく、少く集めし者にも足らざる所なかりき』とあるが如し。

Latvian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Mūs pierunādami, viņi ļoti lūdza mūsu atļauju piedalīties svēto pabalstīšanā. ⁵ Un pāri mūsu cerībām viņi vispirms ziedoja sevi Kungam un tad mums saskaņā ar Dieva prātu. ⁶ Tad mēs lūdzām Titu: kā viņš iesācis, tā lai arī pabeidz pie jums šo mīlestības darbu. ⁷ Bet tā kā jūs visā esat bagāti: gan ticībā, gan vārdos, gan zināšanā, gan visādos centienos un klāt vēl jūsu mīlestībā iepretim mums, tad esiet bagāti arī šinī mīlestības darbā! ⁸ To es nesaku pavēlēdams, bet, ievērojot citu centību, pārbaudu jūsu mīlestības īstenību. ⁹ Jo jūs zināt mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus žēlastību, ka Viņš, būdams bagāts, jūsu dēļ kļuvis nabags, lai Viņa nabadzībā jūs kļūtu bagāti. ¹⁰ Šinī gadījumā es dodu šādu padomu: tas jums derīgi, ka jūs pagājušā gadā iesākāt nevien ar darbu, bet arī ar labu gribu. ¹¹ Bet tagad izpildiet to arī darbā, lai labprātīgai gribai seko arī izpildīšana no tā, kas jums ir! ¹² Ja laba griba ir, tad tā labpatīkama tanī, kas ir, bet ne no tā, kā nav. ¹³ Jo nedrīkst būt, ka citu atvieglošana jūs novestu trūkumā; te jābūt vienlīdzībai. ¹⁴ Tagadējā laikā jūsu pārpilnība lai palīdz viņu trūkumam, un viņu pārpilnība lai aizpilda jūsu trūkumu, lai būtu vienlīdzība, kā ir rakstīts: ¹⁵ Kam bija daudz, tam nebija pārpilnības; kam bija maz, tas necieta trūkumu.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ prašyte prašė mus, kad mes priimtume dovaną ir jų dalyvavimą tarnavime šventiesiems. ⁵ Ir ne tik taip, kaip mes tikėjomės, bet visų pirma atsidavė Viešpačiui, o paskui Dievo valia ir mums. ⁶ Todėl mes paprašėme Titą, kad taip, kaip pradėjo, taip ir baigtų pas jus šią malonę. ⁷ Tad, būdami visa ko pertekętikėjimo, žodžio, pažinimo, visokeriopo uolumo ir meilės mums, būkite pertekę ir šios malonės. ⁸ Tai sakau ne įsakydamas, bet norėdamas kitų uolumu patikrinti jūsų meilės nuoširdumą. ⁹ Nes jūs pažįstate mūsų Viešpaties Jėzaus Kristaus malonę, jog Jis, būdamas turtingas, dėl jūsų tapo vargšu, kad jūs per Jo neturtą taptumėte turtingi. ¹⁰ Ir čia aš duodu patarimą, nes tai naudinga jums, kurie ne tik pradėjote daryti tai anksčiau, bet ir troškote jau nuo pernai. ¹¹ Taigi dabar pabaikite šį darbą, kad jūsų nuovokus troškimas būtų įvykdytas iš to, ką turite. ¹² Nes jei yra sąmoningas noras, jis priimtinas pagal tai, ką žmogus turi, o ne pagal tai, ko neturi. ¹³ Aš nenoriu, kad kitiems tektų lengvatos, o jums naštos, ¹⁴ bet kad būtų lygybė: kad šiuo metu jūsų perteklius patenkintų jų nepriteklių, o vėliau jų perteklius taip pat patenkintų jūsų nepriteklių ir būtų lygybė, ¹⁵ kaip parašyta: “Kas daug surinko, neturėjo atliekamo, o kas mažainekentėjo nepritekliaus”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Z wielką prośbą nas żądając, abyśmy to dobrodziejstwo i spólne udzielenie, którem się usługuje świętym, przyjęli. ⁵ A nie tylko tak sobie postąpili, jakośmy się spodziewali; ale najprzód samych siebie oddali Panu, potem i nam za wolą Bożą. ⁶ Tak, żeśmy musieli napomnieć Tytusa, aby jako przedtem począł, tak aby też dokonał u was tegoż dobrodziejstwa. ⁷ Przetoż jako we wszystkiem obfitujecie w wierze i w mowie, i w umiejętności, i we wszelakiej pilności, i w miłości waszej przeciwko nam, tak i w tem dobrodziejstwie obfitujcie. ⁸ Nie mówię jako rozkazując, ale przez pilność innych, jako jest szczera miłość wasza, na jawią wystawiając. ⁹ Albowiem znacie łaskę Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa, że dla was stał się ubogim, będąc bogatym, abyście wy ubóstwem jego ubogaceni byli. ¹⁰ A w tem podaję wam zdanie swoje; albowiem to wam jest pożyteczno, którzy nie tylko czynić, ale i chcieć przedtemeście poczęli roku przeszłego. ¹¹ A teraz to, coście czynić poczęli, wykonajcie, aby jako była ochotna myśl ku chceniu, tak też aby było i dokończenie z tego, co macie. ¹² Albowiem jeźli przedtem była ochotna myśl, taż przyjemna jest według tego, co kto ma, a nie według tego, czego nie ma. ¹³ Bo nie chcę, aby insi mieli ulżenie a wy uciśnienie, ale żeby za równo natenczas wasza obfitość ich niedostatkowi usłużyła; ¹⁴ Aby też ich obfitość waszemu niedostatkowi usłużyła, żeby się stało porównanie, ¹⁵ Jako napisane: Kto wiele nazbierał, nie miał nazbyt; a kto mało nazbierał, nie miał mało.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ pedindo-nos, com muito encarecimento, o privilégio de participarem deste serviço a favor dos santos; ⁵ e não somente fizeram como nós esperávamos, mas primeiramente a si mesmos se deram ao Senhor, e a nós pela vontade de Deus; ⁶ de maneira que exortamos a Tito que, assim como antes tinha começado, assim também completasse entre vós ainda esta graça. ⁷ Ora, assim como abundais em tudo: em fé, em palavra, em ciência, em todo o zelo, no vosso amor para connosco, vede que também nesta graça abundeis. ⁸ Não digo isto como quem manda, mas para provar, mediante o zelo de outros, a sinceridade de vosso amor; ⁹ pois conheceis a graça de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que, sendo rico, por amor de vós se fez pobre, para que pela sua pobreza fosseis enriquecidos. ¹⁰ E nisto dou o meu parecer; pois isto vos convém a vós que primeiro começastes, desde o ano passado, não só a participar mas também a querer; ¹¹ agora, pois, levai a termo a obra, para que, assim como houve a prontidão no querer, haja também o cumprir segundo o que tendes. ¹² Porque, se há prontidão de vontade, é aceitável segundo o que alguém tem, e não segundo o que não tem. ¹³ Pois digo isto não para que haja alívio para outros e aperto para vós, ¹⁴ mas para que haja igualdade, suprindo, neste tempo presente, na vossa abundância a falta dos outros, para que também a abundância deles venha a suprir a vossa falta, e assim haja igualdade; ¹⁵ como está escrito: Ao que muito colheu, não sobrou; e ao que pouco colheu, não faltou.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ de bad oss inntrengende om å få lov til å være med i hjelpen til de hellige; ⁵ og de gav ikke bare således som vi håpet, men de gav sig selv først til Herren og til oss ved Guds vilje, ⁶ så vi bad Titus at likesom han før hadde begynt, således skulde han fullende hos eder også dette kjærlighetsverk. ⁷ Men likesom I er rike i alle måter, på tro og på tale og på kunnskap og på all iver og på kjærlighet som I har vakt hos oss, så bli nu og rike i dette kjærlighetsverk! ⁸ Dette sier jeg ikke som et bud, men ved andres iver vil jeg også prøve ektheten av eders kjærlighet. ⁹ For I kjenner vår Herre Jesu Kristi nåde, at han for eders skyld blev fattig da han var rik, forat I ved hans fattigdom skulde bli rike. ¹⁰ Og jeg sier min mening i denne sak; for dette er til gagn for eder, I som alt før, fra ifjor av, begynte ikke bare å virke, men og å ville. ¹¹ Men fullfør nu også verket, forat fullførelsen må svare til viljens redebonhet, efter eders evne! ¹² For er redebonheten forhånden, da er den velbehagelig efter det den har, og ikke efter det den ikke har. ¹³ For dette sier jeg, ikke forat andre skal ha lettelse og I trengsel, ¹⁴ men forat det skal være likelighet; i den nuværende tid kommer eders overflod deres trang til hjelp, forat også deres overflod må komme eders trang til hjelp, forat det må være likelighet, ¹⁵ som skrevet står: Den som sanket meget, hadde ikke overflod, og den som sanket lite, hadde ikke trang.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Şi ne-au rugat cu mari stăruinţe pentru harul şi părtăşia la această strîngere de ajutoare pentru sfinţi. ⁵ Şi au făcut aceasta nu numai cum nădăjduisem, dar s'au dat mai întîi pe ei înşişi Domnului, şi apoi nouă, prin voia lui Dumnezeu. ⁶ Noi dar, am rugat pe Tit să isprăvească această strîngere de ajutoare, pe care o începuse. ⁷ După cum sporiţi în toate lucrurile: în credinţă, în cuvînt, în cunoştinţă, în orice rîvnă, şi în dragostea voastră pentru noi, căutaţi să sporiţi şi în această binefacere. ⁸ Nu spun lucrul acesta ca să vă dau o poruncă; ci pentru rîvna altora, şi ca să pun la încercare curăţia dragostei voastre. ⁹ Căci cunoaşteţi harul Domnului nostru Isus Hristos. El, măcar că era bogat, s'a făcut sărac pentru voi, pentruca prin sărăcia Lui, voi să vă îmbogăţiţi. ¹⁰ În această privinţă vă dau un sfat. Şi sfatul acesta vă este de folos vouă, cari, de acum un an, cei dintîi aţi început nu numai să faceţi, ci să şi voiţi. ¹¹ Isprăviţi dar acum de făcut; pentruca, după graba voinţei să fie şi înfăptuirea, potrivit cu mijloacele voastre. ¹² Pentrucă, dacă este bunăvoinţă, darul este primit, avîndu-se în vedere ce are cineva, nu ce n'are. ¹³ Aici nu este vorba ca alţii să fie uşuraţi, iar voi strîmtoraţi; ¹⁴ ci este vorba de o potrivire: în împrejurarea de acum, prisosul vostru să acopere nevoile lor, pentruca şi prisosul lor să acopere, la rîndul lui, nevoile voastre, aşa ca să fie o potrivire; ¹⁵ după cum este scris:,,Cel ce strînsese mult, n'avea nimic de prisos, şi cel ce strînsese puţin, nu ducea lipsă.``
