      :2 How that in a great 4183 -polus trial 1382 -dokime of

affliction 2347 -thlipsis the abundance 4050 -perisseia of their

ptocheia abounded 4052 -perisseuo unto the riches 4149 -ploutos

of their liberality 0572 -haplotes .

      :3 For to [their] power 1411 -dunamis , I bear 3140 -

martureo record 3140 -martureo , yea, and beyond 5228 -huper

[their] power 1411 -dunamis [they were] willing 0830 -

authairetos of themselves 0830 -authairetos ;

      :4 Praying 1189 -deomai us with much 4183 -polus intreaty

3874 -paraklesis that we would receive 1209 -dechomai the gift

5485 -charis , and [take upon us] the fellowship 2842 -koinonia

      :5 And [this they did], not as we hoped 1679 -elpizo , but

first 4412 -proton gave 1325 -didomi their own selves 1438 -

heautou to the Lord 2962 -kurios , and unto us by the will 2307 -

thelema of God 2316 -theos .

      :6 Insomuch 1519 -eis that we desired 3870 -parakaleo

Titus 5103 -Titos , that as he had begun 4278 -proenarchomai ,

so 3779 -houto he would also 2532 -kai finish 2005 -epiteleo in

you the same 0846 -autos grace 5485 -charis also 2532 -kai .

      :7 Therefore 0235 -alla , as ye abound 4052 -perisseuo in

every 0376 -anaperos [thing, in] faith 4102 -pistis , and

utterance 3056 -logos , and knowledge 1108 -gnosis , and [in]

all 3956 -pas diligence 4710 -spoude , and [in] your 5209 -humas

love 0026 -agape to us, [see] that ye abound 4052 -perisseuo in

this 5124 -touto grace 5485 -charis also 2532 -kai .

      :8 I speak 3004 -lego not by commandment 2003 -epitage ,

but by occasion 1223 -dia of the forwardness 4710 -spoude of

others 2087 -heteros , and to prove 1381 -dokimazo the sincerity

1103 -gnesios of your 5212 -humeteros love 0026 -agape .

      :9 For ye know 1097 -ginosko the grace 5485 -charis of our

Lord 2962 -kurios Jesus 2424 -Iesous Christ 5547 -Christos ,

that, though he was rich 4145 -plousios , yet for your 5216 -

humon sakes he became 4433 -ptocheuo poor 4433 -ptocheuo , that

ye through his poverty 4432 -ptocheia might be rich 4147 -

plouteo .

      :10 And herein 5129 -toutoi I give 1325 -didomi [my]

advice 1106 -gnome : for this 5124 -touto is expedient 4851 -

sumphero for you, who 3748 -hostis have begun 4278 -

proenarchomai before 4278 -proenarchomai , not only 3440 -monon

to do 4160 -poieo , but also 2532 -kai to be forward 2309 -thelo

a year 4070 -perusi ago 0575 -apo .

      :11 Now 3570 -nuni therefore 2532 -kai perform 2005 -

epiteleo the doing 4160 -poieo [of it]; that as [there was] a

readiness 4288 -prothumia to will 2309 -thelo , so 3779 -houto

[there may be] a performance 2005 -epiteleo also 2532 -kai out

of that which ye have 2192 -echo .

      :12 For if there 1487 -ei be first 4295 -prokeimai a

willing 4288 -prothumia mind 4288 -prothumia , [it is] accepted

2144 -euprosdektos according 2526 -katholikos and 2526 katho to

that a man 5100 -tis hath 2192 -echo , [and] not according 2526 -

katholikos and 2526 katho to that he hath 2192 -echo not.

      :13 For [I mean] not that other 0243 -allos men be eased

0425 -anesis , and ye burdened 2347 -thlipsis :

      :14 But by an equality 2471 -isotes , [that] now 3568 -nun

at 1722 -en this 3568 -nun time 2540 -kairos your 5216 -humon

abundance 4051 -perisseuma [may be a supply] for their want 5303

-husterema , that their abundance 4051 -perisseuma also 2532 -

kai may be [a supply] for your 5216 -humon want 5303 -husterema :

 that there may be equality 2471 -isotes :

      :15 As it is written 1125 -grapho , He that [had gathered]

much 4183 -polus had nothing 3756 -ou over 4121 -pleonazo ; and

he that [had gathered] little 3641 -oligos had no 3756 -ou lack

1641 -elattoneo .

      :16 But thanks 5485 -charis [be] to God 2316 -theos ,

4710 -spoude care 4710 -spoude into 1722 -en the heart 2588 -

kardia of Titus 5103 -Titos for you.

      :17 For indeed 3303 -men he accepted 1209 -dechomai the

exhortation 3874 -paraklesis ; but being 5225 -huparcho more

4707 -spoudaioteros forward 4707 -spoudaioteros , of his own
