Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:1 - But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:2 - that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their free-hearted liberality.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:3 - For according to their power, I bear witness, and beyond their power, they were willing of their own accord,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:4 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:5 - And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:6 - So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:7 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:8 - I do not speak as commanding it, but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:9 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:10 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:11 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:12 - For if the readiness be there, a man is accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:13 - For it is not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:14 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:15 - According as it is written, He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little was nothing short.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:16 - But thanks be to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:17 - For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:18 - but we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:19 - and not only so, but is also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and a witness of our readiness;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:20 - avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us;
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:21 - for we provide for things honest, not only before the Lord, but also before men.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:22 - And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence he has as to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:23 - Whether as regards Titus, he is my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, they are deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 8:24 - Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
