KJV ¹ Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

TR1550 ¹ γνωρίζομεν δὲ ὑμῖν ἀδελφοί τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δεδομένην ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς μακεδονίας

KJV ² How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

TR1550 ² ὅτι ἐν πολλῇ δοκιμῇ θλίψεως ἡ περισσεία τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ κατὰ βάθους πτωχεία αὐτῶν ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς ἁπλότητος αὐτῶν

KJV ³ For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

TR1550 ³ ὅτι κατὰ δύναμιν μαρτυρῶ καὶ ὑπὲρ δύναμιν αὐθαίρετοι

KJV ⁴ Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

TR1550 ⁴ μετὰ πολλῆς παρακλήσεως δεόμενοι ἡμῶν τὴν χάριν καὶ τὴν κοινωνίαν τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους δέξασθαι ἡμᾶς

KJV ⁵ And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

TR1550 ⁵ καὶ οὐ καθὼς ἠλπίσαμεν ἀλλ᾽ ἑαυτοὺς ἔδωκαν πρῶτον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἡμῖν διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ

KJV ⁶ Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

TR1550 ⁶ εἰς τὸ παρακαλέσαι ἡμᾶς τίτον ἵνα καθὼς προενήρξατο οὕτως καὶ ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν χάριν ταύτην

KJV 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.

TR1550 ⁷ ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ ἐν παντὶ περισσεύετε πίστει καὶ λόγῳ καὶ γνώσει καὶ πάσῃ σπουδῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμῖν ἀγάπῃ ἵνα καὶ ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ χάριτι περισσεύητε

KJV ⁸ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

TR1550 ⁸ οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν λέγω ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων σπουδῆς καὶ τὸ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀγάπης γνήσιον δοκιμάζων

KJV 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.

TR1550 ⁹ γινώσκετε γὰρ τὴν χάριν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ὅτι δι᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐπτώχευσεν πλούσιος ὤν ἵνα ὑμεῖς τῇ ἐκείνου πτωχείᾳ πλουτήσητε

KJV 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.

TR1550 ¹⁰ καὶ γνώμην ἐν τούτῳ δίδωμι τοῦτο γὰρ ὑμῖν συμφέρει οἵτινες οὐ μόνον τὸ ποιῆσαι ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ θέλειν προενήρξασθε ἀπὸ πέρυσι

KJV 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.

TR1550 ¹¹ νυνὶ δὲ καὶ τὸ ποιῆσαι ἐπιτελέσατε ὅπως καθάπερ ἡ προθυμία τοῦ θέλειν οὕτως καὶ τὸ ἐπιτελέσαι ἐκ τοῦ ἔχειν

KJV 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.

TR1550 ¹² εἰ γὰρ ἡ προθυμία πρόκειται καθὸ ἐὰν ἔχῃ τις εὐπρόσδεκτος οὐ καθὸ οὐκ ἔχει

KJV ¹³ For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

TR1550 ¹³ οὐ γὰρ ἵνα ἄλλοις ἄνεσις ὑμῖν δὲ θλῖψις ἀλλ᾽ ἐξ ἰσότητος ἕν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ τό ὑμῶν περίσσευμα εἴς τό ἐκείνων ὑστέρημά

KJV 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:

TR1550 ¹⁴ ἵνα καὶ τὸ ἐκείνων περίσσευμα γένηται εἰς τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα ὅπως γένηται ἰσότης

KJV ¹⁵ As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

TR1550 ¹⁵ καθὼς γέγραπται ὁ τὸ πολὺ οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν καὶ ὁ τὸ ὀλίγον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν

KJV ¹⁶ But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

TR1550 ¹⁶ χάρις δὲ τῷ θεῷ τῷ διδόντι τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τίτου

KJV ¹⁷ For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

TR1550 ¹⁷ ὅτι τὴν μὲν παράκλησιν ἐδέξατο σπουδαιότερος δὲ ὑπάρχων αὐθαίρετος ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς

KJV ¹⁸ And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;

TR1550 ¹⁸ συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ διὰ πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν

KJV ¹⁹ And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

TR1550 ¹⁹ οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ χειροτονηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν συνέκδημος ἡμῶν σὺν τῇ χάριτι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ κυρίου δόξαν καὶ προθυμίαν ὑμῶν

KJV ²⁰ Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

TR1550 ²⁰ στελλόμενοι τοῦτο μή τις ἡμᾶς μωμήσηται ἐν τῇ ἁδρότητι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν

KJV ²¹ Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

TR1550 ²¹ προνοοῦμενοι καλὰ οὐ μόνον ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων

KJV ²² And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

TR1550 ²² συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ αὐτοῖς τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν ὃν ἐδοκιμάσαμεν ἐν πολλοῖς πολλάκις σπουδαῖον ὄντα νυνὶ δὲ πολὺ σπουδαιότερον πεποιθήσει πολλῇ τῇ εἰς ὑμᾶς

KJV ²³ Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

TR1550 ²³ εἴτε ὑπὲρ τίτου κοινωνὸς ἐμὸς καὶ εἰς ὑμᾶς συνεργός εἴτε ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἀπόστολοι ἐκκλησιῶν δόξα χριστοῦ

KJV ²⁴ Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

TR1550 ²⁴ τὴν οὖν ἔνδειξιν τῆς ἀγάπης ὑμῶν καὶ ἡμῶν καυχήσεως ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν εἰς αὐτοὺς ἐνδειξασθε καὶ εἰς πρόσωπον τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν
