II Corinthians 8:22
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; |
||
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: |
||
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. |
||
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. |
||
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: |
||
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. |
||
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. |
