King James Version with Apocrypha
1γνωριζομεν δε υμιν αδελφοι την χαριν του θεου την δεδομενην εν ταισ εκκλησιαισ τησ μακεδονιασ
1Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2οτι εν πολλη δοκιμη θλιψεωσ η περισσεια τησ χαρασ αυτων και η κατα βαθουσ πτωχεια αυτων επερισσευσεν εισ τον πλουτον τησ απλοτητοσ αυτων
2How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3οτι κατα δυναμιν μαρτυρω και υπερ δυναμιν αυθαιρετοι
3For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4μετα πολλησ παρακλησεωσ δεομενοι ημων την χαριν και την κοινωνιαν τησ διακονιασ τησ εισ τουσ αγιουσ
4Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5και ου καθωσ ηλπισαμεν αλλ εαυτουσ εδωκαν πρωτον τω κυριω και ημιν δια θεληματοσ θεου
5And this they did , not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6εισ το παρακαλεσαι ημασ τιτον ινα καθωσ προενηρξατο ουτωσ και επιτελεση εισ υμασ και την χαριν ταυτην
6Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7αλλ ωσπερ εν παντι περισσευετε πιστει και λογω και γνωσει και παση σπουδη και τη εξ υμων εν ημιν αγαπη ινα και εν ταυτη τη χαριτι περισσευητε
7Therefore, 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.
8ου κατ επιταγην λεγω αλλα δια τησ ετερων σπουδησ και το τησ υμετερασ αγαπησ γνησιον δοκιμαζων
8I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9γινωσκετε γαρ την χαριν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου οτι δι υμασ επτωχευσεν πλουσιοσ ων ινα υμεισ τη εκεινου πτωχεια πλουτησητε
9For 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.
10και γνωμην εν τουτω διδωμι τουτο γαρ υμιν συμφερει οιτινεσ ου μονον το ποιησαι αλλα και το θελειν προενηρξασθε απο περυσι
10And 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.
11νυνι δε και το ποιησαι επιτελεσατε οπωσ καθαπερ η προθυμια του θελειν ουτωσ και το επιτελεσαι εκ του εχειν
11Now 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.
12ει γαρ η προθυμια προκειται καθο εαν εχη τισ ευπροσδεκτοσ ου καθο ουκ εχει
12For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13ου γαρ ινα αλλοισ ανεσισ υμιν δε θλιψισ αλλ εξ ισοτητοσ εν τω νυν καιρω το υμων περισσευμα εισ το εκεινων υστερημα
13For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14ινα και το εκεινων περισσευμα γενηται εισ το υμων υστερημα οπωσ γενηται ισοτησ
14But 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:
15καθωσ γεγραπται ο το πολυ ουκ επλεονασεν και ο το ολιγον ουκ ηλαττονησεν
15As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16χαρισ δε τω θεω τω διδοντι την αυτην σπουδην υπερ υμων εν τη καρδια τιτου
16But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17οτι την μεν παρακλησιν εδεξατο σπουδαιοτεροσ δε υπαρχων αυθαιρετοσ εξηλθεν προσ υμασ
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18συνεπεμψαμεν δε μετ αυτου τον αδελφον ου ο επαινοσ εν τω ευαγγελιω δια πασων των εκκλησιων
18And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19ου μονον δε αλλα και χειροτονηθεισ υπο των εκκλησιων συνεκδημοσ ημων συν τη χαριτι ταυτη τη διακονουμενη υφ ημων προσ την αυτου του κυριου δοξαν και προθυμιαν ημων
19And 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:
20στελλομενοι τουτο μη τισ ημασ μωμησηται εν τη αδροτητι ταυτη τη διακονουμενη υφ ημων
20Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21προνοουμενοι καλα ου μονον ενωπιον κυριου αλλα και ενωπιον ανθρωπων
21Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22συνεπεμψαμεν δε αυτοισ τον αδελφον ημων ον εδοκιμασαμεν εν πολλοισ πολλακισ σπουδαιον οντα νυνι δε πολυ σπουδαιοτερον πεποιθησει πολλη τη εισ υμασ
22And 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.
23ειτε υπερ τιτου κοινωνοσ εμοσ και εισ υμασ συνεργοσ ειτε αδελφοι ημων αποστολοι εκκλησιων δοξα χριστου
23Whether 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.
24την ουν ενδειξιν τησ αγαπησ υμων και ημων καυχησεωσ υπερ υμων εισ αυτουσ ενδειξασθε εισ προσωπον των εκκλησιων
24Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
