8:1 Moreouer,
brethren,
wee
do
you
to
wit
of
the
grace
of
God
bestowed
on
the
Churches
of
Macedonia,
8:2 How
that
in
a
great
trial
of
affliction,
the
abundance
of
their
ioy,
and
their
deepe
pouertie,
abounded
vnto
the
riches
of
their
liberalitie.
8:3 For
to
their
power
(I
beare
record)
yea,
and
beyond
their
power
they
were
willing
of
themselues:
8:4 Praying
vs
with
much
entreatie,
that
we
would
receiue
the
gift,
and
take
vpon
vs
the
fellowship
of
the
ministring
to
the
Saints.
8:5 And
this
they
did,
not
as
we
hoped,
but
first
gaue
their
owne
selues
to
the
Lord,
and
vnto
vs,
by
the
will
of
God.
8:6 In
so
much
that
wee
desired
Titus,
that
as
he
had
begun,
so
hee
would
also
finish
in
you,
the
same
grace
also.
8:7 Therefore
(as
ye
abound
in
euery
thing,
in
faith,
and
vtterance,
&
knowledge,
and
in
all
diligence,
and
in
your
loue
to
vs)
see
that
yee
abound
in
this
grace
also.
8:8 I
speake
not
by
commandement,
but
by
occasion
of
the
forwardnesse
of
others,
and
to
prooue
the
sinceritie
of
your
loue.
8:9 For
yee
know
the
grace
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
that
though
he
was
rich,
yet
for
your
sakes
he
became
poore,
that
yee
through
his
pouertie
might
be
rich.
8:10 And
herein
I
giue
my
aduice,
for
this
is
expedient
for
you,
who
haue
begun
before,
not
onely
to
doe,
but
also
to
be
forward
a
yeere
agoe.
8:11 Now
therefore
performe
the
doing
of
it,
that
as
there
was
a
readinesse
to
will,
so
there
may
be
a
performance
also
out
of
that
which
you
haue.
8:12 For
if
there
bee
first
a
willing
minde,
it
is
accepted
according
to
that
a
man
hath,
and
not
according
to
that
he
hath
not.
8:13 For
I
meane
not
that
other
men
bee
eased,
and
you
burthened:
8:14 But
by
an
equalitie:
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
equalitie,
8:15 As
it
is
written,
Hee
that
had
gathered
much,
had
nothing
ouer,
and
hee
that
had
gathered
little,
had
no
lacke.
8:16 But
thankes
bee
to
God
which
put
the
same
earnest
care
into
the
heart
of
Titus
for
you.
8:17 For
indeed
he
accepted
the
exhortation,
but
being
more
forward,
of
his
owne
accord
he
went
vnto
you.
8:18 And
wee
haue
sent
with
him
the
brother,
whose
praise
is
in
the
Gospel,
throughout
all
the
Churches.
8:19 And
not
that
onely,
but
who
was
also
chosen
of
the
Churches
to
trauaile
with
vs
with
this
grace
which
is
administred
by
vs
to
the
glorie
of
the
same
Lord,
and
declaration
of
your
readie
minde.
8:20 Auoyding
this,
that
no
man
should
blame
vs
in
this
aboundance
which
is
administred
by
vs.
8:21 Prouiding
for
honest
things,
not
onely
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
in
the
sight
of
men.
8:22 And
we
haue
sent
with
them
our
brother,
whom
wee
haue
often
times
proued
diligent
in
many
things,
but
now
much
more
diligent,
vpon
the
great
confidence
which
I
haue
in
you.
8:23 Whether
any
doe
enquire
of
Titus;
he
is
my
partner
and
fellow
helper
concerning
you:
or
our
brethren
bee
enquired
of,
they
are
the
messengers
of
the
Churches,
and
the
glorie
of
Christ.
8:24 Wherefore
shew
ye
to
them,
and
before
the
Churches,
the
proofe
of
your
loue,
&
of
our
boasting
on
your
behalfe.
