RF CO2 8:1 Collections for the Poor.
But now I will inform you, brethren, of the gift of God bestowed upon the assemblies of Macedonia;
RF CO2 8:2 because of the overflow of their kindness which, during a great trial of affliction, and notwithstanding their very deep poverty, has poured out in the wealth of their generosity;
RF CO2 8:3 so that according to their ability—and I give evidence beyond their ability—they volunteered.
RF CO2 8:4 With much urgency they begged of us to convey the gift, and undertake the distribution of it to the saints.
RF CO2 8:5 And not that we had expected it; but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
RF CO2 8:6 We therefore encouraged Titus that as he had begun, he should also finish concerning your contribution.
RF CO2 8:7 However, as you excel in everything—in faith, and reason, and knowledge, and in all readiness, and in your love toward us—so also you might excel in this contribution.
RF CO2 8:8 I do not speak imperatively; but by relating the readiness of others, want a genuine proof of your friendship.
RF CO2 8:9 For you should look upon the beneficence of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, when existing in wealth, impoverished Himself for you, so that you might be enriched by His poverty.
RF CO2 8:10 And I give my opinion about this; for it may assist you, who not only originated the work, but also the idea, above a year ago.
RF CO2 8:11 And now, then, complete the matter; so that as you had the desire to form it, you may also complete it according to your means.
RF CO2 8:12 For if the desire exists, it is acceptable according to what one may possess; not according to what is not possessed.
RF CO2 8:13 Yet assistance to others will not be affliction to yourselves;
RF CO2 8:14 but equitably at this present period of your abundance you assist them in their needs: then also from their abundance something will be produced for you when in necessity; so it will be equalized.
RF CO2 8:15 As it is written: THOSE HAVING MUCH WERE NOT OVER-FED; AND THOSE HAVING LITTLE WERE NOT STARVED.1
RF CO2 8:16 But thank God, Who gave the same earnestness to the heart of Titus for you.
RF CO2 8:17 He gladly accepted it, and, impatient to begin, he started to you voluntarily,
RF CO2 8:18 But we have sent with him the brother who is admired for preaching the gospel through all the assemblies.
RF CO2 8:19 And not that only; but he was also selected by the assemblies as our fellow-traveler, to attend to this benevolence, for the honour of the Lord, and by our desire.
RF CO2 8:20 I steer in this way, lest any one should slander us for our excessive activity in this affair;
RF CO2 8:21 taking care to stand well, not only before the Lord, but also before men.
RF CO2 8:22 And we have sent together with them our brother, whom we have always found to be active, but at present much more earnest by the great confidence he has in you.
RF CO2 8:23 As for Titus, he is my friend and fellow-worker among you; and our brothers are messengers from the assemblies approved of Christ.
RF CO2 8:24 You should therefore show to them the proof of your love, and of our pride concerning you in the presence of all the assemblies.
