1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the
      grace of God bestowed on the churches of
      Macedonia;
       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.
       3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and
      beyond their power they were willing of
      themselves;
       4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would
      receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship
      of the ministering to the saints.
       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.
       6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had
      begun, so he would also finish in you the same
      grace also.
       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.
       8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of
      the forwardness of others, and to prove the
      sincerity of your love.
       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.
      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.
      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.
      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.
      13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye
      burdened:
      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:
      15 As it is written, He that had gathered much
      had nothing over; and he that had gathered little
      had no lack.
      16 But thanks be to God, which put the same
      earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
      17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but
      being more forward, of his own accord he went
      unto you.
      18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose
      praise is in the gospel throughout all the
      churches;
      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:
      20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in
      this abundance which is administered by us:
      21 Providing for honest things, not only in the
      sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
      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.
      23 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my
      partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our
      brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers
      of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
      24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the
      churches, the proof of your love, and of our
      boasting on your behalf.
