YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Moreover
, brethren, we
do
you
to
wit
of
the grace of God bestowed
on
the churches
of Macedonia ;
And
we
make
known
to
you
, brethren, the grace of God ,
that
hath
been
given
in
the assemblies
of Macedonia ,
How
that
in a
great
trial of affliction
the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded
unto
the riches of their liberality .
because
in much
trial of tribulation
the abundance of their joy ,
and their deep poverty ,
did
abound
to
the riches of their liberality ;
For
to their power, I bear
record,
yea
, and beyond
their power they were willing of themselves ;
because,
according
to `
their '
power, I testify
, and above
`
their '
power ,
they were willing of themselves ,
Praying
us
with much intreaty
that
we
would
receive the gift,
and take
upon
us
the fellowship of the ministering
to the saints .
with much entreaty
calling
on
us
to
receive the favour
and the fellowship of the ministration
to the saints ,
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 .
and not according
as we expected
, but themselves
they
did
give
first to the Lord, and to
us ,
through
the will of God ,
Insomuch
that we desired
Titus, that as he had
begun
, so he
would
also finish in
you the
same
grace
also .
so
that we exhorted
Titus, that ,
according
as he did
begin
before
, so also he
may
finish to
you also this
favour,
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.
but
even
as in every thing ye
do
abound
, in faith, and word
, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also
in this grace ye
may
abound;
I speak not
by
commandment
, but by
occasion
of the forwardness
of others, and to
prove
the
sincerity
of your love .
not
according
to
command
do
I speak, but because
of the diligence
of others, and of your love proving
the
genuineness,
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.
for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because
of
you
he became poor --
being
rich
, that ye by
that
poverty may
become
rich.
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 .
and an
opinion
in
this
do
I give: for this to
you
`
is '
expedient, who not only to do, but also to will,
did
begin
before
--
a year ago ,
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 .
and
now also
finish
doing `
it ',
that even
as `
there is'
the
readiness of
the
will, so also the
finishing,
out of that which ye have ,
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 .
for if the
willing mind is present,
according to that which
any
one
may
have
it
is
well-accepted
, not according to that which
he hath not ;
For I
mean
not that other
men
be
eased
, and ye burdened:
for not that for
others
release
, and ye pressured,
`do
I
speak,'
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 :
but by equality, at the
present
time your abundance --
for their want, that also
their abundance may be for your want ,
that there may be equality ,
As it is
written, He that
had
gathered
much had nothing over; and he that
had
gathered
little had no lack.
according
as it hath
been
written, `
He who
`did
gather'
much ,
had nothing over; and he who
`did
gather'
little ,
had no lack. '
But
thanks be
to God, which
put
the same earnest
care
into
the heart of Titus for
you.
And
thanks to God, who
is
putting
the same diligence
for
you
in
the heart of Titus ,
For
indeed he
accepted
the exhortation ;
but
being more forward
, of his own accord he went unto you .
because
indeed the exhortation he
accepted,
and
being more diligent
, of his own accord he went forth
unto you ,
And we have
sent with him the brother, whose praise is
in the gospel
throughout
all the churches;
and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good
news
`is'
through
all the assemblies,
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 :
and not only so
, but who was also appointed
by
vote
by
the assemblies,
our
fellow-traveller,
with this favour
that
is ministered
by us ,
unto
the glory of the same Lord, and your willing
mind ;
Avoiding this, that
no
man
should
blame us in this abundance which
is administered
by us :
avoiding this, lest
any
one
may
blame us in this abundance that
is ministered
by us ,
Providing for
honest
things, not only in
the
sight
of
the Lord, but also in
the
sight
of
men .
providing right
things, not only before
the Lord, but also before
men ;
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 .
and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many
times
being
diligent
, and
now much more diligent, by
the great confidence that
is
toward
you ,
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 .
whether --
about
Titus --
my partner and towards
you fellow-worker,
whether
--
our brethren, apostles
of assemblies
--
glory of Christ ;
Wherefore
shew
ye
to
them,
and
before
the churches,
the
proof
of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
the shewing
therefore
of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf ,
to
them
shew
ye,
even
in
the
face
of
the
assemblies
.
