How that in a great G4183 trial G1382 of affliction G2347 the abundance G4050 of their joy G5479 and their deep G899 poverty G4432 abounded G4052 to the riches G4149 of their liberality. G572

For to their power, G1411 I bear G3140 record, G3140 yes, and beyond G5228 their power G1411 they were willing G830 of themselves; G830

Both riches H6239 and honor H3519 come of you, and you reign H4910 over H4605 all; H3605 and in your hand H3027 is power H3581 and might; H1369 and in your hand H3027 it is to make great, H1431 and to give strength H2388 to all. H3605

But who H4310 am I, and what H4310 is my people, H5971 that we should be able H6113 H3581 to offer so willingly H5068 after this H2063 sort? for all H3605 things come of you, and of your own have we given H5414 you.

And Azariah H5838 the chief H7218 priest H3548 of the house H1004 of Zadok H6659 answered H559 him, and said, H559 Since the people began H2490 to bring H935 the offerings H8641 into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 we have had enough H7646 to eat, H398 and have left H3498 plenty: H7230 for the LORD H3068 has blessed H1288 his people; H5971 and that which is left H3498 is this H2088 great store. H1995

Honor H3513 the LORD H3068 with your substance, H1952 and with the first fruits H7225 of all H3605 your increase: H8393

So shall your barns H618 be filled H4390 with plenty, H7647 and your presses H3342 shall burst H6555 out with new H8492 wine. H8492

Bring H935 you all H3605 the tithes H4643 into H413 the storehouse, H214 that there may be meat H2964 in my house, H1004 and prove H974 me now H4994 herewith, H2063 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 if I will not open H6605 you the windows H699 of heaven, H8064 and pour H7324 you out a blessing, H1293 that there shall not be room enough H1767 to receive it.

And I will rebuke H1605 the devourer H398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroy H7843 the fruits H6529 of your ground; H127 neither H3808 shall your vine H1612 cast H7921 her fruit H7921 before the time in the field, H7704 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

Charge G3853 them that are rich G4145 in this G3588 G3568 world, G165 that they be not high minded, G5309 nor G3366 trust G1679 in uncertain G83 riches, G4149 but in the living G2198 God, G2316 who G3588 gives G3930 us richly G4146 all G3956 things to enjoy; G619

That they do G14 good, G14 that they be rich G4147 in good G2570 works, G2041 ready G2130 to distribute, G2130 willing G2843 to communicate; G2843

How that in a great G4183 trial G1382 of affliction G2347 the abundance G4050 of their joy G5479 and their deep G899 poverty G4432 abounded G4052 to the riches G4149 of their liberality. G572

Or G1535 he that exhorts, G3870 on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he that gives, G3330 let him do it with simplicity; G572 he that rules, G4291 with diligence; G4710 he that shows G1653 mercy, G1653 with cheerfulness. G2432

For the administration G1248 of this G5026 service G3009 not only G3440 supplies G4322 the want G5303 of the saints, G40 but is abundant G4052 also G2532 by many G4183 thanksgivings G2169 to God; G2316

You also G2532 helping G4943 together G4943 by prayer G1162 for us, that for the gift G5486 bestowed on us by the means of many G4183 persons G4383 thanks G2168 may be given by many G4183 on G5228 our behalf. G5228

For all G3956 things are for your G5209 sakes, that the abundant G4121 grace G5485 might through G1223 the thanksgiving G2169 of many G4119 redound G4052 to the glory G1391 of God. G2316

But thanks G5485 be to God, G2316 which G3588 put G1325 the same G846 earnest G4710 care G4710 into G1722 the heart G2588 of Titus G5103 for you.

And not that only, G3440 but who was also G2532 chosen G5500 of the churches G1577 to travel G4898 with us with this G5124 grace, G5485 which G3588 is administered G1247 by us to the glory G1391 of the same G3778 Lord, G2962 and declaration of your G5216 ready G4288 mind: G4288
