So G5620 that you were ensamples G5179 to all G3956 that believe G4100 in Macedonia G3109 and Achaia. G882

Moreover, G1161 brothers, G80 we do G1107 you to wit G1107 of the grace G5485 of God G2316 bestowed G1325 on G1722 the churches G1577 of Macedonia; G3109

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

I speak G3004 not by commandment, G2003 but by occasion G1223 of the forwardness G4710 of others, G2087 and to prove G1381 the sincerity G1103 of your G5212 love. G26

And herein G1722 G5129 I give G1325 my advice: G1106 for this G5124 is expedient G4851 for you, who G3748 have begun G4278 before, G4278 not only G3440 to do, G4160 but also G2532 to be forward G2309 a year G4070 ago. G575

Why G1223 G5124 I also, G2504 after I heard G191 of your G5209 faith G4102 in the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 and love G26 to all G3956 the saints, G40

Since we heard G191 of your G5216 faith G4102 in Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 and of the love G26 which G3588 you have to all G3956 the saints, G40

We are bound G3784 to thank G2168 God G2316 always G3842 for you, brothers, G80 as it is meet, G514 because G3754 that your G5216 faith G4102 grows G5232 exceedingly, and the charity G26 of every G1538 one G1520 of you all G3956 toward G1519 each G240 other G240 abounds; G4121

Hearing G191 of your love G26 and faith, G4102 which G3739 you have G2192 toward G4314 the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 and toward G1519 all G3956 saints; G40

For we have G2192 great G4183 joy G5485 and consolation G3874 in your love, G26 because G3754 the bowels G4698 of the saints G40 are refreshed G373 by you, brother. G80

Furthermore G3063 then G3767 we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 and exhort G3870 you by the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 that as you have G2192 received G3880 of us how G4459 you ought G1163 to walk G4043 and to please G700 God, G2316 so you would abound G4052 more G3123 and more. G3123

And the Lord G2962 make G4121 you to increase G4121 and abound G4052 in love G25 one G240 toward G1519 another, G240 and toward G1519 all G3956 men, even G2532 as we do toward G1519 you:

And this G5124 I pray, G4336 that your G5216 love G26 may abound G4052 yet G2089 more G3123 and more G3123 in knowledge G1922 and in all G3956 judgment; G144

Brothers, G80 I count G3049 not myself to have apprehended: G2638 but this one G1520 thing G1520 I do, forgetting G1950 those G3588 things which are behind, G3694 and reaching G1901 forth G1901 to those G3588 things which are before, G1715

Let us therefore, G3767 as many G3745 as be perfect, G5046 be thus G5124 minded: G5426 and if G1487 in any G1536 thing you be otherwise G2088 minded, G5426 God G2316 shall reveal G601 even G2532 this G5124 to you.

But grow G837 in grace, G5485 and in the knowledge G1108 of our Lord G2962 and Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 To him be glory G1391 both G2532 now G3568 and for ever. G2250 G165 Amen. G281
