Chap. VIII.
By the example of the poore Macedonians he exhorteth them to contribute largely vnto
the Church of Hierusalem, 7 and by praising of them, 9 and by the example of
Christ. 14 and by their ovvne spiritual profite in being partakers of that
Churches merites, 16 and by commending the collectors that he sendeth.
1 And vve doe you to vnderstand, brethren, the
grace of God, that is giuen in the churches of
Macedonia,
2 that in much experience of tribulation
they had aboundance of ioy, & their
very deepe pouertie abounded vnto the riches
of their simplicitie,
3 for according to their povver (I giue
them testimonie) and aboue their povver they vvere willing,
4 vvith much exhortation requesting vs the grace and communication
of the ministerie that is done tovvard the saincts.
5 And not as vve hoped, but their ovvne selues they gaue,
first to our Lord, note then to vs by the vvil of God:
6 in so
much that vve desired Titus, that as he began, so also he
vvould perfit in you this grace also.
7 But as in al things you
abound in faith, and vvord, and knovvledge, & al carefulnes,
moreouer also in your charitie tovvard vs, that in this grace
also you may abounde.
8 I speake not as commaunding: but
by the carefulnes of others, approuing also the good disposition
of your charitie. note
9 For you knovv the grace of our
Lord Iesvs Christ, that for you he vvas made poore, wheras
he vvas riche: that by his pouertie you might be riche.
10 And in this point I giue counsel: for this is profitable for
you, vvhich haue beg&obar;ne not only to doe, but also to be willing,
from the yere past:
11 but novv perfourme ye it also in
deede: that as your minde is prompt to be vvilling, so it may
be also to perfourme, of that vvhich you haue.
12 For if the
vvil be prompt: it is accepted according to that vvhich it
hath, not according to that vvhich it hath not.
13 For not
that other should haue ease, and you tribulation: but by an
equalitie.
14 Let in this present time your09Q1182 aboundance supplie
their vvant: that their aboundance also may supplie your
vvant, that there be an equalitie,
15 as it is vvritten: He that had
much, abounded not: and he that had litle, vvanted not. &cross4; note
16 noteAnd thankes be to God, that hath giuen the self same
carefulnes for you in the hart of Titus,
17 for that he admitted
in deede exhortation: but being more careful, of his ovvne
-- --
vvil he vvent vnto you.
18 Vve haue sent also vvith him the
brother, vvhose praise is in the Gospel through al the
churches:
19 & not only that, but also he vvas ordeined of the
churches fellovv of our peregrination, for this grace vvhich
is ministred of vs to the glorie of our Lord, and our determined
vvil:
20 auoiding this, lest any man might reprehend
vs in this fulnes that is ministred of vs.
21 For vve prouide
good things note not only before God, but also before men.
22 And vve haue sent vvith them our brother also, vvhom
vve haue proued in many things often to be careful: but now
much more careful, for the great confidence in you,
23 either
for Titus vvhich is my fellovv and coadiutor tovvard you,
or our brethren Apostles of the churches, the glorie of
Christ.
24 The declaration therfore vvhich is of your charitie
and our glorying for you, declare ye tovvard them in
the face of the churches. &cross4;
