2 Corinthians 8
- 1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;
- 2 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
- 3 For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
- 4 beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:
- 5 and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
- 6 Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.
- 7 But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
- 8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also 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 become rich.
- 10 And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.
- 11 But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
- 12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not.
- 13 For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed;
- 14 but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality:
- 15 as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack.
- 16 But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
- 17 For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.
- 18 And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel is spread through all the churches;
- 19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and to show our readiness:
- 20 avoiding this, that any man should blame us in the matter of this bounty which is ministered by us:
- 21 for we take thought for things honorable, 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 many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he hath in you.
- 23 Whether any inquire about Titus, he is my partner and my fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, they are the messengers of the churches, they are the glory of Christ.
- 24 Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
