2 Corinthians - Chapter: 8


8:1	But, britheren, we maken knowun to you the grace of God, that is youun in the chirchis of Macedonye,
8:2	that in myche asaiyng of tribulacioun, the plente of the ioye of hem was, and the hiyeste pouert of hem was plenteuouse `in to the richessis of the symplenesse of hem.
8:3	For Y bere witnessyng to hem, aftir miyt and aboue miyt thei weren wilful,
8:4	with myche monestyng bisechynge vs the grace and the comynyng of mynystring, that is maad to hooli men.
8:5	And not as we hopiden, but thei yauen hem silf first to the Lord, aftirward to vs bi the wille of God.
8:6	So that we preyeden Tite, that as he bigan, so also he performe in you this grace.
8:7	But as ye abounden in alle thingis, in feith, and word, and kunnyng, and al bisynesse, more ouer and in youre charite in to vs, that and in this grace ye abounden.
8:8	Y seie not as comaundinge, but bi the bisynesse of othere men appreuynge also the good wit of youre charite.
8:9	And ye witen the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, for he was maad nedi for you, whanne he was riche, that ye schulden be maad riche bi his nedynesse.
8:10	And Y yyue counsel in this thing; for this is profitable to you, that not oneli han bigunne to do, but also ye bigunnen to haue wille fro the formere yere.
8:11	But now parfourme ye in deed, that as the discrecioun of wille is redi, so be it also of parformyng of that that ye han.
8:12	For if the wille be redi, it is acceptid aftir that that it hath, not aftir that that it hath not.
8:13	And not that it be remyssioun to othere men, and to you tribulacioun;
8:14	but of euenesse in the present tyme youre aboundance fulfille the myseese of hem, that also the aboundaunce of hem be a fulfillynge of youre myseise, that euenesse be maad; as it is writun,
8:15	He that gaderide myche, was not encresid, and he that gaderide litil, hadde not lesse.
8:16	And Y do thankyngis to God, that yaf the same bisynesse for you in the herte of Tite,
8:17	for he resseyuede exortacioun; but whanne he was bisier, bi his wille he wente forth to you.
8:18	And we senten with hym a brother, whose preisyng is in the gospel bi alle chirchis.
8:19	And not oneli, but also he is ordeyned of chirchis the felowe of oure pilgrimage in to this grace, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorie of the Lord, and to oure ordeyned wille;
8:20	eschewynge this thing, that no man blame vs in this plente, that is mynystrid of vs to the glorye of the Lord.
8:21	For we purueyen good thingis, not onely bifor God, but also bifor alle men.
8:22	For we senten with hem also oure brothir, whom we han preued in many thingis ofte, that he was bisi, but nowe myche bisier, for myche trist in you,
8:23	ethir for Tite, that is my felowe and helpere in you, ethir for oure britheren, apostlis of the chirches of the glorie of Crist.
8:24	Therfor schewe ye in to hem in the face of chirchis, that schewynge that is of youre charite and of oure glorie for you.


8:1	I do you to wit brethren of the grace of god which is geven in the congregacions of Macedonia
8:2	how that the aboundaunce of their reioysing is that they are tried wt moche tribulacio. And therto though they were excedinge poore yet haue they geue excedinge richly and that in singlenesse.
8:3	For to their powers (I beare recorde) yee and beyonde their power they were willynge of their owne accorde
8:4	and prayed vs with great instaunce that we wolde receave their benefite and suffre them to be parttakers with other in ministrynge to the saynctes.
8:5	And this they did not as we loked for: but gave their awne selves fyrst to the lorde and after vnto vs by the will of God:
8:6	so that we coulde not but desyre Titus to acomplysshe the same benivolence amonge you also even as he had begonne.
8:7	Now therfore as ye are ryche in all parties in fayth in worde in knowledge in all fervetnes and in love which ye have to vs: even so se that ye be plenteons in this benivolence.
8:8	Thys saye I not as commaundynge: but be cause other are so fervent therfore prove I youre love whether it be perfait or no.
8:9	Ye knowe the liberalitie of oure lorde Iesus Christ which though he were riche yet for youre sakes be came poore: that ye thorow his povertie myght be made ryche.
8:10	And I geve counsell hereto. For this is expedient for you which beganne not to do only: but also to will a yeare a goo.
8:11	Now therfore performe the dede: that as ther was in you a redines to will even so ye maye performe the dede of that which ye have.
8:12	For if ther be fyrst a willynge mynde it is accepted accordynge to that a man hath and not accordinge to that he hath not.
8:13	It is not my mynde that other be set at ease and ye brought into combraunce:
8:14	but that ther be egalnes now at this tyme that youre aboundaunce sucker their lacke: that their aboundaunce maye supplie youre lacke:
8:15	that ther maye be equalite agreynge to that which is written. He that gaddered moche had never the more aboundaunce and he yt gaddered lytell had never the lesse.
8:16	Thankes be vnto god which put in ye hert of Titus the same good mynde toward you.
8:17	For he accepted ye request yee rather he was so well willynge that of his awne accorde came vnto you.
8:18	We haue sent with him that brother whose laude is in the gospell thorow out all the congregacions:
8:19	and not so only but is also chosen of the congregacions to be a felowe with vs in oure iorney concerninge this benivolence that is ministred by vs vnto the prayse of ye lorde and to stere vp youre prompt mynde.
8:20	For thys we eschue that eny man shuld rebuke vs in this plenteous distribucion that is ministred by vs
8:21	and therfore make provision for honest thynges not in the sight of god only but also in the sight of men.
8:22	We have sent with them a brother of oures whom we have ofte tymes proved diliget in many thynges but now moche more diligent. The great confidence which I have in you.
8:23	hath caused me this to do: partly for Titus sake which is my felowe and helper as cocernynge you partly because of other which are oure brethren and the messengers of the congregacios and ye glory of Christ.
8:24	Wherfore shewe vnto them the proffe of youre love and of the reioysynge that we have of you that ye congregacions maye se it.


8:1	I do you to wit (brethren) the grace of God, which is geue in the congregacions of Macedonia.
8:2	For their reioysinge was most abundaunt, whan they were tryed by moch trouble: & though they were exceadinge poore, yet haue they geue exceadinge richely, and that in synglenesse.
8:3	For to their power (I beare recorde) yee and beyonde their power, they were wyllinge of their awne acorde,
8:4	and prayed vs with greate instauce, that we wolde receaue their benefite and fellishippe of the hadreachinge that is done for the sayntes:
8:5	And not as we loked for, but gaue ouer them selues first to the LODRE, and afterwarde vnto vs by ye wyl of God,
8:6	so that we coulde not but desyre Titus, that like as he had begonne afore he wolde euen so accomplish the same beniuolence amonge you.
8:7	Now as ye are riche in all poyntes, in faith and in worde, and in knowlege, and in all diligence, and in youre loue towarde vs, euen so se that ye be plenteous also in this benyuolece.
8:8	This I saye not as commaudynge, but seynge, other are so diligent, I proue youre loue also, whether it be perfecte or no.
8:9	For ye knowe the liberalite of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which though he be riche, yet for youre sakes he became poore, yt ye thorow his pouerte mighte be made riche.
8:10	And my councell herin I geue, for this is profitable for you, which haue begonne a yeare a goo,not onely to do, but also to wyll.
8:11	But now perfourme the dede also, that like as there is a ready mynde to wil, there maye be a ready mynde also to perfourme the dede of that which ye haue.
8:12	For yf there be a wyllinge mynde, it is accepted acordinge to that a man hath, not acordinge to that he hath not.
8:13	This is not done to the intent, that other shulde haue ease, and ye cobraunce,
8:14	but that it be a lyke. Let youre abundaunce sucker their lacke in this tyme off derth, that their abundaunce also herafter maye supplee youre lacke,
8:15	that there maye be equalite. As it is wrytten: He yt gathered moch, had not the more: and he that gathered litle, wanted nothinge.
8:16	Thakes be vnto God, which put in the hert of Titus, the same diligence towarde you.
8:17	For he accepted the request in dede, yee he was rather so well wyllynge, that of his awne acorde, he came vnto you.
8:18	We haue sent with him that brother, whose prayse is in the Gospell thorow out all the congregacions.
8:19	Not onely that, but he is chosen also of the congregacions, to be a felowe with vs in oure iourney, for this benyuolence that is mynistred by vs vnto the prayse of the LORDE, and to stere vp youre prompte mynde,
8:20	and to bewarre, lest eny ma reporte euell of vs because of this plenteousnes, which is mynistred by vs:
8:21	and therfore make we prouision for honest thinges, not onely before the LORDE, but also before men.
8:22	We haue sent with them also a brother of oures, whom we haue oft proued diliget in many thinges, but now moch more diligent.
8:23	And this haue we done in greate hope towarde you, whether it be for Titus sake (which is my felowe and helper amonge you) or for oure brethre (which are Apostles of the cogregacions, & the prayse of Christ.)
8:24	Shewe now the profe off youre loue and off oure boastinge of you, vnto these, and opely in the sighte of the cogregacions.
