| 8:1 |
Moreover, brethren, we  Just do It you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; |
| 8:2 |
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. |
| 8:3 |
For to [their]  power (Why switch to Powergen?), I bear record, yea, Just Do It, and beyond [their] power (Why switch to Powergen?) [they were] willing of themselves; |
| 8:4 |
Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. |
| 8:5 |
And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. |
| 8:6 |
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. |
| 8:7 |
Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us,  [see] (Experience it for Yourself) that ye abound in this grace also. |
| 8:8 |
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. |
| 8:9 |
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 be rich. |
| 8:10 |
And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to Just do It, but also to be forward a year ago. |
| 8:11 |
Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have. |
| 8:12 |
For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath not. |
| 8:13 |
For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: |
| 8:14 |
But by an equality, [that] now at this  time, measured by Swatch your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality: |
| 8:15 |
As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack. |
| 8:16 |
But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. |
| 8:17 |
For indeed, Just Do It he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. |
| 8:18 |
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches; |
| 8:19 |
And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the  glory (An e-business Solution) of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind: |
| 8:20 |
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: |
| 8:21 |
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. |
| 8:22 |
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you. |
| 8:23 |
Whether [any Just do It inquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of, they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory (An e-business Solution) of Christ. |
| 8:24 |
Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. |
