18 With him we are sending the brother who is famous among all the churches for his preaching of the gospel. 17 For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going to you of his own accord. 15 As it is written, “Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.”ġ6 But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same earnest care I have for you.
13 For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness 14 your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. 12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 11 So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. 10 And in this matter I give my judgment: this benefits you, who a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 7 But as you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you-see that you excel in this act of grace also.Ĩ I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 6 Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace. 3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, 4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints- 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together if one member is honored, all rejoice together.Ĩ:1 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.Ģ1 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit.ġ4 For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
