All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 2 Corinthians 7:15 | And his affection for you is even greater when he recalls the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you welcomed him. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:1 | We want you to know, brothers, about the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) grace of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God shown among the (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) churches of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Macedonia, |
| 2 Corinthians 8:2 | how that in a severe test of affliction, the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) fullness of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) their joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in the (to | τό | acc sg neut) richness of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) their generosity. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:4 | begging us with great insistence for the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) privilege of joining in this (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) ministry to the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) saints. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:5 | And they did this, not simply as we had hoped, but first they gave themselves to the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) Lord and then to us, by the will of God. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:6 | So we urged Titus that just as he had previously begun the work, so now he should complete this act of kindness among you. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:7 | But as you excel in everything — in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all eagerness, and in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) love we have aroused in you — make sure that you excel in this act of kindness. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:8 | I am not saying this as an order, but as a way of testing the (to | τό | acc sg neut) genuineness of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) your love by comparison with the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) eagerness of others. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:9 | For you know the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) grace of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you by (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) his poverty might become rich. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:10 | And in this matter I am giving my opinion; for this is beneficial for you, who last year not only began to do this work but also to desire to do it. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:11 | So now finish doing it, so that your (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it, as your means allow. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:12 | For if the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) readiness is present, the gift is acceptable according to whatever a person has, not according to what he does not have. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:14 | at the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) present time your abundance should supply what (to | τό | acc sg neut) they need, so that then their abundance may supply your need; in this way there will be equality. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:15 | As it is written, “The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who gathered much did not have a surplus, and the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who gathered little did not have too little.” |
| 2 Corinthians 8:16 | But thanks be to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God who (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) put the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) same eagerness on your behalf in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) heart of Titus, |
| 2 Corinthians 8:17 | because he not only accepted our (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) request, but being very eager and acting on his own initiative, he is on his way to you. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:18 | And we sent along with him the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) brother who is highly respected throughout all the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) churches for his work in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) gospel. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:19 | And not only this, but he has been appointed by the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) churches to be our traveling companion as we carry out this act of kindness for the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) glory of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Lord himself, and to show our readiness. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:20 | We are taking this precaution so that no one should blame us for the way we are administering this generous gift, |
| 2 Corinthians 8:22 | And we are sending along with them our brother whom we have often tested in many matters and found to be eager, and now he is all the more eager because of his great confidence in you. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:24 | Therefore show them openly before the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) churches the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) proof of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) your love and the reason for our pride in you. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:1 | Now concerning the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) service to the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) saints, there is no necessity for me to write to you, |
| 2 Corinthians 9:2 | for I know your readiness to help, about which I keep boasting to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:3 | But I am sending these (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) brothers so that what (to | τό | nom sg neut) we say in praise of you may not be an empty boast in this instance, that you may be ready just as I said you would be. |
| 2 Corinthians 9:4 | Lest perhaps if some Macedonians should come with me and not find you ready, we — to say nothing of you — would be humiliated by this confidence. |
