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

1ثُمَّ نُعَرِّفُكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، نِعْمَةَ اللهِ المُعْطَاةَ فِي كَنَائِسِ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ،2أَنَّهُ فِي اخْتِبَارِ ضِيقَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ فَاضَ وُفُورُ فَرَحِهِمْ وَفَقْرِهِمِ الْعَمِيقِ لِغِنَى سَخَائِهِمْ،3لأَنَّهُمْ أَعْطَوْا حَسَبَ الطَّاقَةِ، أَنَا أَشْهَدُ وَفَوْقَ الطَّاقَةِ، مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ4مُلْتَمِسِينَ مِنَّا، بِطِلْبَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، أَنْ نَقْبَلَ النِّعْمَةَ وَشَرِكَةَ الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ.5وَلَيْسَ كَمَا رَجَوْنَا، بَلْ أَعْطَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَوَّلاً لِلرَّبِّ وَلَنَا، بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ،6حَتَّى إِنَّنَا طَلَبْنَا مِنْ تِيطُسَ أَنَّهُ، كَمَا سَبَقَ فَابْتَدَأَ، كَذَلِكَ يُتَمِّمُ لَكُمْ هَذِهِ النِّعْمَةَ أَيْضاً.7لَكِنْ كَمَا تَزْدَادُونَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فِي الإِيمَانِ وَالْكَلاَمِ وَالْعِلْمِ وَكُلِّ اجْتِهَادٍ وَمَحَبَّتِكُمْ لَنَا، لَيْتَكُمْ تَزْدَادُونَ فِي هَذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ أَيْضاً.8لَسْتُ أَقُولُ عَلَى سَبِيلِ الأَمْرِ بَلْ بِاجْتِهَادِ آخَرِينَ، مُخْتَبِراً إِخْلاَصَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ أَيْضاً.9فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمُ افْتَقَرَ وَهُوَ غَنِيٌّ لِكَيْ تَسْتَغْنُوا أَنْتُمْ بِفَقْرِهِ،10أُعْطِي رَأْياً فِي هَذَا أَيْضاً. لأَنَّ هَذَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ أَنْتُمُ، الَّذِينَ سَبَقْتُمْ فَابْتَدَأْتُمْ مُنْذُ الْعَامِ المَاضِي، لَيْسَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فَقَطْ بَلْ أَنْ تُرِيدُوا أَيْضاً،11وَلَكِنِ الآنَ تَمِّمُوا الْعَمَلَ أَيْضاً، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ كَمَا أَنَّ النَّشَاطَ لِلإِرَادَةِ كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ التَّتْمِيمُ أَيْضاً حَسَبَ مَا لَكُمْ.12لأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ النَّشَاطُ مَوْجُوداً فَهُوَ مَقْبُولٌ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا لِلإِنْسَانِ، لاَ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ.13فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لِلآخَرِينَ رَاحَةٌ وَلَكُمْ ضِيقٌ،14بَلْ بِحَسَبِ المُسَاوَاةِ. لِكَيْ تَكُونَ فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ فُضَالَتُكُمْ لإِعْوَازِهِمْ، كَيْ تَصِيرَ فُضَالَتُهُمْ لإِعْوَازِكُمْ حَتَّى تَحْصُلَ المُسَاوَاةُ.15كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: "الَّذِي جَمَعَ كَثِيراً لَمْ يُفْضِلْ وَالَّذِي جَمَعَ قَلِيلاً لَمْ يُنْقِصْ".

16وَلَكِنْ شُكْراً لِلهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ هَذَا الاِجْتِهَادَ عَيْنَهُ لأَجْلِكُمْ فِي قَلْبِ تِيطُسَ،17لأَنَّهُ قَبِلَ الطِّلْبَةَ، وَإِذْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ اجْتِهَاداً مَضَى إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِهِ.18وَأَرْسَلْنَا مَعَهُ الأَخَ الَّذِي مَدْحُهُ فِي الإِنْجِيلِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْكَنَائِسِ،19وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ هُوَ مُنْتَخَبٌ أَيْضاً مِنَ الْكَنَائِسِ رَفِيقاً لَنَا فِي السَّفَرِ مَعَ هَذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ المَخْدُومَةِ مِنَّا لِمَجْدِ ذَاتِ الرَّبِّ الْوَاحِدِ وَلِنَشَاطِكُمْ،20مُتَجَنِّبِينَ هَذَا أَنْ يَلُومَنَا أَحَدٌ فِي جَسَامَةِ هَذِهِ المَخْدُومَةِ مِنَّا،21مُعْتَنِينَ بِأُمُورٍ حَسَنَةٍ، لَيْسَ قُدَّامَ الرَّبِّ فَقَطْ بَلْ قُدَّامَ النَّاسِ أَيْضاً.22وَأَرْسَلْنَا مَعَهُمَا أَخَانَا الَّذِي اخْتَبَرْنَا مِرَاراً فِي أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ أَنَّهُ مُجْتَهِدٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الآنَ أَشَدُّ اجْتِهَاداً كَثِيراً بِالثِّقَةِ الْكَثِيرَةِ بِكُمْ.23أَمَّا مِنْ جِهَةِ تِيطُسَ، فَهُوَ شَرِيكٌ لِي وَعَامِلٌ مَعِي لأَجْلِكُمْ، وَأَمَّا أَخَوَانَا، فَهُمَا رَسُولاَ الْكَنَائِسِ وَمَجْدُ المَسِيحِ.24فَبَيِّنُوا لَهُمْ وَقُدَّامَ الْكَنَائِسِ بَيِّنَةَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَافْتِخَارِنَا مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ.
