7:10. For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast
unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
7:11. For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful
according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence,
yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all
things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.
7:12. Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that
did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our
carefulness that we have for you.
7:13. Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we
did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit
was refreshed by you all.
7:14. And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put
to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our
boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.
7:15. And his bowels are more abundantly towards you: remembering the
obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.
7:16. I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
2 Corinthians Chapter 8
He exhorts them to contribute bountifully to relieve the poor of
Jerusalem.
8:1. Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath
been given in the churches of Macedonia.
8:2. That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of
joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their
simplicity.
Simplicity... That is, sincere bounty and charity.
8:3. For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their
power, they were willing:
8:4. With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the
ministry that is done toward the saints.
8:5. And not as we hoped: but they gave their own selves, first to the
Lord, then to us by the will of God;
8:6. Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he
would finish among you this same grace.
8:7. That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge
and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in
this grace also you may abound.
8:8. I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others,
approving also the good disposition of your charity.
8:9. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he
became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich.
8:10. And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who
have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago.
8:11. Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is
forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which
you have.
8:12. For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which
a man hath: not according to that which he hath not.
8:13. For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, but
by an equality.
8:14. In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that
their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an
equality,
8:15. As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that
had little had no want.
