鼓勵信徒捐助
8 弟兄們，我們要你們明白神在馬其頓省各教會中所賜的恩典： 2 在患難的極大考驗中，他們的喜樂之滿和貧窮之深都流露出來，歸入他們慷慨之心的財富。 3 因為我可以見證他們是按著自己的能力，甚至超過了自己的能力，甘心樂意， 4 用許多乞求的話，懇請我們在對聖徒的服事[a]上給與他們恩准和分享的機會[b]； 5 他們不但照我們所盼望的，而且照著神的旨意，首先把自己獻給了主，又獻給了我們。 6 我們於是勸提多，他怎樣開始了這恩惠之事，就當照樣在你們那裡把它完成； 7 而且你們怎樣在信仰、言語、知識、殷勤和你們對我們的愛心[c]上都豐足有餘，你們也當怎樣在這恩惠之事上豐足有餘。
8 我說這話不是出於命令，而是要藉著別人的殷勤來考驗你們愛的真誠， 9 因為你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典：他雖然富足[d]，卻為你們成了貧窮[e]，好使你們藉著他的貧窮可以成為富足。 10 我在這件事上提供意見，因為這對你們是有益處的。從去年開始，你們不僅做了這件事，而且願意去做， 11 所以現在你們就當完成這事，好使你們怎樣有願做的樂意之心，就怎樣以你們所擁有的完成它； 12 因為人如果有樂意之心，就會照著他所擁有的蒙悅納，並不是照著他所沒有的蒙悅納。 13 其實我這樣說[f]不是為了讓別人輕鬆、你們為難，而是為了公平—— 14 在現今的時刻，你們的富餘可以補他們的缺乏，好使將來[g]他們的富餘也可以補你們的缺乏，這樣就公平了。 15 正如經上所記：
「多收的沒有增多，
少收的也沒有缺少。」[h]
捐助的工作
16 感謝神，他為了你們，把同樣的殷勤放在提多的心裡。 17 提多一方面接受了我們的鼓勵，另一方面自己更是殷勤，自願到你們那裡去。 18 我們也打發了一位弟兄與他一起去。這位弟兄在福音工作上受到各教會的稱讚； 19 不僅如此，他也被各教會選出，與我們一起帶著惠贈[i]同行。我們這服事為的是主自己的榮耀，也為了表明[j]我們的樂意之心。 20 我們這樣謹慎，免得有人在我們所經手的這豐厚之事[k]上挑剔我們， 21 因為我們不僅要敬重主看為美善的事，也要敬重人看為美善的事。 22 我們還打發了另一位弟兄和他們一起去。我們在很多事上多次驗證過這位弟兄是殷勤的，而現在他因為深深地信任你們，就更加殷勤了。 23 論到提多，他是我的同伴，也是為著你們[l]的同工。至於那兩位弟兄[m]，他們是各教會的使者，是基督的榮耀。 24 所以，你們要在各教會面前，向他們顯出你們愛心的憑證，以及我們所誇耀你們的憑據。

The Collection for the Lord’s People
8 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian(A) churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.(B) 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able,(C) and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing(D) in this service(E) to the Lord’s people.(F) 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged(G) Titus,(H) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(I) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(J)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(K) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8 I am not commanding you,(L) but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace(M) of our Lord Jesus Christ,(N) that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,(O) so that you through his poverty might become rich.(P)
10 And here is my judgment(Q) about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.(R) 11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness(S) to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has,(T) not according to what one does not have.
13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need,(U) so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, 15 as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”[b](V)
Titus Sent to Receive the Collection
16 Thanks be to God,(W) who put into the heart(X) of Titus(Y) the same concern I have for you. 17 For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative.(Z) 18 And we are sending along with him the brother(AA) who is praised by all the churches(AB) for his service to the gospel.(AC) 19 What is more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us(AD) as we carry the offering, which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help.(AE) 20 We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. 21 For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.(AF)
22 In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus,(AG) he is my partner(AH) and co-worker(AI) among you; as for our brothers,(AJ) they are representatives of the churches and an honor to Christ. 24 Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you,(AK) so that the churches can see it.
