О сборе средств для нуждающихся верующих в Иерусалиме
8 Братья, мы хотим сказать вам и о том, какую милость Всевышний проявил к общинам верующих в Македонии. 2 Среди суровых испытаний у них изобилие радости, и в ужасной бедности – изобилие щедрости. 3 Я свидетель того, что они добровольно жертвовали всё, что только могли, и даже сверх того. 4 Они сами обратились к нам и настойчиво просили, как о великой милости, позволения помочь святому народу Всевышнего в Иерусалиме. 5 То, что они сделали, превзошло все наши ожидания. Ведь они даже самих себя отдали прежде всего Повелителю, а затем, по воле Всевышнего, и нам. 6 И вот мы попросили Тита, чтобы он, раз уже начал, так и довёл бы у вас до конца это милосердное дело. 7 Поскольку у вас во всём изобилие: у вас есть вера, красноречие, знание, рвение и ваша любовь к нам[a], то мы хотим, чтобы вы проявили ваши лучшие качества и в этом деле милосердия.
8 Я не приказываю вам, но, говоря о рвении, которое проявляют другие, я через это хочу испытать искренность вашей любви. 9 Вам известна благодать нашего Повелителя Исы Масиха. Он был богат, но ради нас Он стал беден, чтобы благодаря Его бедности вы стали богатыми.[b]
10 Я вам советую поступить так: закончите то, что вы начали в прошлом году, так как это полезно вам самим. Ведь вы не только первыми начали это дело, но и первыми замыслили его. 11 Так и при завершении дела проявите то же усердие, что вы проявили при его замысле. Давайте столько, сколько позволяет ваш достаток. 12 Главное, чтобы было желание, и тогда ваш вклад будет оценён Всевышним, Который желает, чтобы вы давали из того, что у вас есть, а не из того, чего у вас нет.
13 Мы не хотим, чтобы другим было облегчение за ваш счёт, но чтобы было равенство. 14 В настоящее время ваш достаток облегчит их нужду, а их достаток в своё время облегчит вашу. Тогда будет равенство, 15 как написано: «У того, кто собрал много, не было излишка, и у того, кто собрал мало, не было недостатка»[c].
Тит и его спутники посланы собрать пожертвования
16 Я благодарен Всевышнему, что Он положил на сердце Титу ту же заботу о вас, что и мне. 17 Ведь Тит не просто откликнулся на нашу просьбу, он идёт к вам добровольно, по своей инициативе. 18 Мы посылаем вместе с ним ещё одного брата, которого все общины верующих хвалят как доброго служителя Радостной Вести. 19 Кроме того, общины верующих выбрали его идти с нами и помочь в этом деле милосердия, которое мы совершаем во славу Самого Вечного по нашему доброму желанию. 20 Мы хотим, чтобы никто не мог упрекнуть нас за то, как мы обращаемся с этими щедрыми дарами, 21 и стараемся поступать правильно во всём, и не только перед Вечным, но и перед людьми.
22 Мы посылаем к вам ещё одного нашего брата, который много раз и во многих делах проявлял своё усердие. А теперь он ещё усерднее, потому что он очень уверен в вас. 23 Что касается Тита, то он мой спутник и сотрудник в работе среди вас, а что касается остальных двух братьев, то они посланники общин верующих и слава Масиха. 24 И поэтому явите им доказательство своей любви, чтобы все общины верующих увидели, что не зря мы так гордимся вами.

8 Ora, fratelli, vi facciamo conoscere la grazia di Dio, che è stata data alle chiese della Macedonia,
2 e cioè, che in mezzo a molte prove di afflizione, l'abbondanza della loro gioia e la loro estrema povertà hanno abbondato nelle ricchezze della loro liberalità.
3 Poiché io rendo testimonianza che essi hanno dato volentieri, secondo le loro possibilità e anche al di là dei loro mezzi,
4 pregandoci con molta insistenza di accettare il dono e di partecipare a questa sovvenzione per i santi.
5 E non solo hanno fatto come speravamo, ma si sono dati prima al Signore e poi a noi per la volontà di Dio.
6 Cosí abbiamo esortato Tito che, come ha iniziato quest'opera di grazia fra di voi, cosí la porti a compimento.
7 Ma come abbondate in ogni cosa, nella fede, nella parola e nella conoscenza, in ogni premura e nel vostro amore verso di noi, cercate di abbondare anche in quest'opera di grazia.
8 Non lo dico per darvi un comando, ma per la sollecitudine degli altri e per mettere alla prova la schiettezza del vostro amore.
9 Voi conoscete infatti la grazia del Signor nostro Gesú Cristo il quale, essendo ricco, si è fatto povero per voi, affinché voi diventaste ricchi per mezzo della sua povertà.
10 A questo riguardo vi do un consiglio, perché questo è utile a voi, che fin dall'anno scorso non solo cominciaste a fare, ma anche a volere.
11 Ora compite anche il fare affinché, come vi è stata la prontezza del volere, cosí vi sia pure il compimento secondo le vostre possibilità.
12 Se infatti c'è la prontezza d'animo, uno è accettevole secondo quello che ha e non secondo ciò che non ha.
13 Però non si vuole mettere sotto pressione voi per dar sollievo agli altri,
14 ma solo seguire un criterio di uguaglianza; che al presente la vostra abbondanza supplisca alla loro indigenza, affinché anche la loro abbondanza sia impiegata a supplire alla vostra indigenza, perché vi sia uguaglianza,
15 secondo quel che sta scritto,: «Chi ne aveva raccolto molto, non ne ebbe di piú, e chi poco, non ne ebbe di meno».
16 Ora ringraziato sia Dio, che ha messo nel cuore di Tito la stessa sollecitudine per voi,
17 poiché non solo egli accettò l'esortazione, ma si mise in cammino per venire da voi, spontaneamente e con grande diligenza.
18 Con lui abbiamo mandato il fratello la cui lode nella predicazione dell'evangelo si è sparsa in tutte le chiese,
19 e non solo questo, ma è anche stato scelto dalle chiese per essere nostro compagno di viaggio con questo dono che noi amministriamo alla gloria del Signore stesso, come dimostrazione della prontezza del vostro animo,
20 evitando questo: che nessuno ci biasimi in questo generoso dono che è da noi amministrato,
21 avendo cura di agire bene non solo davanti al Signore, ma anche davanti agli uomini.
22 Or noi abbiamo mandato con loro il nostro fratello, che abbiamo provato spesse volte in molte cose e trovato essere zelante, ma ora è ancora piú zelante per la grande fiducia che ha in voi.
23 Quanto a Tito, egli è mio collaboratore e compagno d'opera in mezzo a voi quanto ai fratelli, essi sono apostoli delle chiese, gloria di Cristo.
24 Date dunque loro la prova del vostro amore e della ragione per cui ci gloriamo di voi anche davanti alla chiese.
2 Corinthians 8

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

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.
