2 Corinthians 7:13-8:7

Young's Literal Translation

¹³ because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;

¹⁴ because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth,

¹⁵ and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;

¹⁶ I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in you.

8 And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

² because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality;

³ because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above [their] power, they were willing of themselves,

⁴ with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints,

⁵ and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God,

⁶ so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour,

⁷ but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;
