G3588–ὁ–ho

I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

τοὺς tous “the”τὴν tēn “the”

But this [supplied: is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [supplied: the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:

ὁ ho “The [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”

each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

τῇ tēa “in the”ὁ ho “<the>”

But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

ὁ ho “<the>”

according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.

τοῖς tois “to the”ἡ hē “the”τὸν ton “the”

Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

ὁ ho “The [One]”τῷ tō “to him”τὸν ton “the”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

τῷ tō “<the>”

Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὰ ta “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τῷ tō “<the>”

they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸν ton “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”

and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [supplied: which is] upon you.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Thanks [supplied: be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [supplied: when present] [supplied: am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;

τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.

τὸ to “that”τῇ tēa “with the”τοὺς tous “those”

For the arms of our warfare [supplied: are] not fleshly, but powerful according to God to [supplied: the] overthrow of strongholds;

τὰ ta “The”τῆς tēs “of the”τῷ tō “<the>”

overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that lifts itself up against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought into the obedience of the Christ;

τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

and having in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience shall have been fulfilled.

ἡ hē “<the>”

Do ye look at what concerns appearance? If any one has confidence in himself that he is of Christ, let him think this again in himself, that even as he [supplied: is] of Christ, so also [supplied: are] we.

Τὰ Ta “The [things]”

For and if I should boast even somewhat more abundantly of our authority, which the Lord has given [supplied: to us] for building up and not for your overthrowing, I shall not be put to shame;

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the”

that I may not seem as if I was frightening you by letters:

τῶν tōn “the”

because his letters, he says, [supplied: are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.

αἱ hai “the”ἡ hē “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “the”

Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters [supplied: when] absent, such also present in deed.

ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not intelligent.

τῶν tōn “<the>”

Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.

τὰ ta “the [things]”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “<the>”

For we do not, as not reaching to you, overstretch ourselves, (for we have come to you also in the glad tidings of the Christ;)

τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly

τὰ ta “the [things]”τῆς tēs “the”τὸν ton “the”
