G2192–ἔχω–echō

And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

σχῆτε schēte “you may have”

And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

σχῶ schō “I may have”

For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you.

ἔχω echō “I have”

I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.

ἔσχηκα eschēka “I have had”

And this is the certain faith which we have in God through Christ:

ἔχομεν echomen “we have”

Having then such a hope, we keep nothing back,

Ἔχοντες Echontes “Having”

For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

Ἔχομεν Echomen “We have”

But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

Ἔχοντες Echontes “Having”

For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven.

ἔχομεν, echomen “we have,”

We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.

ἔχητε echēte “you may have [an answer]”

As full of sorrow, but ever glad; as poor, but giving wealth to others; as having nothing, but still having all things.

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

ἔσχηκεν eschēken “did have”

Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.

ἔχειν. echein “[you] having.”

For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

ἔχῃ echē “he shall have”ἔχει. echei “he does have.”

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

ἔχοντες echontes “having”

This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

ἔχω echō “I am”

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

ἔχομεν echomen “we have”

Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

ἔσχεν, eschen “had,”

For it is in the Writings, You who have never given birth, be glad; give cries of joy, you who have had no birth-pains; for the children of her who has been given up by her husband are more than those of the woman who has a husband.

ἐχούσης echousēs “having”

But let every man make test of his work, and then will his cause for glory be in himself only, and not in his neighbour.

ἕξει hexei “he will have”

So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

ἔχομεν echomen “we have”
