G2532–καί–kai

So although I wrote unto you, I [ergänzt: wrote] not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God.

καὶ kai “even”

For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

καὶ kai “also”

And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

καὶ kai “and”

For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [ergänzt: they gave] of their own accord,

καὶ kai “and”

beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:

καὶ kai “and”

and [ergänzt: this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and then”

Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “as well”

But as ye abound in everything, [ergänzt: in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [ergänzt: in] all earnestness, and [ergänzt: in] your love to us, [ergänzt: see] that ye abound in this grace also.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

καὶ kai “also”

And herein I give [ergänzt: my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”

But now complete the doing also; that as [ergänzt: there was] the readiness to will, so [ergänzt: there may be] the completion also out of your ability.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

but by equality: your abundance [ergänzt: being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [ergänzt: a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:

καὶ kai “also”

as it is written, He that [ergänzt: gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [ergänzt: gathered] little had no lack.

καὶ kai “and”

and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [ergänzt: the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [ergänzt: to show] our readiness:

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

καὶ kai “also”

Whether [ergänzt: any inquire] about Titus, [ergänzt: he is] my partner and [ergänzt: my] fellow-worker to you-ward, or our brethren, [ergänzt: they are] the messengers of the churches, [ergänzt: they are] the glory of Christ.

καὶ kai “and”

Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.

καὶ kai “and”

lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.

καὶ kai “and”

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

But this [ergänzt: I say,] He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

καὶ kai “also”

seeing that through the proving [ergänzt: of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [ergänzt: your] contribution unto them and unto all;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”
