G2532–καί–kai

If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God --

καὶ kai “even”

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,

καὶ kai “also”

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

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

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

καὶ kai “and”

because, according to `their' power, I testify, and above `their' power, they were willing of themselves,

καὶ kai “and”

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

καὶ kai “and”

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

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and then”

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

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “as well”

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;

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

not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

καὶ kai “also”

and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you `is' expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before -- a year ago,

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”

and now also finish doing `it', that even as `there is' the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,

καὶ kai “also”

according as it hath been written, `He who `did gather' much, had nothing over; and he who `did gather' little, had no lack.'

καὶ kai “and”

and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;

καὶ kai “also”

whether -- about Titus -- my partner and towards you fellow-worker, whether -- our brethren, apostles of assemblies -- glory of Christ;

καὶ kai “and”

the shewing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, to them shew ye, even in the face of the assemblies.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part,

καὶ kai “and”

lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we -- we may be put to shame (that we say not -- ye) in this same confidence of boasting.

καὶ kai “and”

Necessary, therefore, I thought `it' to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

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

and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

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

because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

καὶ kai “also”

through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and `for' the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”
