G3588–ὁ–ho

And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

τὰ ta “the”τὴν tēn “the”

And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “which”ταῖς tais “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”ἡ hē “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

τὴν tēn “for the”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”

And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

τῷ tō “to the”

So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.

τὸ to “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

τῇ tēa “in the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.

τῆς tēs “the”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.

τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

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.

τὸ to “the”ἡ hē “[there was] the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “that which”

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.

ἡ hē “the”

But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.

τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”

As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.

ὁ ho “He”τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “he”τὸ to “the”

But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “the [One]”τὴν tēn “the”τῇ tēa “the”

For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.

τὴν tēn “<the>”

And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;

τὸν ton “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:

τῶν tōn “the”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “that [is]”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “which”

And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

τὸν ton “the”τῇ tēa “which [is]”

Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “of the”

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”τὸ to “<the>”

For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸ to “<the>”τοὺς tous “the”

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

τοὺς tous “the”τὸ to “the”τὸ to “which [is]”τῷ tō “<the>”

For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”
