G3588–ὁ–ho

So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

τοὺς tous “the”τὴν tēn “the”

But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

ὁ ho “The [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

τῇ tēa “in the”ὁ ho “<the>”

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:

ὁ ho “<the>”

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

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

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

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

Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

τῷ tō “<the>”

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

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

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to 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”

While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:

τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

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

(For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

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

Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

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

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

ἡ hē “<the>”

Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

Τὰ Ta “The [things]”

For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the”

That I may not seem to have the desire of causing you fear by my letters.

τῶν tōn “the”

For his letters, they say, have weight and are strong; but in body he is feeble, and his way of talking has little force.

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

Let those who say this keep in mind that, what we are in word by letters when we are away, so will we be in act when we are present.

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

For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

τῶν tōn “<the>”

We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

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

For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

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,

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