| 2nd-Corinthians 8:7 | But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. | 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. | But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace. | but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also. |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:10 | And herein I give [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. | 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. | I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing. | And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago. |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:13 | For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed; | And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you: | For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed, | For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:14 | but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: | 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. | but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality. | but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:15 | as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack. | As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough. | As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack." | According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short. |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:17 | For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord. | For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart. | For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went forth to you of his own accord. | For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:18 | And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches; | And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches; | We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel is known through all the assemblies. | but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:19 | and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to show] our readiness: | 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: | Not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness. | and not only [so], but [is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [a witness of] our readiness; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:20 | Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us: | 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: | We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us in concerning this bounty which is served by us. | avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us; |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:21 | for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. | For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men. | Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. | for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:22 | and we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you. | 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. | We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you. | And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [he has] as to you. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:23 | Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward, or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ. | If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ. | As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker toward you. As for our brothers, they are the messengers of the assemblies, the glory of Christ. | Whether as regards Titus, [he is] my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, [they are] deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:24 | Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf. | 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. | Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf. | Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you. |
