| 2nd-Corinthians 8:2 | How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. | how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. | 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. | because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality; |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:6 | Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. | Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. | 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. | so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin before, so also he may finish to you also this favour, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:7 | Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. | 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 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; |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:9 | For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. | For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. | 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. | for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich. |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:10 | And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. | 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. | 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, |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:13 | For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: | 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 not that for others release, and ye pressured, [do I speak,] |

| 2nd-Corinthians 8:20 | Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: | 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: | avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us, |
| 2nd-Corinthians 8:21 | Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. | 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. | providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men; |
