11. 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,
12. for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;
13. for not that for others release, and ye pressured, [do I speak,]
14. 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,
15. according as it hath been written, `He who [did gather] much, had nothing over; and he who [did gather] little, had no lack.'
16. And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of
17. because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you,
18. and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news [is] through all the assemblies,
19. 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;
20. avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
21. providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;
22. and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,
23. whether--about Titus--my partner and towards you fellow-worker, whether-- our brethren, apostles of assemblies--glory of Christ;
24. the shewing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, to them shew ye, even in the face of the assemblies.
