For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil.

For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.

So then, if also I wrote to you, [it was] not for the sake of him that injured, nor for the sake of him that was injured, but for the sake of our diligent zeal for you being manifested to you before God.

For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

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.

According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.

But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.

I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

\w I|strong="G2532"\w* \w thought|strong="G2233"\w* \w it|strong="G2233"\w* \w necessary|strong="G0316"\w* \w therefore|strong="G3767"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w beg|strong="G3870"\w* \w the|strong="G3588"\w* \w brethren|strong="G0080"\w* \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w they|strong="G3767"\w* \w would|strong="G2532"\w* \w come|strong="G1510"\w* \w to|strong="G1519"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* complete \w beforehand|strong="G4279"\w* \w your|strong="G2532"\w* fore-announced \w blessing|strong="G2129"\w*, \w that|strong="G2443"\w* \w this|strong="G3778"\w* \w may|strong="G2532"\w* \w be|strong="G1510"\w* \w ready|strong="G2092"\w* \w thus|strong="G3767"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w blessing|strong="G2129"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w not|strong="G3361"\w* \w as|strong="G5613"\w* \w got|strong="G4281"\w* \w out|strong="G1510"\w* \w of|strong="G0080"\w* \w you|strong="G5210"\w*. 

But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:
