Because in great triall of affliction their ioy abounded, and their most extreme pouertie abounded vnto their rich liberalitie.

Nowe therefore performe to doe it also, that as there was a readinesse to will, euen so yee may performe it of that which yee haue.
12 yasmin ichChukatA vidyate tena yanna dhAryyate tasmAt so. anugR^ihyata iti nahi kintu yad dhAryyate tasmAdeva|
For if there be first a willing minde, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 yata itareShAM virAmeNa yuShmAka ncha kleshena bhavitavyaM tannahi kintu samatayaiva|
Neither is it that other men should be eased and you grieued: But vpon like condition, at this time your abundance supplieth their lacke:

15 tadeva shAstre. api likhitam Aste yathA, yenAdhikaM saMgR^ihItaM tasyAdhikaM nAbhavat yena chAlpaM saMgR^ihItaM tasyAlpaM nAbhavat|
As it is written, Hee that gathered much, had nothing ouer, and hee that gathered litle, had not the lesse.
16 yuShmAkaM hitAya tItasya manasi ya Ishvara imam udyogaM janitavAn sa dhanyo bhavatu|
And thanks be vnto God, which hath put in the heart of Titus the same care for you.

Whether any doe inquire of Titus, he is my fellowe and helper to you ward: or of our brethren, they are messengers of the Churches, and the glorie of Christ.

Wherefore shew toward them, and before the Churches the proofe of your loue, and of the reioycing that we haue of you.
