Der zweite Brief des Paulus an die Korinther

Kapitel 8

1 Ich tue1107 euch5213 kund1107, liebe Brüder80, die Gnade5485 Gottes2316, die in1722 den Gemeinden1577 in Mazedonien3109 gegeben1325 ist.

2 Denn3754 ihre846 Freude5479 war da2532 überschwenglich4050, da sie846 durch1519 viel4183 Trübsal2347 arm waren, haben4052 sie846 doch reichlich4149 gegeben in1722 aller Einfältigkeit.

3 Denn3754 nach2596 allem Vermögen1411 (das zeuge3140 ich) und2532 über5228 Vermögen1411 waren sie selbst willig830

4 und2532 fleheten uns2257 mit3326 vielem4183 Ermahnen3874, daß1519 wir1189 aufnähmen1209 die Wohltat5485 und Gemeinschaft2842 der Handreichung1248, die da geschieht den Heiligen40.

5 Und2532 nicht3756, wie2531 wir2532 hofften1679, sondern235 ergaben1325 sich selbst1438 zuerst dem HErrn2962 und4412 danach uns2254 durch1223 den Willen2307 Gottes2316,

6 daß2443 wir2248 mußten Titus5103 ermahnen3870, auf1519 daß er2532, wie2531 er zuvor hatte angefangen4278, also3779 auch2532 unter1519 euch5209 solche5026 Wohltat5485 ausrichtete2005.

7 Aber2532 gleichwie5618 ihr in1722 allen3956 Stücken reich4052 seid, im1537 Glauben4102 und235 im Wort3056 und2532 in1722 der Erkenntnis1108 und2532 in1722 allerlei3956 Fleiß4710 und2532 in eurer5216 Liebe zu4052 uns2254, also schaffet, daß2443 ihr auch2532 in dieser5026 Wohltat5485 reich seid.

8 Nicht3756 sage3004 ich, daß ich etwas2596 gebiete2003, sondern235 dieweil1223 andere2087 so fleißig4710 sind1381, versuche ich auch2532 eure5212 Liebe26, ob sie rechter1103 Art sei.

9 Denn1063 ihr1097 wisset die1565 Gnade5485 unsers2257 HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christi5547, daß3754, ob er wohl reich4145 ist5607, ward4433 er doch arm um1223 euretwillen, auf daß2443 ihr5209 durch1223 seine Armut4432 reich4147 würdet.

10 Und2532 mein Wohlmeinen hierinnen gebe1325 ich. Denn1063 solches ist4851 euch5213 nützlich, die3748 ihr angefangen habt4278 vor575 dem5129 Jahre4070 her, nicht3756 allein3440 das5124 Tun4160, sondern235 auch2532 das Wollen2309.

11 Nun aber1161 vollbringet2005 auch2532 das Tun4160, auf daß3704, gleichwie2509 da ist ein geneigt Gemüt zu wollen2309, so3779 sei auch2532 da ein geneigt Gemüt zu tun von1537 dem, was ihr habt2192.

12 Denn1063 so1487 einer5100 willig4288 ist4295, so1437 ist2144 er angenehm, nachdem er hat2192, nicht3756 nachdem er nicht3756 hat2192.

13 Nicht3756 geschieht das der Meinung, daß2443 die andern243 Ruhe425 haben und1063 ihr5213 Trübsal2347, sondern1161 daß es gleich sei.

14 So3568 diene1519 euer5216 Überfluß4051 ihrem1565 Mangel5303 diese1565 (teure) Zeit2540 lang1722, auf1537 daß1519 auch2532 ihr Überschwang hernach diene eurem5216 Mangel5303, und235 geschehe1096, was gleich ist1096.

15 Wie2531 geschrieben1125 stehet: Der3588 viel4183 sammelte, hatte1641 nicht3756 Überfluß4121, und2532 der3588 wenig3641 sammelte, hatte1641 nicht3756 Mangel.

16 GOtt2316 aber1161 sei5485 Dank, der solchen Fleiß4710 für5228 euch5216 gegeben1325 hat in1722 das3588 Herz2588 des846 Titus5103!

17 Denn3754 er1209 nahm zwar3303 die Ermahnung3874 an; aber1161 dieweil er so sehr fleißig4707 war5225, ist1831 er von selber830 zu4314 euch5209 gereiset.

18 Wir haben4842 aber1161 einen Bruder80 mit3326 ihm846 gesandt; der das3739 Lob1868 hat1722 am Evangelium2098 durch1223 alle3956 Gemeinden1577;

19 nicht3756 allein3440 aber1161 das, sondern235 er ist auch2532 verordnet5500 von5259 den Gemeinden1577 zum Gefährten4898 unserer2257 Fahrt in dieser5026 Wohltat5485, welche durch5259 uns2257 ausgerichtet1247 wird4314 dem3588 HErrn2962 zu4862 Ehren und2532 (zum Preis1391) eures5216 guten Willens4288.

20 Und verhüten4724 das5124, daß uns2248 nicht3361 jemand5100 übel nachreden möge3469 solcher reichen Steuer100 halben, die5026 durch1722 uns2257 ausgerichtet1247 wird.

21 und2532 sehen darauf4306, daß es redlich zugehe2570, nicht3756 allein3440 vor1799 dem HErrn2962, sondern235 auch vor1799 den444 Menschen.

22 Auch haben1381 wir4842 mit ihnen gesandt unsern2257 Bruder80, den3739 wir oft4178 gespüret haben1381 in1722 vielen4183 Stücken4183, daß1519 er846 fleißig4705 sei5607, nun1161 aber1161 viel4183 fleißiger4707.

23 Und2532 wir sind1535 großer Zuversicht zu1519 euch5209, es sei1535 des Titus5103 halben, welcher mein1699 Geselle2844 und Gehilfe4904 unter5228 euch ist, oder unserer2257 Brüder80 halben, welche Apostel652 sind der Gemeinden1577 und eine Ehre1391 Christi5547.

24 Erzeiget1731 nun3767 die Beweisung1732 eurer5216 Liebe26 und2532 unsers2257 Ruhms von5228 euch5216 an1519 diesen, auch2532 öffentlich5228 vor den846 Gemeinden1577.

2 Corinthians

Chapter 8

1 MOREOVER, our brethren, we want you to know that the grace of God has been bestowed on the churches of Mac-e-do'ni-a :

2 How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep rooted poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

3 For to their power, I can testify, yes, and beyond their power they have shared of their own accord.

4 And besought us most earnestly that they might be partakers in the gift for the ministration to the saints.

5 And this they did, not only as we expected, but first they gave themselves to our LORD, and then to us by the will of God.

6 Insomuch as we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish this same gift among you.

7 Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by our love toward you, you should likewise excel in this gracious favor also.

8 I am not making a demand on you, but I am prompted by the devotion of your fellow believers to test the sincerity of your love.

9 For you know the gracious gift of our LORD Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might be rich.

10 Herein I give you my advice: that it may help you to go forward and accomplish what you, of your own accord, began to do last year.

11 Now therefore perform the doing of that which you wished to do; and as you were eager to promise it, so fulfil from that which you have.

12 For if there is a willingness to give, every man can give according to that which he has, and not according to that which he has not, and his gift will be acceptable.

13 This is not intended to relieve other men and add a burden to you;

14 But that there may be an equality at this particular time, that your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality.

15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

16 But thanks be to God, who put the same vigorous care into the heart of Titus for you.

17 For indeed he has accepted our appeal; and because he was very desirous, he went to you of his own accord.

18 And we have also sent with him our brother, who has received praise throughout all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

19 So that he also has been chosen by the churches to travel with us for this relief which is administered by us to the very glory of God and for our own encouragement:

20 But we are careful in this, lest any one should blame us in connection with this generous help which is administered by us.

21 For we are very careful to do the right thing, not only in the presence of God, but also in the presence of men.

22 And we have sent with them also our brother, who has oftentimes been proven by us in many things, that he is earnest, and now is more earnest because of the abundant trust he has in you.

23 And as to Titus, he is my partner and helper among you: and as to our other brethren, they are the apostles of the churches to the glory of Christ.

24 Henceforth you can shew to them before all the churches the proof of your love and of our pride in you.

2 How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep rooted poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

3 Denn3754 nach2596 allem Vermögen1411 (das zeuge3140 ich) und2532 über5228 Vermögen1411 waren sie selbst willig830

3 For to their power, I can testify, yes, and beyond their power they have shared of their own accord.

4 und2532 fleheten uns2257 mit3326 vielem4183 Ermahnen3874, daß1519 wir1189 aufnähmen1209 die Wohltat5485 und Gemeinschaft2842 der Handreichung1248, die da geschieht den Heiligen40.

4 And besought us most earnestly that they might be partakers in the gift for the ministration to the saints.

5 Und2532 nicht3756, wie2531 wir2532 hofften1679, sondern235 ergaben1325 sich selbst1438 zuerst dem HErrn2962 und4412 danach uns2254 durch1223 den Willen2307 Gottes2316,

5 And this they did, not only as we expected, but first they gave themselves to our LORD, and then to us by the will of God.

6 daß2443 wir2248 mußten Titus5103 ermahnen3870, auf1519 daß er2532, wie2531 er zuvor hatte angefangen4278, also3779 auch2532 unter1519 euch5209 solche5026 Wohltat5485 ausrichtete2005.

6 Insomuch as we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish this same gift among you.

7 Aber2532 gleichwie5618 ihr in1722 allen3956 Stücken reich4052 seid, im1537 Glauben4102 und235 im Wort3056 und2532 in1722 der Erkenntnis1108 und2532 in1722 allerlei3956 Fleiß4710 und2532 in eurer5216 Liebe zu4052 uns2254, also schaffet, daß2443 ihr auch2532 in dieser5026 Wohltat5485 reich seid.

7 Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by our love toward you, you should likewise excel in this gracious favor also.

8 Nicht3756 sage3004 ich, daß ich etwas2596 gebiete2003, sondern235 dieweil1223 andere2087 so fleißig4710 sind1381, versuche ich auch2532 eure5212 Liebe26, ob sie rechter1103 Art sei.

8 I am not making a demand on you, but I am prompted by the devotion of your fellow believers to test the sincerity of your love.

9 Denn1063 ihr1097 wisset die1565 Gnade5485 unsers2257 HErrn2962 JEsu2424 Christi5547, daß3754, ob er wohl reich4145 ist5607, ward4433 er doch arm um1223 euretwillen, auf daß2443 ihr5209 durch1223 seine Armut4432 reich4147 würdet.

9 For you know the gracious gift of our LORD Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might be rich.

10 Und2532 mein Wohlmeinen hierinnen gebe1325 ich. Denn1063 solches ist4851 euch5213 nützlich, die3748 ihr angefangen habt4278 vor575 dem5129 Jahre4070 her, nicht3756 allein3440 das5124 Tun4160, sondern235 auch2532 das Wollen2309.

10 Herein I give you my advice: that it may help you to go forward and accomplish what you, of your own accord, began to do last year.

11 Nun aber1161 vollbringet2005 auch2532 das Tun4160, auf daß3704, gleichwie2509 da ist ein geneigt Gemüt zu wollen2309, so3779 sei auch2532 da ein geneigt Gemüt zu tun von1537 dem, was ihr habt2192.

11 Now therefore perform the doing of that which you wished to do; and as you were eager to promise it, so fulfil from that which you have.

12 Denn1063 so1487 einer5100 willig4288 ist4295, so1437 ist2144 er angenehm, nachdem er hat2192, nicht3756 nachdem er nicht3756 hat2192.

12 For if there is a willingness to give, every man can give according to that which he has, and not according to that which he has not, and his gift will be acceptable.

13 Nicht3756 geschieht das der Meinung, daß2443 die andern243 Ruhe425 haben und1063 ihr5213 Trübsal2347, sondern1161 daß es gleich sei.

13 This is not intended to relieve other men and add a burden to you;

14 So3568 diene1519 euer5216 Überfluß4051 ihrem1565 Mangel5303 diese1565 (teure) Zeit2540 lang1722, auf1537 daß1519 auch2532 ihr Überschwang hernach diene eurem5216 Mangel5303, und235 geschehe1096, was gleich ist1096.

14 But that there may be an equality at this particular time, that your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality.

15 Wie2531 geschrieben1125 stehet: Der3588 viel4183 sammelte, hatte1641 nicht3756 Überfluß4121, und2532 der3588 wenig3641 sammelte, hatte1641 nicht3756 Mangel.

15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

16 GOtt2316 aber1161 sei5485 Dank, der solchen Fleiß4710 für5228 euch5216 gegeben1325 hat in1722 das3588 Herz2588 des846 Titus5103!

16 But thanks be to God, who put the same vigorous care into the heart of Titus for you.

17 Denn3754 er1209 nahm zwar3303 die Ermahnung3874 an; aber1161 dieweil er so sehr fleißig4707 war5225, ist1831 er von selber830 zu4314 euch5209 gereiset.

17 For indeed he has accepted our appeal; and because he was very desirous, he went to you of his own accord.

18 Wir haben4842 aber1161 einen Bruder80 mit3326 ihm846 gesandt; der das3739 Lob1868 hat1722 am Evangelium2098 durch1223 alle3956 Gemeinden1577;

18 And we have also sent with him our brother, who has received praise throughout all the churches for his preaching of the gospel;

19 nicht3756 allein3440 aber1161 das, sondern235 er ist auch2532 verordnet5500 von5259 den Gemeinden1577 zum Gefährten4898 unserer2257 Fahrt in dieser5026 Wohltat5485, welche durch5259 uns2257 ausgerichtet1247 wird4314 dem3588 HErrn2962 zu4862 Ehren und2532 (zum Preis1391) eures5216 guten Willens4288.

19 So that he also has been chosen by the churches to travel with us for this relief which is administered by us to the very glory of God and for our own encouragement:

20 Und verhüten4724 das5124, daß uns2248 nicht3361 jemand5100 übel nachreden möge3469 solcher reichen Steuer100 halben, die5026 durch1722 uns2257 ausgerichtet1247 wird.

20 But we are careful in this, lest any one should blame us in connection with this generous help which is administered by us.

21 und2532 sehen darauf4306, daß es redlich zugehe2570, nicht3756 allein3440 vor1799 dem HErrn2962, sondern235 auch vor1799 den444 Menschen.

21 For we are very careful to do the right thing, not only in the presence of God, but also in the presence of men.

22 Auch haben1381 wir4842 mit ihnen gesandt unsern2257 Bruder80, den3739 wir oft4178 gespüret haben1381 in1722 vielen4183 Stücken4183, daß1519 er846 fleißig4705 sei5607, nun1161 aber1161 viel4183 fleißiger4707.

22 And we have sent with them also our brother, who has oftentimes been proven by us in many things, that he is earnest, and now is more earnest because of the abundant trust he has in you.

23 Und2532 wir sind1535 großer Zuversicht zu1519 euch5209, es sei1535 des Titus5103 halben, welcher mein1699 Geselle2844 und Gehilfe4904 unter5228 euch ist, oder unserer2257 Brüder80 halben, welche Apostel652 sind der Gemeinden1577 und eine Ehre1391 Christi5547.

23 And as to Titus, he is my partner and helper among you: and as to our other brethren, they are the apostles of the churches to the glory of Christ.

24 Erzeiget1731 nun3767 die Beweisung1732 eurer5216 Liebe26 und2532 unsers2257 Ruhms von5228 euch5216 an1519 diesen, auch2532 öffentlich5228 vor den846 Gemeinden1577.

24 Henceforth you can shew to them before all the churches the proof of your love and of our pride in you.
