⁹ And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced -- great joy.

⁷ each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,

⁸ and God `is' able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

³ because, according to `their' power, I testify, and above `their' power, they were willing of themselves,

⁶¹ and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as `at' this day.'

¹⁰ And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

¹⁷ `And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee.

⁶ And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also `to see' you,

⁷ because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

⁹ for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God?

¹ So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

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;

⁶ and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep -- the lost one.

¹⁵ My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth, even mine,

¹⁶ And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.

³ Thy people `are' free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

⁹ My heart `is' to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!

¹⁰ and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee.

¹¹ And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who `is' within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who `are' in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,
