12

(GRK)   ei gar h proyumia prokeitai kayo ean ech tiv euprosdektov ou kayo ouk ecei

15

(GRK)   kaywv gegraptai o to polu ouk epleonasen kai o to oligon ouk hlattonhsen

(KJV)   And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
(ASV)   and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and to show our readiness:

 

20

(GRK)   stellomenoi touto mh tiv hmav mwmhshtai en th adrothti tauth th diakonoumenh uf hmwn
(YLT)   avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
