2 Corinthians 8:17

For he accepted our urging and, being very diligent, went out to you by his own choice.

So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete this grace to you.

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

Now I am giving an opinion on this because it is profitable for you, who a year ago began not only to do something but also to desire it.

Brothers, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete this grace to you.

Brothers, I urge you to receive this message of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.
