2 Corinthians 8:17

for he not only complied with the exhortation, but being more forward he went to you of his own accord.

Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had already begun, so he would also complete this grace among you.

I speak not by way of command, but to prove the sincerity of your love also, by means of the forwardness of others.

And herein I give my opinion: for this is to your advantage, who not only began to act, but also to be forward to it above a year ago.

I beseech you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation: as I have written to you in brief.
