2 Corinthians 8:4
II Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much intreaty. They insisted on doing more than the apostle felt that they ought to do.
2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and atheir deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality.
3 For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,
4 imploring us with much urgency1 that we would receive the gift and athe fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 And not only as we had hoped, but they first agave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the bwill of God.
6 So awe urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.
7 But as ayou abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see bthat you abound in this grace also.
Christ Our Pattern
8 aI speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.
