2 Corinthians 8:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ and this, not as we expected, but they ^(A)gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us. ⁶ Accordingly, ^(B)we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you ^(C)this act of grace. ⁷ But as ^(D)you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you^[a]—^(E)see that you excel in this act of grace also.
