2 Corinthians 8:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
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.

2 Corinthians 8:5-7
New International Version
5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged(A) Titus,(B) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(C) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(D)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(E) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
