2 Corinthians 8:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 and this, not as we had [a]expected, but they first (A)gave themselves to the Lord and to us by (B)the will of God. 6 So we (C)urged (D)Titus that as he had previously (E)made a beginning, so he would also complete in you (F)this gracious work as well.
7 But just as you (G)abound (H)in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the [b]love we inspired in you, see that you (I)abound in this gracious work 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.
