2 Corinthians 8:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God’s will. ⁶ So we urged Titus to finish this work of kindness^[a] among you in the same way that he had started it. ⁷ Indeed, the more your faith, speech, knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for us increase, the more we want you to be rich in this work of kindness.^[b]
