Kehillah in Corinth II 8:6-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶ So that it was necessary for us to urge Titos that as he began and made a haschala (start) before, so he should complete among you also this mitzvah of avodas kodesh of the Chen v’Chesed Hashem.

⁷ Now just as you abound in everything‖in emunah, in torah, in da’as [1C 1:5] and in all zerizut (diligence) and in our ahavah (love) for you‖see also that you excel in this Chen v’Chesed Hashem. [1C 16:1 2]

⁸ I do not lay this out as a mitzvah, but the sincerity of your ahavah I am testing against the zerizut of others,
