2 Corinthians 8:5 Context
3For to their power (I beare record) yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselues: 4Praying vs with much entreatie, that we would receiue the gift, and take vpon vs the fellowship of the ministring to the Saints. 5And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gaue their owne selues to the Lord, and vnto vs, by the will of God. 6In so much that wee desired Titus, that as he had begun, so hee would also finish in you, the same grace also. 7Therefore (as ye abound in euery thing, in faith, and vtterance, & knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your loue to vs) see that yee abound in this grace also.
