MKJV(i)
5 And not as we hoped, but first they gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God,
6 for us to call on Titus, that even as he began before, so he would also complete this grace to you also.
7 But even as you abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us; you should abound in this grace also.
8 I do not speak according to command, but through the eagerness of others, and testing the trueness of your love.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, for your sakes He became poor, in order that you might be made rich through His poverty.
10 And in this I give my judgment; for this is profitable for you, who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing a year ago.
11 But now also finish the doing of it, so that, as there was a readiness to will, so also the finishing, giving out of what you have.
