2 Corinthians 8:5-7

New American Standard Bible

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)excel ^(H)in everything, in faith, speaking, knowledge, and in all earnestness and in the ^[b]love we inspired in you, see that you also ^(I)excel in this gracious work.
