← 2 Corinthians 8:4	2 Corinthians 8:5 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 8:6 →
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.	And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.	Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
