So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.

2 Corinthians 8:1
And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;
2 Corinthians 8:2
How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.
2 Corinthians 8:3
For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,
2 Corinthians 8:4
Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:
2 Corinthians 8:5
And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

2 Corinthians 8:16
But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
2 Corinthians 8:17
For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
2 Corinthians 8:18
And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;
2 Corinthians 8:19
And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
2 Corinthians 8:22
And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.
2 Corinthians 8:23
If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

2 Corinthians 8:8
I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
2 Corinthians 8:10
And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.
2 Corinthians 8:11
Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.
