6Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.

7But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.

8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

9For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

10And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

11But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.

12For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.
