          2In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
          3For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
          4they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
          5And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, because it was the will of God.

⁶So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.
