2 Corinthians 8:17

¹⁷For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.

¹⁷For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

¹⁷For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.

¹⁷Though he agreed to do what we told him, he's coming to see you because he really wants to, and had already decided to do so.

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

²²But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

¹⁰I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

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