2 Corinthians 8:5 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8

3 Pues de su grado [han dado] conforme á sus fuerzas, yo testifico, y aun sobre sus fuerzas;

4 Pidiéndonos con muchos ruegos, que aceptásemos la gracia y la comunicación del servicio para los santos.

5 Y no como [lo] esperábamos, mas aun á sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y á nosotros por la voluntad de Dios.

6 De manera que exhortamos á Tito, que como comenzó antes, así también acabe esta gracia entre vosotros también.

7 Por tanto, como en todo abundáis, en fe, y en palabra, y en ciencia, y en toda solicitud, y en vuestro amor para con nosotros, que también abundéis en esta gracia.
