2 Corinthians 8:5 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8
3 Ils ont, je l’atteste, donné volontairement selon leurs moyens, et même au-delà de leurs moyens,
4 nous demandant avec de grandes instances la grâce de prendre part à l’assistance destinée aux saints.
5 Et non seulement ils ont contribué comme nous l’espérions, mais ils se sont d’abord donnés eux-mêmes au Seigneur, puis à nous, par la volonté de Dieu.
6 Nous avons donc engagé Tite à achever chez vous cette œuvre de bienfaisance, comme il l’avait commencée.
7 De même que vous excellez en toutes choses, en foi, en parole, en connaissance, en zèle à tous égards, et dans votre amour pour nous, faites en sorte d’exceller aussi dans cette œuvre de bienfaisance.
