3 Pois dou testemunho de que foram voluntários segundo [sua] capacidade e até além de [sua] capacidade,

4 Pedindo-nos com muito entusiasmo que aceitássemos a graça e a comunhão deste serviço para os santos.

5 E não [somente fizeram] como nós esperávamos, mas também entregaram a si mesmos, primeiramente ao Senhor, e [depois] a nós, pela vontade de Deus.

6 De maneira que convocamos a Tito para que, assim como tinha começado antes, assim também terminasse esta graça entre vós.

7 Portanto, assim como em tudo abundais: em fé, em palavra, em conhecimento, em todo empenho, e em vosso amor por nós; sede também abundantes nesta graça.
