So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.

因此我劝提多，既然在你们中间开办这慈惠的事，就当办成了。

因此，我们劝提多，既然在你们中间开始这慈善的事，就当把它办成。

因此，我们劝提多，既然在你们中间开始这慈善的事，就当把它办成。

所以，我们劝提多要继续完成他早先在你们当中开始的这件善事。

因此，我们勉励提多，既然开始了这慈善的事，就应当在你们那里把这事办好。

我们于是劝提多，他怎样开始了这恩惠之事，就当照样在你们那里把它完成；

因此我勸提多，既然在你們中間開辦這慈惠的事，就當辦成了。

因此，我們勸提多，既然在你們中間開始這慈善的事，就當把它辦成。

因此，我們勸提多，既然在你們中間開始這慈善的事，就當把它辦成。

所以，我們勸提多要繼續完成他早先在你們當中開始的這件善事。

因此，我們勉勵提多，既然開始了這慈善的事，就應當在你們那裡把這事辦好。

故此我們力勸提多說：他既怎樣把這捐獻恩惠的事提倡並開辦，就該怎樣在你們中間辦成。

我們於是勸提多，他怎樣開始了這恩惠之事，就當照樣在你們那裡把它完成；

以致我勸提多既於爾中肇行此惠、亦當畢之、

吾亦勸提多在爾中、畢捐金之事、

故我勸提多既於爾中首勸施惠捐貲、亦當畢此事、

以是吾儕亦鼓勵提多繼續向爾等勸募、俾成爾等之美德。

So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part.

Titus had already started collecting money from you. So we asked him to help you finish making your kind gift.

Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.

So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving.

So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete among you this act of grace.

So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

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

So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete this grace to you.

Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

Thus we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun this work, so also he should complete this act of kindness for you.

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

I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints,

But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness in your behalf in the heart of Titus.For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord.

and not only that, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness,

But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

So I considered it necessary to urge the brothers that they go on ahead to you and arrange in advance your previously promised generous gift, that the same would be ready as a generous gift, and not as one grudgingly given due to greediness.

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God.
