2 Corinthians 8:6 Context
4Praying vs with much entreatie, that we would receiue the gift, and take vpon vs the fellowship of the ministring to the Saints. 5And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gaue their owne selues to the Lord, and vnto vs, by the will of God. 6In so much that wee desired Titus, that as he had begun, so hee would also finish in you, the same grace also. 7Therefore (as ye abound in euery thing, in faith, and vtterance, & knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your loue to vs) see that yee abound in this grace also. 8I speake not by commandement, but by occasion of the forwardnesse of others, and to prooue the sinceritie of your loue.

2Co 8:6 We desired Titus, that as he had begun. This faithful fellow laborer of Paul, when he had gone to Corinth when Paul's first epistle was sent, had begun the collection which it commanded in 1Co 16:1. So he would also finish in you. Now Paul directs that Titus return and complete the collection before the arrival of Paul (Ac 20:1-3). The same grace also. The grace of giving.
