The Appeal Renewed

2 You then, my son,^(A) be strong^(B) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

⁶ So we urged^(A) Titus,^(B) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion^(C) this act of grace on your part. ⁷ But since you excel in everything^(D)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,^(E) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you^[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

¹⁶ Let us then approach^(A) God’s throne of grace with confidence,^(B) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
