⁶ So we ^(A)encouraged ^(B)Titus that as he had previously ^(C)made a beginning, so he would also complete in you ^(D)this gracious work as well.

⁷ But just as you ^(E)abound ^(F)in everything, in faith and word and knowledge and in all earnestness and in ^[a]the love we inspired in you, see that you ^(G)abound in this gracious work also. ⁸ I ^(H)am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also. ⁹ For you know ^(I)the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ^(J)though being rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
