 3For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
 4Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
 5And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
 6Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
 7Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
 8I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

James 2:15‑17• 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
 16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

;
1 John 3:14‑17• 14We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
 15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
 16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
 17But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (1 John 3:14‑17)
• Nor is it only these that believe and love who hail every good fruit, but God is not unjust to forget what His grace produces (“Hebrews 6:9-12” by W. Kelly)
• But it is foolish to say that love can be without faith. The acceptable work, the love, is what is shown toward His name, and very especially in service to His saints. One may have all faith as a gift, so as to remove mountains, but without love one is nothing. (“Hebrews 6:9-12” by W. Kelly)
• this love which is of God is not blind but discerns clearly, as the eye is single. (“Hebrews 6:9-12” by W. Kelly)
• As ever, reward is brought in to encourage in the face of difficulties. (“Comfort and Encouragement: Hebrews 6:9-20” by H. Smith)
