butb even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

JND Translation Notes

b
"But," not "therefore" (as in A.V.). The apostle means "but it is," or "my object in doing so is," or "what I have in my mind in thus sending Titus is."

W. Kelly Translation

buta as ye abound in everything, faith and word and knowledge and all diligence and love from youb to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
There is no real ground for translating the word "but" as "therefore;" "but" introduces a new appeal.
b
Some adopt the strange reading "from us to you." Internal evidence would be decisive against this if the external evidence were not as strong as it is.
