with much entreaty imploring of us for the grace and the fellowship of the service among the saints (to receive us, *K*)

5 and no as/just as to hope/expect but themself to give first the/this/who lord: God and me through/because of will/desire God

And not [only] even as we had hoped, but themselves they gave first to the Lord and then to us through [the] will of God
