Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear record, you that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
μαρτυρῶ γὰρ αὐτῷ ὅτι ἔχει ζῆλον πολὺν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ἐν Λαοδικείᾳ καὶ τῶν ἐν Ἱεραπόλει
For I bear record, him that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
