4 begging us with great earnestness for the blessing and fellowship of helping the saints.

Darby

4 begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace^D8466 and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.

Darby Bible Notes

grace - The 'grace' here is not the collection, but the grace and favour shown to the poor in the gift. Instead of Paul having to press this grace on the Macedonians, they beg of him the grace and fellowship (koinonia) of the administration; that is, to be the instrument (though an apostle) of its manifestation by them. The 'grace and fellowship' is the active exercise of grace towards the Jewish saints. This they begged of Paul. (See ver. 19.)

KJV
