Begging us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

Praying us. Begging us to undertake the gracious work of collection, and take our part in it. The Apostle often applies the word χάÏις (gift) to what is gratuitous and munificent. Here he applies it to the work of collection. In ver7 and elsewhere he applies it to the alms itself.
