I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

I am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love through the earnestness of others.

οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν λέγω ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων σπουδῆς καὶ τὸ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀγάπης γνήσιον δοκιμάζων·
