2 Corinthians 8:6-10

6So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;

7but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

8I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.

9For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that ye by his poverty might be enriched.

10And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
