2 Corinthians 8:6-10

6Accordingly, we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you this act of grace.

7But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.

8I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

10And in this matter I give my judgment: this benefits you, who a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it.
