New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Corinthians 8:7-9
7But just as you 1abound 2in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the 3love we inspired in you, see that you 4abound in this gracious work also.
8I 5am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.
9For you know 6the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that 7though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
