2 Corinthians 8:6-10

6SoG3779 we 1urgedG3870 2TitusG5103 that as he had previouslyG4278 3madeG4278 aG4278 beginningG4278, soG3779 he would alsoG2532 completeG2005 in you 4thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485 asG2532 wellG2532.

7But justG5618 as you 5excelG4052 6in everythingG3956, in faithG4102, speakingG3056, knowledgeG1108, and in allG3956 earnestnessG4710 and in the 7loveG26 we inspiredG1537 in you, see that you alsoG2532 8excelG4052 in thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485. 8I 9am not sayingG3004 this as a commandG2003, but as provingG1381, throughG1223 the earnestnessG4710 of othersG2087, the sincerityG1103 of your loveG26 asG2532 wellG2532. 9For you knowG1097 10the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that 11though He was richG4145, yet for your sakeG1223 He becameG4433 poorG4434, soG2443 thatG2443 you through His povertyG4432 might becomeG4147 richG4147. 10I 12giveG1325 my opinionG1106 in thisG3778 matter, for thisG3778 isG4851 toG4851 your advantageG4851, whoG3748 were the firstG4278 toG4278 beginG4278 13a yearG4070 agoG4070 not onlyG3440 to doG4160 this, but alsoG2532 to desireG2309 to do it.
