2 Corinthians 8:7-11

7But justG5618 as you 1excelG4052 2in everythingG3956, in faithG4102, speakingG3056, knowledgeG1108, and in allG3956 earnestnessG4710 and in the 3loveG26 we inspiredG1537 in you, see that you alsoG2532 4excelG4052 in thisG3778 graciousG5485 workG5485.

8I 5am not sayingG3004 this as a commandG2003, but as provingG1381, throughG1223 the earnestnessG4710 of othersG2087, the sincerityG1103 of your loveG26 asG2532 wellG2532.

9For you knowG1097 6the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that 7though He was richG4145, yet for your sakeG1223 He becameG4433 poorG4434, soG2443 thatG2443 you through His povertyG4432 might becomeG4147 richG4147.

10I 8giveG1325 my opinionG1106 in thisG3778 matter, for thisG3778 isG4851 toG4851 your advantageG4851, whoG3748 were the firstG4278 toG4278 beginG4278 9a yearG4070 agoG4070 not onlyG3440 to doG4160 this, but alsoG2532 to desireG2309 to do it.

11But nowG3570 finishG2005 10doingG4160 it alsoG2532, soG3704 thatG3704 justG2509 asG2509 there was the 11willingnessG4288 to desireG2309 it, soG3779 there may be alsoG2532 the completionG2005 of it by your abilityG2192.
