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.
