2 Corinthians 8:8-13
8I 1am not sayingG3004 this as a commandG2003, but as provingG1381, throughG1223 the earnestnessG4710 of othersG2087, the sincerityG1103 of your loveG26 asG2532 wellG2532.
9For you knowG1097 2the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that 3though He was richG4145, yet for your sakeG1223 He becameG4433 poorG4434, soG2443 thatG2443 you through His povertyG4432 might becomeG4147 richG4147.
10I 4giveG1325 my opinionG1106 in thisG3778 matter, for thisG3778 isG4851 toG4851 your advantageG4851, whoG3748 were the firstG4278 toG4278 beginG4278 5a yearG4070 agoG4070 not onlyG3440 to doG4160 this, but alsoG2532 to desireG2309 to do it.
11But nowG3570 finishG2005 6doingG4160 it alsoG2532, soG3704 thatG3704 justG2509 asG2509 there was the 7willingnessG4288 to desireG2309 it, soG3779 there may be alsoG2532 the completionG2005 of it by your abilityG2192.
12For ifG1487 the willingnessG4288 is presentG4295, it is acceptableG2144 8accordingG2526 toG2526 whatG2526 a person hasG2192, not accordingG2526 toG2526 whatG2526 he does not haveG2192.
13For this is not for the reliefG425 of othersG243 and for your hardshipG2347, but by wayG1537 of equalityG2471--
