2 Corinthians 8:6-10

6So we urged Titus that, just as he had made a start before, so he should also complete this gracious service for you.

7But as you excel in everything—in faith and speech and knowledge and all diligence, and in your love for us—also excel in this grace.

8I am saying this not as a command, but I am trying to prove by the diligence of others the genuineness of your love as well.

9For you know the grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah—that even though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that through His poverty you might become rich.

10Now I give my opinion in this matter, that it is a credit to you that a year ago you were the first to start—not only to do but even to be willing.
