2 Corinthians 8:6-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 so that we urged[a] Titus that just as he previously-began, so also he should complete this grace[b] with reference to you also.
I Urge You To Abound In This Grace of Giving Because It Is Beneficial For You!
7 But just as you are abounding in everything— in faith and speech and knowledge and all earnestness, and in the love from us in you— I urge that you also be abounding in this grace. 8 I am not speaking by way of command, but am proving[c] through the earnestness of others the genuineness of your love also. 9 For you know the grace[d] of our Lord Jesus Christ— that for your sakes He became-poor while being rich, in order that you might become-rich by the poverty of that One.

2 Corinthians 8:6-9
New International Version
6 So we urged(A) Titus,(B) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(C) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(D)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(E) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8 I am not commanding you,(F) but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace(G) of our Lord Jesus Christ,(H) that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,(I) so that you through his poverty might become rich.(J)
