2 Corinthians 8:6-9
Legacy Standard Bible
6 So we (A)encouraged (B)Titus that as he had previously (C)made a beginning, so he would also complete in you (D)this gracious work as well.
7 But just as you (E)abound (F)in everything, in faith and word and knowledge and in all earnestness and in [a]the love we inspired in you, see that you (G)abound in this gracious work also. 8 I (H)am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also. 9 For you know (I)the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that (J)though being rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Common English Bible
6 As a result, we challenged Titus to finish this work of grace with you the way he had started it.
7 Be the best in this work of grace in the same way that you are the best in everything, such as faith, speech, knowledge, total commitment, and the love we inspired in you. 8 I’m not giving an order, but by mentioning the commitment of others, I’m trying to prove the authenticity of your love also. 9 You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you could become rich through his poverty.
