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.

Lexham English Bible
6 So we urged Titus that, just as he had previously begun it, thus he would also complete for you this act of grace. 7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith and in speaking and in knowledge and with all diligence and in the love from us that is in you—so may you excel in this grace also. 8 I am not saying this as a command, but proving the genuineness of your love by means of the diligence of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he[a] was rich, for your sake he became poor, in order that you, by his poverty, may become rich.
