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.

6 so that we might urge Titus that, as he had already made a beginning, so he should also complete this generous undertaking[a] among you.(A) 7 Now as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness, and in our love for you[b]—so we want you to excel also in this generous undertaking.[c](B)
8 I do not say this as a command, but I am, by mentioning the eagerness of others, testing the genuineness of your love.(C) 9 For you know the generous act[d] of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.(D)
