2 Corinthians 8:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 So we (A)urged (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)excel (F)in everything, in faith, speaking, knowledge, and in all earnestness and in the [a]love we inspired in you, see that you also (G)excel in this gracious work. 8 I (H)am not saying this as a command, but as proving, through the earnestness of others, the sincerity of your love as well. 9 For you know (I)the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that (J)though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:6-9
American Standard Version
6 Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. 7 But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in [a]your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. 9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.
