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.

8 (D)I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, (E)that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become (F)rich.
