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

2 Corinthians 8:6-9
English Standard Version
6 Accordingly, (A)we urged Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you (B)this act of grace. 7 But as (C)you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you[a]—(D)see that you excel in this act of grace also.
8 (E)I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that (F)though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
