2 Corinthians 8:5-11
New King James Version
5 And not only as we had hoped, but they first (A)gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the (B)will of God. 6 So (C)we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well. 7 But as (D)you abound in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us—see (E)that you abound in this grace also.
Christ Our Pattern
8 (F)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, (G)that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become (H)rich.
10 And in this (I)I give advice: (J)It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and (K)were desiring to do a year ago; 11 but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
