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.

6 so that we urged[a] Titus that just as he previously-began, so also he should complete this grace[b] with reference to you also.
I Urge You To Abound In This Grace of Giving Because It Is Beneficial For You!
7 But just as you are abounding in everything— in faith and speech and knowledge and all earnestness, and in the love from us in you— I urge that you also be abounding in this grace. 8 I am not speaking by way of command, but am proving[c] through the earnestness of others the genuineness of your love also. 9 For you know the grace[d] of our Lord Jesus Christ— that for your sakes He became-poor while being rich, in order that you might become-rich by the poverty of that One.
