2 Corinthians 8:7-9

7 But as ^ayou excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you ^{▼▼Some manuscripts in your love for us}— ^csee that you excel in this act of grace also.

8 ^dI 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 ^ethough he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
