2 Corinthians 8:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.

⁸ I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.
