2 Corinthians 8:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Therefore, as ye abound in everything, in faith and word, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love towards us, even so see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 [a]This say I not by commandment, but because of the [b]diligence of others: therefore prove I the [c]naturalness of your love.
9 [d]For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he being rich, for your sakes became poor, that ye through his poverty might be made rich.
