2 Corinthians 8:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹⁰ And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
