2 Corinthians 8:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
10 [e]And I show my mind herein: for this is expedient for you, which have begun not to do only, but also to [f]will, a year ago.
