2 Corinthians 8:8-10

21st Century King James Version

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forthcoming of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.

¹⁰ And herein I give my advice, for this is expedient for you, who began earlier not only to do, but also to be in the forefront a year ago.
