2 Corinthians 8:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ I am not commanding you to give. But I want to see if your love is true by comparing you with others that really want to help. ⁹ You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. You know that Christ was rich, but for you he became poor so that by his becoming poor you might become rich.

¹⁰ This is what I think you should do: Last year you were the first to want to give, and you were the first who gave.
