2 Corinthians 8:7-9
Jubilee Bible 2000
7 ¶ Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all diligence and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 I speak not as commanding, but by occasion of the diligence of others and to prove the sincerity of your charity.
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 enriched.

2 Corinthians 8:7-9
New International Version
7 But since you excel in everything(A)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(B) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8 I am not commanding you,(C) but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace(D) of our Lord Jesus Christ,(E) that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,(F) so that you through his poverty might become rich.(G)
