Kehillah in Corinth II 8:8-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁸ I do not lay this out as a mitzvah, but the sincerity of your ahavah I am testing against the zerizut of others,

⁹ For you have da’as of the Chen v’Chesed of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, who, though being rich, for your sakes, he became poor, [Mt 8:20; Pp 2:6-7] that you by Moshiach’s oni (poverty) may become rich.

¹⁰ And in this I give my etza (advice): it is tov me’od that last shanah you were the first not only to give tzedakah but also to be willing to do so.
