2 Corinthians 8:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Titus was the one who got you started doing this good thing, so we begged him to help you finish what you had begun. ⁷ You do everything better than anyone else. You have stronger faith. You speak better and know more. You are eager to give, and you love us better.^[a] Now you must give more generously than anyone else.

⁸ I am not ordering you to do this. I am simply testing how real your love is by comparing it with the concern that others have shown.
