2 Corinthians 8:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ As a result, we urged Titus that, inasmuch as he had already begun this work of charity, he should bring this enterprise to a successful completion among you.

The Example of Christ. ⁷ Now, inasmuch as you excel in everything—in your faith, your eloquence, your knowledge, your concern for others, and your love for us^[a]—so we want you also to excel in this generous undertaking.

⁸ I am not saying this to you as a command, but rather I am testing the genuine character of your love by the concern you show for others.
