2 Corinthians 8:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Now as you excel in everything—in faith, speech, knowledge,^(A) and in all diligence, and in your love for us^[a]—excel also in this act of grace. ⁸ I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though he was rich,^(B) for your sake he became poor,^(C) so that by his poverty you might become rich.
