2 Corinthians 8:7-9

Contemporary English Version

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. ⁹ You know our Lord Jesus Christ treated us with undeserved grace by giving up all his riches, so you could become rich.
