2 Corinthians 8:7-9 But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But as you have excelled in every thing, in faith, and in doctrine, and in knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love toward you, so also in this beneficence may you excel. ⁸ Not as though commanding I command you, but, from the diligence of your companions, the truth of your love would I put to the test. ⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched.
