2 Corinthians 8:7-9 Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by our love toward you, you should likewise excel in this gracious favor also.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith, in the word of God, in knowledge, in all perseverance, and by our love toward you, you should likewise excel in this gracious favor also. ⁸ I am not making a demand on you, but I am prompted by the devotion of your fellow believers to test the sincerity of your love. ⁹ For you know the gracious gift of our LORD Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might be rich.
