2 Corinthians 8:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Just as you are rich in everything—in faith and speech, in knowledge and all sincerity, and in the love we have shown among you^[a]—now I ask you to invest richly in this gracious work too. ⁸ I am not going to command you, but I am going to offer you the chance to prove your love genuine in the same way others have done. ⁹ You know the grace that has come to us through our Lord Jesus the Anointed. He set aside His infinite riches and was born into the lowest circumstance so that you may gain great riches through His humble poverty.
