2 Corinthians 8:8-10

Contemporary English Version

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.

¹⁰ A year ago you were the first ones to give, and you gave because you wanted to. So listen to my advice.
