2 Corinthians 8:9 in context

  1. 7But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.
  2. 8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
  3. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
  4. 10I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
  5. 11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
