2 Corinthians 8:9

Jesus Kristus Nåde Raushet og gavmildhet Fattigdom og de svake

⁷ But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

⁸ I am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

¹⁰ And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.

¹¹ Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
