“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.”
2 Corinthians 8:7 (BSB)
Context Reading
5And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, through the will of God. 6So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it. 7But 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. 8I am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love through the earnestness of others. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
