2 Corinthians 8:9

---

← 2 Corinthians 8:8	2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 8:10 →
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.	For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.	And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
