2 Corinthians 8:8 Context
6In so much that wee desired Titus, that as he had begun, so hee would also finish in you, the same grace also. 7Therefore (as ye abound in euery thing, in faith, and vtterance, & knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your loue to vs) see that yee abound in this grace also. 8I speake not by commandement, but by occasion of the forwardnesse of others, and to prooue the sinceritie of your loue. 9For yee know the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poore, that yee through his pouertie might be rich. 10And herein I giue my aduice, for this is expedient for you, who haue begun before, not onely to doe, but also to be forward a yeere agoe.
