2 Corinthians 8:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.^[a] Although he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, so that you, through his poverty, might become rich.

¹⁰ I am giving you my opinion on this matter because it will be helpful to you. Last year you were not only willing to do something, but had already started to do it. ¹¹ Now finish what you began, so that your eagerness to do so may be matched by your eagerness^[b] to complete it.
