2 Corinthians 8:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ You know the grace shown by our Lord Jesus Christ. Even though he was rich, he became poor to help you. Because he became poor, you can become rich.

¹⁰ Here is my opinion about what is best for you in that matter. Last year you were the first to give. You were also the first to want to give. ¹¹ So finish the work. Then your desire to do it will be matched by your finishing it. Give on the basis of what you have.
