2 Corinthians 8:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 So we (A)encouraged (B)Titus that as he had previously (C)made a beginning, so he would also complete in you (D)this gracious work as well.
7 But just as you (E)abound (F)in everything, in faith and word and knowledge and in all earnestness and in [a]the love we inspired in you, see that you (G)abound in this gracious work also. 8 I (H)am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also.

2 Corinthians 8:6-8
New International Version
6 So we urged(A) Titus,(B) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(C) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(D)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(E) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8 I am not commanding you,(F) but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.
