2 Corinthians 8:9 In-Context

7 Now therfore as ye are ryche in all parties in fayth in worde in knowledge in all fervetnes and in love which ye have to vs: even so se that ye be plenteons in this benivolence.
8 Thys saye I not as commaundynge: but be cause other are so fervent therfore prove I youre love whether it be perfait or no.
9 Ye knowe the liberalitie of oure lorde Iesus Christ which though he were riche yet for youre sakes be came poore: that ye thorow his povertie myght be made ryche.
10 And I geve counsell hereto. For this is expedient for you which beganne not to do only: but also to will a yeare a goo.
11 Now therfore performe the dede: that as ther was in you a redines to will even so ye maye performe the dede of that which ye have.
