2 Corinthians 8:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8
7 De même que vous excellez en toutes choses, en foi, en parole, en connaissance, en zèle à tous égards, et dans votre amour pour nous, faites en sorte d’exceller aussi dans cette œuvre de bienfaisance.
8 Je ne dis pas cela pour donner un ordre, mais pour éprouver, par le zèle des autres, la sincérité de votre charité.
9 Car vous connaissez la grâce de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, qui pour vous s’est fait pauvre, de riche qu’il était, afin que par sa pauvreté vous fussiez enrichis.
10 C’est un avis que je donne là-dessus, car cela vous convient, à vous qui non seulement avez commencé à agir, mais qui en avez eu la volonté dès l’année dernière.
11 Achevez donc maintenant d’agir, afin que l’accomplissement selon vos moyens réponde à l’empressement que vous avez mis à vouloir.
