2 Corinthians 8:9 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8
7 Portanto, assim como em tudo abundais: em fé, em palavra, em conhecimento, em todo empenho, e em vosso amor por nós; sede também abundantes nesta graça.
8 Eu não digo [isto] como que mandando, mas sim para também, por meio do empenho dos outros, provar a sinceridade de vosso amor.
9 Porque já conheceis a graça de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que, sendo rico, por causa de vós se fez pobre; para que com a pobreza dele, vós enriquecêsseis.
10 E nisto dou [minha] opinião: porque isto vos convém, não somente a fazer, mas também a querer, dado que começastes desde o ano passado.
11 Portanto agora completai também o que já foi começado; para que, assim como houve ânimo no querer, assim também o seja no que tendes de completar.
