In Context

7 but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

8 I do not speak as commanding it, but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that ye by his poverty might be enriched.

10 And I give my opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

11 But now also complete the doing of it; so that as there was the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.
