rsv 2Corinthians:8:7-8
rsv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ Now as you excel in everything--in faith, in utterance, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in your love for us--see that you excel in this gracious work also.
rsv@2Corinthians:8:8 @ I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.
