2 Corinthians 8:9

2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the chiefest of motives to giving. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor. Our Lord gave up all for us. He became poor that we might be rich in heavenly riches. If he gave himself for us, what shall we give for him? Compare Philippians 2:7. Christ parted with riches and took poverty; with glory and took humiliation; with bliss and took suffering, all for our sakes. The passage compares Christ's pre-existent state with that he had on earth.
