2 Corinthians 8:10-15

¹⁰I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it. ¹¹But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the willingness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability. ¹²For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. ¹³For this is not for the relief of others and for your hardship, but by way of equality— ¹⁴at this present time your abundance will serve as assistance for their need, so that their abundance also may serve as assistance for your need, so that there may be equality; ¹⁵as it is written: “The one who had gathered much did not have too much, and the one who had gathered little did not have too little.”
