2 Corinthians 8:11-15

11So now finish this, so that your eagerness in desiring it may be equaled by your completion of it, according to your ability.

12For if the eagerness [to give] is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

13For it is not [intended] that others be relieved [of their responsibility] and that you be burdened [unfairly], but that there be equality [in sharing the burden]—

14at this present time your surplus [over necessities] is going to supply their need, so that [at some other time] their surplus may be given to supply your need, that there may be equality;

15as it is written [in Scripture], “He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not lack.”
