2 Corinthians 8:13-17

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.”

16But thanks be to God who puts the same genuine concern for you in the heart of Titus.

17For Titus not only accepted our appeal, but was so very interested in you that he has gone to visit you of his own accord.
