2 Corinthians 8:7-15

7But as ye aboundG4052 in everythingG3956, in faithG4102, and utterance, and knowledgeG1108, and in all earnestnessG4710, and in your loveG26 to us, see that ye aboundG4052 in this graceG5485 alsoG2532. 8I speakG3004 not by way of commandmentG2003, but as proving through the earnestnessG4710 of othersG2087 the sincerity alsoG2532 of your loveG26. 9For ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that, though he wasG1510 richG4145, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his povertyG4432 might become richG4145. 10And herein I giveG1325 my judgmentG1106: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to makeG4160 a beginning a yearG4070 ago, not onlyG3440 to do, but alsoG2532 to will. 11But nowG1161 completeG2005 the doing alsoG2532; that as there was the readinessG4288 to willG2309, so there may be the completion alsoG2532 out of your ability. 12For if the readinessG4288 is there, it is acceptableG2144 according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. 13For I say not this that othersG243 may be eased and ye distressed; 14but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this presentG3568 timeG2540 for their want, that their abundance alsoG2532 may becomeG1096 a supply for your want; that there may be equality: 15as it is writtenG1125, He that gathered muchG4183 had nothing over; and he that gathered littleG3641 had no lack.
