2 Corinthians 8:11-19

11Now also finish the task, so that just as there was an eager desire, there may also be a completion, according to what you have.

12For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

13It is not that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality.

14At the present time your surplus is available for their need, so that their abundance may in turn meet your need, in order that there may be equality.

15As it is written: The person who had much did not have too much, and the person who had little did not have too little.

16Thanks be to God, who put the same concern for you into the heart of Titus.

17For he welcomed our appeal and, being very diligent, went out to you by his own choice.

18We have sent with him the brother who is praised among all the churches for his gospel ministry.

19And not only that, but he was also appointed by the churches to accompany us with this gracious gift that we are administering for the glory of the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help.
