2 Corinthians 8:8-12

8I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.

10And in this matter I am giving advice because it is profitable for you, who began last year not only to do something but also to want to do it.

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.
