2 Corinthians 8:9-15

9For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that ye by his poverty might be enriched.

10And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

11But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.

12For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.

13For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,

14but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality.

15According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.
