2 Corinthians 8:9-15

9For ye knowG1097 the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that for your sakes he, beingG1510 richG4145, became poor, in orderG2443 that ye by his povertyG4432 might beG1510 enriched.

10And I giveG1325 [my] opinion in this, for this is profitableG4851 for you who began before, not onlyG3440 to do, but alsoG2532 to be willingG2309, a yearG4070 ago.

11But nowG1161 alsoG2532 completeG2005 the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readinessG4288 to be willingG2309, so alsoG2532 to completeG2005 out of what ye have.

12For if the readinessG4288 be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.

13For [it is] not in orderG2443 that there may be easeG425 for othersG243, and for you distress,

14but [on the principle] of equality; in the presentG3568 timeG2540 your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, soG2443 that there should be equality.

15According as it is writtenG1125, He who [gathered] muchG4183 had no excess, and he who [gathered] littleG3641 was nothing short.
