2 Corinthians 8:8-12

8I am not telling you that you must do this. I have told you how much other believers want to give their money. In that way, I want to see if you really love other people who need your help.

9You know that our Lord Jesus Christ is very kind. He was rich, but he made himself poor to help you. So then, because he became poor, you could become rich.

10This is what I think you should do. Last year, you were the first people to give money. You really wanted to do that. So the best thing for you is to finish what you started to do.

11Now finish the work. When you started, you wanted very much to do it. Now you should want just as much to finish it. You should give what you are able to give.

12If you really want to give, then God will accept your gift. God does not want you to give more than you are able to give. He will be happy about what you can give.
