2 Corinthians 8:11-15
11But now finish 1doing it also, so that just as there was the 2readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability. 12For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable 3according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 13For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality-- 14at this present time your abundance being a supply for 4their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for 5your need, that there may be equality; 15as it is written, “6He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
