2 Corinthians 8:10-14

10I 1give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin 2a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it.

11But now finish 3doing it also, so that just as there was the 4willingness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

12For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable 5according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

13For this is not for the relief of others and for your hardship, but by way of equality--

14at this present time your abundance will serve as assistance for 6their need, so that their abundance also may 7serve as assistance for 8your need, so that there may be equality;
