2 Corinthians 8:11-15

11But now finish 1doing it also, so that just as there was the 2willingness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability. 12For if the willingness 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 relief of others and for your hardship, but by way of equality-- 14at this present time your abundance will serve as assistance for 4their need, so that their abundance also may 5serve as assistance for 6your need, so that there may be equality; 15as it is written: “7The one who had gathered much did not have too much, and the one who had gathered little did not have too little.”
