2 Corinthians 8:8-15
8 "I
speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love
by the diligence of others. 9 For you know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes
He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 10
And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing
what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11
but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness
to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted
according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
13 For I do not mean that others should be eased
and you burdened; 14 but by an equality, that now
at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance
also may supply your lack—that there may be equality. 15
As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he
who gathered little had no lack.”
