2 Corinthians 8

¹⁰ And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.

¹¹ Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means.

¹² For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

¹³ It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.

¹⁴ At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality.
