9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor that ye through his poverty might be enriched.
10 And in this I give my advice, for this is expedient for you, who began not only to do, but also to be diligent a year ago.
11 Now therefore finish the doing of it that as there was a readiness to will, so there may also be a performance out of that which ye have.
12 For if there is first a willing desire, it is accepted according to what a person has and not according to what they do not have.
13 For I mean not that others be eased and ye burdened,
14 but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want that their abundance also may be a supply for your want, that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over, and he that had gathered little had no lack.
