2 Corinthians 8:12-15 ▼

12 with whatever contributions you have. Since you are willing to do this, [remember] that people are accepted if they give what they are able to give. God doesn't ask for what they don't have.

13 I don't mean that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it's a matter of striking a balance.

14 At the present time, your surplus fills their need so that their surplus may fill your need. In this way things balance out.

15 This is what Scripture says: |Those who had gathered a lot didn't have too much, and those who gathered a little didn't have too little.|
