9For 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 become rich.

10And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

11But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.

12For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.

13For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed;

14but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:

15as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.
