2 Corinthians 8:12-14

Christian Standard Bible

¹² For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.^{(A) 13} It is not that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality.^{[a] 14} At the present time your surplus is available for their need, so that their abundance may in turn meet your need, in order that there may be equality.
