I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.
2 Corinthians 8:9 NKJV
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:10 NKJV
And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago;
2 Corinthians 8:11 NKJV
but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
2 Corinthians 8:12 NKJV
For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.
2 Corinthians 8:13 NKJV
For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;
2 Corinthians 8:14 NKJV
but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality.
2 Corinthians 8:15 NKJV
As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
