2 Corinthians 8:13 in context

2 Corinthians 8:10–16

10

I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

11

But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

12

For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

13
Selected verse

For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,

14

but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.

15

As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

16

But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
