2 Corinthians 8:10-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

10. This is what I think you should do: Last year you were the first to want to give, and you were the first who gave.

11. So now finish the work you started. Then your “doing” will be equal to your “wanting to do.” Give from what you have.

12. If you want to give, your gift will be accepted. Your gift will be judged by what you have, not by what you don’t have.

13. We don’t want you to have troubles while others are comforted. We want everything to be equal.

14. At this time you have plenty and can provide what they need. Then later, when they have plenty, they can provide what you need. Then everyone will have an equal share.
