[9] For ye know the grace Lord Jesus Christ, that, rich, sakes he became poor, that through his poverty might be rich. [10] And herein I give my advice: for is expedient who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. [11] Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. [12] For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that hath, and not according to that he hath not. [13] For I mean not that other men be eased, burdened: [14] an equality, that now at this time abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for want: that there may be equality: [15] As it is written, He that had gathered much nothing over; and he that had gathered little no lack.
