12. It doesn't matter how much you have. What matters is how much you are willing to give from what you have.
13. I am not trying to make life easier for others by making life harder for you. But it is only fair
14. for you to share with them when you have so much, and they have so little. Later, when they have more than enough, and you are in need, they can share with you. Then everyone will have a fair share,
15. just as the Scriptures say,“Those who gatheredtoo muchhad nothing left.Those who gatheredonly a littlehad all they needed.”
16. I am grateful that God made Titus care as much about you as we do.
17. When we begged Titus to visit you, he said he would. He wanted to because he cared so much for you.
18. With Titus we are also sending one of the Lord's followers who is well known in every church for spreading the good news.
