New Testament

2 Corinthians 8:11-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. So finish the work. Then your longing to do it will be matched by your finishing it. Give on the basis of what you have.

12. Do you really want to give? Then the gift is received in keeping with what you have, not with what you don't have.

13. We don't want others to have it easy at your expense. We want things to be equal.

14. Right now you have plenty in order to take care of what they need. Then they will have plenty to take care of what you need. That will make things equal.

15. It is written, "Those who gathered a lot didn't have too much. And those who gathered a little had enough." (Exodus 16:18)
