Kehilah In Corinth 2 8:10-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. And in this I give my etza (advice): it is tov me'od that last shanah you were the first not only to give tzedakah but also to be willing to do so.

11. Now also complete what you started! Then your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your finishing it from what you have. [SHEMOT 25:2]

12. For if the readiness is already present, it is acceptable according to whatever one may have --not according to what one does not have. [MISHLE 3:27-28; Mk 12:43]

13. For it is not that there should be relief to others and distress and tzoros to you, but that there should be a balance of equality
