A gift Generosity Encouraged
I am not commending you, but I want to Tet the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. For you know that grace of our lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he become poor, so the that you though his poverty might become rich.
And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter, last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has not according to what to does not have.
Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed but that there might be equality, At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need then there will be equality as it is written. He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little
