2Corinthians:8:7-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore ,
as ye abound in every thing ,
in faith ,
and utterance ,
and knowledge ,
and in all diligence ,
and in your love to us ,
see that ye abound in this grace also .
*
I speak not by commandment ,
but by occasion of the forwardness of others ,
and to prove the sincerity of your love .
*
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
that ,
though he was rich ,
yet for your sakes he became poor ,
that ye through his poverty might be rich .
*
And herein I give my advice :
for this is expedient for you ,
who have begun before ,
not only to do ,
but also to be forward a year ago .
*
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 .
*
For if there be first a willing mind ,
it is accepted according to that a man hath ,
and not according to that he hath not .
*
For I mean not that other men be eased ,
and ye burdened :
*
But by an equality ,
that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want ,
that their abundance also may be a supply for your want :
that there may be equality :
*
As it is written ,
He that had gathered much had nothing over ;
and he that had gathered little had no lack .
