A Gift Proportionate To Your Abundance Is Acceptable For Their Need

12 For if the eagerness is there, it [a] is acceptable to whatever degree a person may have, not to-the-degree he does not have. 13 For it is not in order that there may be rest[b] for others, affliction[c] for you, but out of equality[d] 14 at the present time your abundance[e] being for the need of those ones, in order that the abundance of those ones also may come-to-be for your need, so that there may be equality.
