2 Corinthians 8:10-15
21st Century King James Version
10 And herein I give my advice, for this is expedient for you, who began earlier not only to do, but also to be in the forefront a year ago.
11 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.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, and not according to what he hath not.
13 For I do not mean that other men should be eased and ye burdened,
14 but that there be an equality: that now at this time your abundance may supply their want, that their abundance may also supply your want, that there may be equality.
15 As it is written: “He that had gathered much had nothing left over, and he that had gathered little had no lack.”

2 Corinthians 8:10-15
American Standard Version
10 And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. 11 But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. 12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. 13 For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed; 14 but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality: 15 as it is written, [a]He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack.
