New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 And in this matter I am giving my opinion: it is beneficial for you who began last year not only to do something but even to desire to do something.(A) 11 Now finish doing it, so that your eagerness may be matched by completing it according to your means.(B) 12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.(C) 13 For I do not mean that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality between 14 your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be equality. 15 As it is written,
“The one who had much did not have too much,
and the one who had little did not have too little.”(D)
