 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. For I do not mean that others it should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness your abundance at the present time should supply their needs, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. As it is written, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.
