2 Cor. 8:12-15 (NIV)
For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. Our desire is not that others might be
relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.
![Page 3: Making Money and Giving Work](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060123/559670001a28abd0448b45b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2 Cor. 8:12-15 (NIV)
At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, as it is written: "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he
who gathered little did not have too little."

And here is my advice about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may
be matched by your completion of it, according to your means.

Making Money Work
2 Cor. 8:12-15 (NIV) For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not
according to what he does not have. Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the
present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, as it is written: "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who
gathered little did not have too little."
