Bible verse
At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality.
2 Corinthians 8:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 8.
10 And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.
11 Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
13 It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
14 At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality.
15 As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
16 But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
17 For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
18 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
