Generosity In Giving

⁹ For you know the unearned favor of our Lord Jesus Christ, [how] that even though He was rich, He became poor for your sakes, so that through His poverty you people could become [spiritually] rich. ¹⁰ Now here is my advice on what is best to do in this matter: Since you were the first ones to begin [taking up a collection] a year ago, [now you should] not only be doing something [about it], but [you should continue] wanting to do something [as well]. ¹¹ So, now finish doing it also, so that just as you were eager to want to, you will also [be eager to] finish it, according to your ability.
