10And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.
11Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.
12For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
13And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:
14But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.
15As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.
16But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
