The Second Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians      8: 7, 9, 13-51

8:7 But, just as in all things you abound in faith and in word and in knowledge and in all solicitude, and even more so in your charity toward us, so also may you abound in this grace.
8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that through his poverty, you might become rich.
8:13 And it is not that others should be relieved, while you are troubled, but that there should be an equality.
8:14 In this present time, let your abundance supply their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be an equality, just as it was written:
8:15 “He with more did not have too much; and he with less did not have too little.”
