2 Corinthians 8:11-13
International Standard Version
11 Now finish what you began, so that your eagerness to do so may be matched by your eagerness[a] to complete it. 12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift[b] is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
13 Not that others should have relief while you have hardship. Rather, it is a question of fairness.

New International Version
11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness(A) to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has,(B) not according to what one does not have.
13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.
