My Daily Meditation
Today’s Reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 8:8-15
8 This say I not by commandment, but because of the diligence of others: therefore prove I the naturalness of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he being rich, for your sakes became poor, that ye through his poverty might be made rich.
10 And I show my mind herein: for this is expedient for you, which have begun not to do only, but also to will, a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform to do it also, that as there was a readiness to will, even so ye may perform it of that which ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 Neither is it that other men should be eased and you grieved: But upon like condition, at this time your abundance supplieth their lack:
14 That also their abundance may be for your lack, that there may be equality.
15 As it is written, He that gathered much, had nothing over, and he that gathered little, had not the less.
