¹¹ Now finish the work. When you started, you wanted very much to do it. Now you should want just as much to finish it. You should give what you are able to give. ¹² If you really want to give, then God will accept your gift. God does not want you to give more than you are able to give. He will be happy about what you can give.

¹³ My purpose is not to bring trouble to you. You should not have pain while other people have plenty. Instead, both you and they should have enough.
