In context

11 Now therefore finish the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 For if there is first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to what a man hath, [and] not according to what he hath not.
13 For [I mean] not that other men should be eased, and you burdened:
14 But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no want.
16 But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
