2 Corinthians 8:10-12

Bible Text

[10] I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing. [11] But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. [12] For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.

Jerusalem was the center of the early Jewish-Christian church, whose believers were experiencing need and were the intended recipients of the Corinthian collection. Macedonia, a Roman province north of Greece, provided churches whose generosity Paul presents nearby as an example encouraging Corinth to complete its pledged gift.
