Now therefore / as ye are rich in all parties §Bin faith / in word / in knowledge / in all ferventness / and in love / which ye have to us: even so see that ye be plenteous in this benevolence. This say I not as commanding: but because other are so fervent / therefore prove I your love / whether it be perfect or no. Ye know the liberality of our lord Jesus Christ / which though he were rich / yet for your sakes be came poor: that ye through his poverty / might be made rich.

Now therefore perform the deed: that as there was in you a readiness to will / even so ye may perform the deed / of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind / it is accepted according to that a man hath / and not according §Cto that he hath not.
