"You are well acquainted with the favor shown you by Our Lord Jesus Christ: how for your sake he made himself poor though he was rich, so that you might become rich by his poverty ... The willingness to give should accord with one's means, not go beyond them. The relief of others ought not to impoverish you; there should be certain be a certain equality. Your plenty at the present time should supply their need so that their surplus may one day supply your need, with equality as the result." (2 Corinthians 8: 9, 12-14)
