2 Corinthians 8:12 in Context — 2 Corinthians 8

10 E nisto dou [minha] opinião: porque isto vos convém, não somente a fazer, mas também a querer, dado que começastes desde o ano passado.

11 Portanto agora completai também o que já foi começado; para que, assim como houve ânimo no querer, assim também o seja no que tendes de completar.

12 Porque se existe a boa vontade, [a doação] é aceitável conforme o que se tem, e não conforme o que não se tem.

13 Porque não [digo isto] para que outros tenham alívio, e vós opressão;

14 Mas [para que] igualmente, neste tempo presente, vossa abundância seja [para suprir] a falta dos outros, para que também a abundância deles seja [para suprir] vossa falta, para que haja igualdade.
