In context

8 I am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others.

9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

10 And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.

11 Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.

12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
