PSALM 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:7-15
Now as you excel in everything—in faith, in
speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness,
and in our love for you—so we want you .excel
also in this generous undertaking.
I do not say this as a command, but I am testing the
genuineness of your love against the earnestness
of others. For you know the generous act of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for
your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty
you might become rich. And in this matter, I am
giving my advice: it is appropriate for you who
began last year not only to do something but
even to desire to do something— now finish doing
it, so that your eagerness may be matched by
completing it according to your means. For if the
eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according
to what one has—not according to what one does
not have. I do not mean that there should be relief
for others and pressure on you, but it is a question
of a fair balance between your present abundance
and their need, so that their abundance may be for
your need, in order that there may be a fair
balance. As it is written, ‘The one who had much
did not have too much, and the one who had little
did not have too little.
