2 Corinthians 8:12 Douay-Rheims

For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.

Clement of Alexandria

c. A.D. 150–215 Patristic

"But if there be present readiness of mind, according to what a man hath it is acceptable, and not according to what he hath not: for it is not that there be ease to others, but tribulation to you, but of equality at the present time "and so forth.
Those, who have entertained the wish whose purpose is equal, share in the same honour with those who have the ability, although others have the advantage in point of resources.
