40. You know the generous grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty
he could make you rich. Here is my advice: It would be good for you to finish what you started a year ago. Last year you were the first who wanted to give, and you were the first to begin doing it. Now you should finish what you started. Let the eagerness you showed in the beginning be matched now by your giving. Give in proportion to what you have. Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly.
