But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?
Which one of you, intending to build a tower, would not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has sufficient funds for its completion?
But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given to You.
