13For I say not this, that others may be eased, and ye distressed:


In Context

14 but by equality; your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality:

15 as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack.
