13for not that for others release, and ye pressured, do I speak,


In Context

10 and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you is expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin before — a year ago,

11 and now also finish doing it, that even as there is the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,

12 for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;

13 for not that for others release, and ye pressured, do I speak,

14 but by equality, at the present time your abundance — for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,

15 according as it hath been written, 'He who did gather much, had nothing over; and he who did gather little, had no lack.'
