14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, 现在你们这些富足的人可以帮补那些有需要的人,以便你们有需要的时候,那些富足的人也可以帮补你们,这样才均平。

15 as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.” 正如圣经上说:“多拾的没有剩余,少拾的也没有缺乏。”
