2 Corinthians / Question
Question source
2 Corinthians
Paul explains that the aim is fairness: their present abundance can meet others’ need, and later the situation could be reversed. He summarizes it with "that there may be fairness." See 2 Corinthians 8:13–14.
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.
