"In this present time, let your abundance supply their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be an equality, just as it was written: "
— 2 Corinthians 8:14, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:”
“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: ”
“but 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.”
“At the present time, your abundance will meet their need, so that one day their abundance may also meet your need, and thus there may be equality,”
“In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality,”
“But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.”
“But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:”
So, truly now, accomplish this in deed, so that, in the same manner as your willing mind is prompted, you may also act, out of that which you have.
For when the will is prompted, it receives according to what that person has, not according to what that person does not have.
And it is not that others should be relieved, while you are troubled, but that there should be an equality.
In this present time, let your abundance supply their need, so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be an equality, just as it was written:
“He with more did not have too much; and he with less did not have too little.”
But thanks be to God, who has granted to the heart of Titus, this same solicitude for you.
For certainly, he accepted the exhortation. But since he was more solicitous, he went to you of his own free will.
