King James Version with Apocrypha
"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:"
— 2 Corinthians 8:14, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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.”

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