2 Corinthians 8:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair balance between 14 your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may be a fair balance. 15 As it is written,
‘The one who had much did not have too much,
and the one who had little did not have too little.’
