2 Corinthians 8:14
_ _ by an equality — “by the rule of equality” [Alford]: literally, “Out of equality.”
_ _ now at this time — Greek, “at the present juncture” or season.
_ _ that their abundance also — The Greek being distinct from the previous “that,” translate, “in order that,” namely, at another season, when your relative circumstances may be reversed. The reference is solely to temporal wants and supplies. Those, as Bengel, who quote Romans 15:27 for interpreting it of spiritual supplies from the Jews to the Gentiles, forget that Romans 15:27 refers to the past benefit spiritually, which the Jews have conferred on the Gentiles, as a motive to gratitude on the part of the latter, not to a prospective benefit to be looked for from the former, which the text refers to. |
2 Corinthians 8:14
That their abundance — If need should so require. May be — At another time. A supply to your want: that there may be an equality — No want on one side, no superfluity on the other. It may likewise have a further meaning: — that as the temporal bounty of the Corinthians did now supply the temporal wants of their poor brethren in Judea, so the prayers of these might be a means of bringing down many spiritual blessings on their benefactors: so that all the spiritual wants of the one might be amply supplied; all the temporal of the other. |
2 Corinthians 8:14
But by an (h) 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:
(h) That as now in your abundance you help others with a share of your goods, so should others in the same way bestow some of their goods upon you. |
