2 Corinthians 8:15
Douay-Rheims
As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
(Exo 16:18; Septuagint). As God gave an equal portion of manna to all the Israelites, whether they could gather much or little; so Christians should promote by liberality an equality, so that none should need the necessaries of life while others have superfluities. "Our luxuries should yield to our neighbor's comforts; and our comforts to his necessities" [J. HOWARD].
