ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 8 v15

ALL MADE EQUAL. AMBROSIASTER: The saints, with their hope in the world to come, have more than those who appear to be rich in this world. But both will be made equal, because those who give of their wealth to help the saints now will be helped by them at some future time, when they are in need. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THE CASE OF THE MANNA. CHRYSOSTOM: This happened in the case of the manna, when those who gathered more and those who gathered less were found to have the same quantity. God did this in order to punish greed, and Paul recalls it both to alarm them by what happened then and to persuade them never to desire more than they already have or to be anxious because they have less.
