2 Corinthians 8

As Paul taught the doctrine -

"...behold, thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.
31 And inasmuch as ye impart of your substance unto the poor, ye will do it unto me..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 42:30 - 31)

He wrote to the Corinthians -

"...if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 8:12)

Explaining -

"For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened..." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 8:13)

And then he teaches a principle that I am not sure is clearly understood -

"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..." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 8:14)

I think most people would assume that equality would be in quantity of possessions, but I believe when he writes for "their" and "your" want, I think is is suggesting equal opportunity and desires. We learn in modern day, Bishop Partridge was commanded -

"...appoint unto this people their portions, every man equal according to his family, according to his circumstances and his wants and needs." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 51:3)

In this case equal does not suggest equal in quantity. As we contemplate our obligations -

"...that ye must visit the poor and the needy and administer to their relief..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 44:6)

We should also consider that which Paul taught that -

"...He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work..."
(New Testament | 2 Corinthians 9:6 - 8)

For -

"...he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God." (New Testament | 2 Corinthians 9:10 - 11)
