This verse in other languages

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૮:૧૩
આ કામ એટલા માટે નથી કે બીજાઓને રાહત મળે અને તમને તકલીફ પડે,
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों ८:१३
यह नहीं कि औरों को चैन और तुम को क्लेश मिले।

In context

11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,

14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.

15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
