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

我原不是要别人轻省，你们受累，

我不是要别人轻松，你们受累，而是要均匀：

我不是要别人轻松，你们受累，而是要均匀：

这不是说要别人脱离困境，要你们陷入困境，乃是要均平。

这不是要别人轻省，你们受累，而是要大家都均等。

其实我这样说不是为了让别人轻松、你们为难，而是为了公平——

我原不是要別人輕省，你們受累，

我不是要別人輕鬆，你們受累，而是要均勻：

我不是要別人輕鬆，你們受累，而是要均勻：

Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.

We don’t want others to have it easy at your expense. We want things to be equal.

For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness

Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality.

It is not that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality.

For this is not for the relief of others and for your hardship, but by way of equality—

For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed;

It is not that there may be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality—

For[ I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

For I do not say this so there would be relief for others and suffering for you, but as a matter of equality.

For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.
