2 Corinthians 4:18Our world is filled with unsolved mysteries. Science can only go so far until it collides into things that are not measurable. God gave us the Scripture and prayer because we need eternal reference points to navigate in a world that is passing away. Both the despair of our struggles and the ecstasy of our successes are temporary, so keep your eyes on that which lasts forever - the Kingdom of God.

Answer:
It gets to the nub of the matter in verses 13-15:
- 13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality.
- 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality,
- 15 as it is written: "The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."
This parallels Karl Marx's statement "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs)". This is a basic building block of the socialist state.
