The Principle of the Manna
Paul quotes Exodus 16:18, referencing the miraculous provision of manna. Commentators explain that when the Israelites gathered manna, God ensured that those who gathered much had no surplus and those who gathered little had no lack. This event serves as a powerful illustration of God's ideal for His people: a community where everyone's needs are met through His provision.
